There is political and tribal violence in Kenya. The NYT has the story here. Westminster Seminary California student Peter Mulinge writes to the WSC email list:

I ask you to pray for my country there is unrest everywhere, many people have been killed, properties burned down and looted, a church was set on fire while people were worshiping, this came as a result of a rigged election which brought back to power the former president after he was beaten by the opposition but he rigged himself back and claimed victory. Pray for my family they are stranded at the village where they had gone for Christmas holiday. Although they are safe, the city (Nairobi) is deserted.

God bless you,

Peter Mulinge
