Societies that cannot stare the truth in the eye and call it by its correct name will perish. They will pack up under the burden of dishonesty, hypocrisy and multiple standards.

A Genetically Modified contamination register report by both the Greenpeace International and Green-watch details 39 new cases of GM crop contamination in 23 countries over the past one year. Most of this contamination involved such stable crops as maize and rice, and included cotton, bananas and papaya.

This year's annual report on the register comes against the background of a controversy surround Genetically Engineered seed varieties. Kenyan environmentalists and farmers in the country confronted the government and the seed giant Pioneer Company for importing and selling genetically
Zimbabwe's high court has turned down the MDC's request to have the results of the presidential election last month immediately released. Al Jazeera reports "[i]t took no more than two minutes for the high court judge to deliver his judgment."
There has been no immediate explanation for the ruling, as it is still being typed up. More news forthcoming, of course.
In other news on the African continent, Kenyan president Mwai Kibaki has officially named opposition leader Raila Odinga to the post of prime minister after months of political violence. The cabinet is going to be split 50-50 between Kibaki's and Odinga's parties, but there is still disagreement about the most effective size of cabinet:

Most people only see the Aberdare country club because it is the departure base for the Ark, A night game viewing lodge. The minivan disgorges their international, camera toting cargo before lunch. After lunch the dark green ark buses roll out heading for the Aberdare forest. The crowds come back next morning looking weary and disheveled to herded back into minivans and on to the next stop. For those who have the time to stay however the Aberdare country club can be a supremely quiet and relaxing getaway.

They named the house "steep" because of its position on the side of the hill commanding sweeping views in all directions. The Lyon’s were part of the notorious happy valley s

While Zimbabwe awaits either the results of its elections (or a judge’s order to release them), Mugabe’s ZANU-PF party and their supporters are attacking the opposition throughout the country. Violence began last week, but has now escalated into an all-out campaign of suppression.
The opposition, for its part, is calling on other African countries to intervene. But even though leaders like South Africa’s Jacob Zuma are beginning to speak out, it seems international institutions like the AU will have little power to affect the outcome in Zimbabwe. Even though the warning signs of violence, fraud, and disenfrachisement have been there for weeks now, the international consequences for Mugabe probably won’t go far beyond symbolic sanctions.

The National Environment Management Authority has introduced new regulations on gas emissions, signalling a possible rise in the cost of producing industrial goods.Under the rules, industrialists will be required to operate within set emission limits or face heavy penalties for failing to comply.Although Nema, the environment watchdog, says the aim is to curb rising levels of industrial pollution in the country, the rules will require industrialists to acquire new production techniques at a heavy cost.

A Kenya Safari Holiday At A Private Game Lodge Next To The Lewa ConservancyBy: Peter R StewartA Kenya Safari Holiday, part of which is spent at a Private Game Lodge called Borana adjacent to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy may not at first seem to be what you are looking for, because Borana is probably a name you are unfamiliar with.You are going to spend a lot of money taking any African safari Trip, especially one at the luxury end of the scale, so it is very well worth your while doing a lot of research before committing your hard earned cash to a safari picked because you liked a picture in a brochure.

Stuart, a friend and colleague just came back from his Kenya mission where he supported the aid surge after the election trouble. When he told me he brought some pictures back, I thought it would be about crowds fighting with riot police, burning houses and charred cars.But most of his pictures were about children. And they touched me. I don't know why. Maybe because of the innocence they radiate, amidst violence and hatred. Maybe because while their country threatened to go up in flames, these children continued to smile. Pictures courtesy Stuart Zimble (WHO/WFP)

I asked for feedback from you and got quite some. Some privately and some publically – thank you all who took the time to answer. One of the feedbacks I heard more than once was, that you are interested in my view on the region and the security there. So, what I will try to do is giving you some insights in trips I do to more "exotic" places (so I will most probably not cover my trips to Brussels and London next week).

The Republic of Kenya is a country in Eastern Africa. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the northeast, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and Sudan to the northwest, with the Indian Ocean running along the southeast border.Kenya has considerable land area of wildlife habitat, including the Masai Mara, where blue wildebeest and other bovids participate in a large scale annual migration. Up to 250,000 blue wildebeest perish each year in the long and arduous movement to find forage in the dry season. The "Big Five" animals of Africa can also be found in Kenya: the lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros and elephant. A significant population of other wild animals, reptiles and birds can be found in the national parks and game reserves in the country.

