Something that has been overlooked during the primaries, possibly because there’s so much other sexier news going on but also maybe because, as I’d like to believe, Obama and his staff wouldn’t stoop to playing up humanitarian diplomacy efforts as campaign flash (maybe wishful thinking here) but here’s an interesting story on Barack’s ongoing effort to calm things down a bit in Kenya, his father’s and grandmother’s homeland. If you’ve been reading about Kenya lately, as you should, there’s a riot goin’ on, and not in a fun, Sly and the Family Stone way. More like massive street violence and the burning of small towns-type thing due a contested election. It’s short, read it.
