Listening to radio breakfast news on my matatu this morning -
'A herd of cows died as they sheltered with their herder from the rain storm last night. The power lines carrying a high-voltage current connected with the water beneath the cows and 20 died. A riot broke out amongst local people who all wanted the fresh meat for their families'
'A man was found defiling an 11-year old girl in a field, and had to be rescued by police from angry local people who were trying to kill him'
I post these as interesting tales from a very different society, but also because they've been troubling me. I'm a little overwhelmed by the lack of infrastructure, governance, wealth and education that run beneath these stories. Where are we living? And what on earth can we do?
