Comments on: Kenya http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/kenya/ Reflections of a working writer and reader Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:06:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Diane http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/kenya/comment-page-1/#comment-103700 Diane Wed, 09 Jan 2008 14:11:24 +0000 http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/kenya/#comment-103700 You'll get no disagreement from me on that account, Mr. Taylor. I've done foster care for infants who have been abused... indeed Africa has no corner on the cruelty market. Sadly, there is quite enough of that to go round the world. Still, seeing such a graphic example breaks my heart, and I hope I can remain soft enough so that it always will. I checked out your website and it seems like a most worthy endeavor...I wish you all success:-) You’ll get no disagreement from me on that account, Mr. Taylor.

Those who are interested can set themselves a task to see why Africa is different. There are two Africas and they are very different, Africa North of the Sahara, and Africa South of the Sahara. I have been bitten with the "Africa Bug as I spent my childhood in Africa. It attacks those who visit Africa South of the Sahara sometimes and is pretty deadly. You find your bank balance goes down as year by year you feel a compunction to go back. Your knowledge of the rest of the world lacks as you want to go back only to Africa. Kenya would be much worse at this moment in time of the Masai were involved. But fortunately they are nomadic people and take little interest in politics. Diana, you can look a lot closer to home for the cruelty of man. Your (and my British) politicians. For these people kill hundreds of thousands. And subject millions of their own citizens with their lust for power and control. I am not saying, or advising your readers to take a different course, just to realise that Africa is different.

I do not think I will ever understand the cruelty of man........ My heart is broken by the photos and reports of the children’s bodies that are literally piling up in the morgues.
