"It all began soon after the election results were announced. A number of groups from the local community broke into war songs and raided the shopping centre next to the university."

Caesar Wamalika, chaplain at the University of Eastern Africa in Baraton, in Kenya's Rift Valley, describes recent developments on campus in this BBC article.

It sounds like a very serious situation indeed...I hardly know how to respond. I can't imagine one of our schools having to face a situation like this where certain ethnic groups were forced to leave campus.
