bom on a Monday. In my community people meet on Mondays to discuss issues, and this is “Baraza.” “Baraza” is the Swahili word for an assembly, or meeting. So, this very event where Baraza spoke was itself a baraza. Baraza went on: “When a child cries, for whatever reason, because it wants to eat, or whatever, mothers will come and sit and start counting the names of the ancestors and when there comes a time when they mention a name and a child sneezes, that is the name of the child. I sneezed at “Wanakuta.”
Violence in Sudan
, Baraza then spoke of recent events in the Sudan. The Sudan, he reminded listeners, borders Kenya to the west. Most Americans know about the violence there, that the word genocide' has been tentatively raised by public figures and then danced around and gingerly avoided. Fewer Americans know about the long civil war between the North and South Sudan.
“Since 1956, when the British left the Sudan, there have been more than three million dead. After we signed a peace accord, (completed very recently) last night Vice President John Garang (Southern Vice President of the Sudan) was flying from Uganda. The plane crashed. So say a prayer for Sudan. Think of Sudan.” Since that crash, people fear war may resume.
