		<description>I'm afraid this is human nature: group-forming and competition for resources.

The first signs of it here were in the Summer Riots of 2001; dampened now by white flight.

Africa was deliberately cut up across tribal lines to divide and conquer; the moral solution is for ethnic states both there and everywhere in the world.

In Britain and Holland; Spain; France; Belgium; Germany; Italy... we face a similar future.

You don't have to be a follower of the prophet Enoch to believe that; you just have to spend some time living in an urban ethnic hotspot.

The sooner it is recognised that there is an indigenous, autochthonous group of ethnic British (mostly Haplogroup R1b1c &#38; I1a, and a dash of R1a), the better we may be able to deal with it, by defining some clear territories to divide our land between us and the immigrants.

Kosovo anyone?</description>

		<description>A gloriously practical solution to a seemingly intractable problem. Simple, yet elegant. Why had no-one thought of this before?</description>

		<description>Fred and Joseph,

Many thanks for taking the time to read the article and comment.

During the process of writing the article, Christiana and I contacted ten individual sources in Kenya, from Kericho, Nakuru, Kisumu, and Nairobi.

Perhaps the article was not as clear as it could have been, and for that I apologise.  I will, however, seek to address the issues you raise concerning the factual content.

Concerning Luos, three separate people in Kericho told us that Luos were forming gangs along with the Kalenjin tribe.  Furthermore, the church burned in Eldorat on January 2 was a direct attack on Kibaki’s tribe by supporters of the ODM, the majority of who belong to the Luo tribe.  

Concerning the ethnic mix in Kericho, Christiana lived in Kericho for five months and taught in a school there for the duration.  The large tea estates attract workers from all over Kenya, resulting in a multi-tribal “hub” surrounding Kericho.

Concerning Kisumu, it may be “Luo country”, but areas of the city do have a high Kikuyu presence according to a woman there who is helping to shelter people of all tribes from the violence.  Given that she is a long-standing resident of the city, I would be inclined to trust her judgement.

I hope this has addressed your concerns.  If there is still anything that you would like clarifying, please feel free to get in touch.  Thanks again for commenting.

		<description>The luo were targeted before the whole thing was played out. The rigging that is. Thus, the live bullets. And the only other place than Kibera that it was used. Watch more closely and you will see more to come from all the tribes.

And the fact you need to understand is that Raila was elected by the ODM to run for presidency. He did not asigne himself that duty. Since you are not very well informed, let me put it to you simply. The rest of the kenyan nation does not agree with the rigging. THE REST OF KENYANS.</description>

		<description>I believe your reporters need to get their facts correct before you post them on the net. Luos are not the occupants of Kericho, Kipsigis are the dominant and original ethnic community there(no violent Luo gangs have been formed). Kisumu for your information is Luo country, (not heavily mixed with kikuyus).</description>
