Reparations Means Being Engaged in Kenya's Crisis

For almost two (2) months Kenya has been in crisis. We heard about the issue a great deal in the beginning, however media coverage has waned. But, the crisis still rages. As it stands, over 1,000 people have been killed and more than 300,000 are now homeless.

"The most effective way to get these issues solved is for the leaders to feel pressure from their own people," US President George W. Bush said on his way home from an Africa tour where the crisis was on high on the agenda.

Reparations means that we are their own people. Whether we are from the US, the Caribbean or the Continent, we are all African people.