By: Alex LandinKenya is situated in East Africa and shares its borders with Somalia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda and Sudan. Kenya has one of the greatest or biggest wildlife habitats in the world and it is called the Masai Mara, which sees the annual migration of Wildebeast. Some of the other big animals found in Kenya include buffalo, lion, leopard, rhinoceros and elephants. Although Kenya has some natural resources and wildlife, there is still a lot more that Kenyan people need in terms of stabilizing the economy. There is poverty, lack of healthcare facilities, lack of education and poaching and amidst all this the Kenyan and the Masai tribal people are trying hard to carve an existence.If you are interested in overseas volunteer work and want to add to a cause then volunteering in Kenya is a great opportunity! There are many organizations, which have specific programs that can help you get volunteer work in the form of teaching English overseas or lend a helping hand in development

Mahela Jayawardene's Sri Lanka smashed the record score in Twenty20 internationals to trounce Kenya by 172 runs at the Wanderers.Jayawardene's men piled up a gargantuan 260 for six after being asked to bat first by the African minnows in the World Twenty20 contest and powered their way past Australia's previous high of 221 for six against England in Sydney earlier this year. Master blaster Sanath Jayasuriya savaged 88 from only 44 balls and Jayawardene scored at an even quicker rate, his ability to execute elegant strokes powerfully reaping 65, off only 27 deliveries. Yet they were outdone by a spectacular cameo from Jehan Mubarak, who struck five sixes and three fours to reach 46 from a dozen balls.One more boundary would have obliterated Mohammad Ashraful's record for the fastest half-century, a 20-ball effort against West Indies yesterday, but he missed the final delivery of the innings, sent down by Peter Ongondo, completely.

Naivasha — forget the volcanic dust — has become one of the convenient weekend getaway destinations, perhaps because it is only 45 minutes from Nairobi and it has turned out to be synonymous with campers.

A pastor is fighting for his life after protesting villagers mutilated his genitals. (They cut off his balls!) This article is also known as; "Don't fuck with the locals!"The mob was bitter that a man, who the preacher had promised to cure through prayer, died during the ‘healing.’On Monday evening, villagers burnt the pastor’s church, locally known as Oterona in Gesiaga village, Nyamira District, but the evangalist escaped. Police said the villagers caught up with the man in his hideout. The preacher was admitted to Nyamira District Hospital where superintendent, Dr Morris Odhiambo, described the pastor’s condition as stable, but declined to comment further. Residents said the sect does not believe in conventional medicine and local OCPD, Mr Joseph Kimeli, said no arrests had been made.

… puede ser una simple bicicleta. El que tiene una la puede usar para transportar personas (hay muchas bici-taxis), o pesadas cargas. En territorio kikuyu es habitual ver biciletas con tremendas cargas de fruta, madera o carbón. Es increible como pueden con el peso y además mantener el equilibrio. Además son zonas algo montañosas donde abundan las cuestas empinadas, están a casi dos mil metros de altura y llevan bicis más que rudimentarias. A eso hay que añadirle el peligro permanente de las carreteras kenyatas y sus camiones circulando demasiado rápido. Estos son atletas!, y no los que corren el Tour de Francia…

A BRILLIANT 62 from opening batsman Morris Ouma, coupled with a patient 24 from captain Thomas Odoyo, handed Kenya a thrilling two-wicket win over Sri Lanka A in the tri-series match at the Nairobi Gymkhana overnight. Medium-pacer Peter Ongondo had earlier restricted Sri Lanka to 194, taking five wickets to bundle out the tourist in 48 overs. Ongondo picked up the first three wickets in his opening spell, and later returned to take two more after Sri Lanka was sent in to bat after losing the toss. But it was the outstanding performance of Ouma which laid the base for Kenya's victory. He put on 87 for the third wicket with Tanmay Mishra after the host lost two successive wickets in the seventh over. Fellow opener David Obuya made only seven and Nehemiah Odhiambo was out for a duck, with Chanaka Welegedara claiming both wickets to leave the home side 2-14. Ouma's 50 came off 52 balls including eight boundaries and a six. Odoyo took a cautious approach in hitting the winning runs,
Several Tour companies said visitors are frequently complaining of lack of glaciers on Africa's second largest mountain, a stark contrast to the captivating visual impression found in books, travel magazines and documentaries. The glaciers are large, slow moving rivers of ice, formed from compacted layers of snow, which slowly deforms and flows in response to gravity. According to one of the scientists working with UNEP, Mr Christian Lambrechts, Mt Kenya has lost 80 percent of the glaciers and snow cover over the last 10 years.

As we first headed into the bush we saw the dwellings of the Maasai people. Despite being the most well-known, the Maasai are actually only a minor tribe in Kenya – there are many others much larger. But their distinctive dress and customs, and their close proximity to many of the big game parks, have made them the most familiar to tourists, and they are a strong presence during our trip.
