Sasha Chanoff's Thoughts on the Violence in Kenya

The post-election violence in Kenya has been troubling to many members of the Echoing Green community. To share his opinion on the situation, 2006 Echoing Green Fellow Sasha Chanoff, founder of Mapendo International, wrote an editorial piece for the Boston Globe. In it, he discusses the problem of simply blaming the violence on tribal conflict, and urges everyone to contemplate the influence of poverty and politics on the Kenyan people.
