Children at Kibera - (Nairobi - Kenya) by Mamen Saura on flickr.com

"Ethnically driven violence intensified in Kenya on Sunday, and police officials said at least 19 people, including 11 children, were burned to death in a house by a mob".

This picture was taken in September 2007 in Kibera (Nairobi - Kenya). Kibera is one of the biggest slums in Africa. There were about 40 children crowded in a small room where the only source of light came from a tiny window. They were as curious about me as I was about them. Their eyes tell the story better than anything I could write...

This picture is dedicated to all those children who lost their lives in Naivasha and elsewhere in Kenya. Innocent victims of nonsense violence.
