The violence in Kenya is deteriorating fast that some of my relatives are leaving Kenya immediately. My relatives lived in Nairobi and surrounding areas for generations, but now they are in hurry to leave the city for their safety. Have any of you heard from a family or friends who are also leaving the city?

They're all staying indoors. Some of my other relatives left before the elections started. They knew trouble was brewing.

I wonder how to alert the ODM supporters to target the ProKibaki/ProAfbiijo group.
