Kennedy Owino +254 723 568 251 , I note that you have video of the Nafsi
Afrika Acrobats making a human pyramid for peace (about 40 MB) and also
you have 2 GB of footage about the violence as you describe below.

You are in Nairobi so I wonder if you could deliver it directly to the
BBC's office there?

Kennedy you also sent photos from Emmanuel Wandera can you or he explain
more about who? what? where? when? why?
