    Captioning a blog post “Suicide Bomber In Nairobi” leaves little room for intepretation

  • Expecting the government of Kenya to share information with the Kenyan public is completely unrealistic. As I said where is the press conference on the Mathare crisis, the Mount Elgon crisis? How long are you prepared to wait? As bloggers we expect our readers to read the post, not just the title.
