Mass Protest 16th-18th Jan 08
What in the earth do mass protests mean?

A series of mass protest has engulfed our dear nation by the order of the
main opposition party ODM

Here in Nandi hills and at Kasiwon, m place at around p.m a gang of about
200 men armed with bow, arrows clubs and a host other crude weapons raided
our small town council.

Terror grasped hold of our strong hold, wails and cries were heard all
over till dawn during the house to house search of the few remaining
Kikuyus’.
Door to door search left the residents psychologically tear apart. Most
people felt that their properties were being assed only to be later raided
and taken away by force which was later to be case.

Thank God the agonizing stint that left our mouths sour ended at dawn.
Midday all shops closed owners were still forced by the mob to provide for
transport and lunch plus fuel to go and raid the next town fifteen
Kilometers away.

Before they left a discussion ensued and they all agreed that women who
are married to none Kalenjins will not have to evicted and are not
supposed to be harassed as the case.

Currently we’ve managed to get at least 25 youth to be none partisan to
the violence activities currently ongoing. We’ve mainly managed t get
those youths from the town en its near environs since e the main
perpetuators of these violence activities are youths from the outcasts of
the town whom we are currently targeting through various means which will
include sports and drama m activities. There are individuals who are
paying for the eviction of the Kikuyus so that they can benefit by
grabbing the properties left behind which include land house and goods.

May main problem is moving from on place to another due transport
irregularities secondly, through the group we’ve managed to get the town
councilors and the police to help us organize an open airconcrt dubbed
“Ngao our Shield” this will take place on 27th of January 08 at the Nadi
Hills Gardens in Nandi Hills. Thirdly we are organizing for a soccer event
to coincide with the Arusei Cup tournament. But due to the ban on public
meetings we’ll use the pastors and councilors influence to help organize
this event.

Furthermore, we’ll incur expenses in transport also lunch and other
incentives which we’ve giving including airtime which is to aid in the
preparing of these events.
Any assistance e given to me will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
