Recently in Pokomo and Orma, Kenya there has been a vicious rivalry going on between ethnic groups , this rivalry has gotten so bad that even in the hospital they have to separate the ethnic groups to different sides, so no violence will break out. An example of this horrible violence is a nine month old girl who now has a scare on the back of her head, from a machete that almost decapitated her in this past December. They say that this war has broken out between ethnic groups because of land, tribe and politics. This is not the first time that serious violence has broken out. They say that this country goes through peaceful times and then something from the past gets brought up that leads them back to the violent ways. For example in 2007 when a vicious attacks were set out that killed over 1,000 people because of a bad vote, these people are letting the little things get to them and it is resulting in serious violence that is killing way too many people. I mean seriously they almost decapitated a nine month old child! There has got to be another way to resolve problems and killing a child less than a year old is not going to get you anywhere.
They need to bring their country together as one, they shouldn’t be fighting! They may have separate views on things but they are all from the same place, they should be united and worry about bigger problems than what ethnic group that person is from and there should be more important things than going around killing the people in the ethnic group that isn’t yours. Think about it for a second, you all come from the same place, why are you fighting with each other when there is so many other good things that you could be fighting for. (315)
