PEACE DEAL REACHED!

It is heartening to know that the two leaders in Kenya, President Mwai Kibaki, and Prime-Minister designate Raila Odinga have come to a power-sharing agreement. This is what all Kenyans have been waiting for with bated breaths. For two months millions of Kenyans have suffered and agonized over the future of their beloved country. Many have lost their lives and thousands of others been driven from their homes. Now that the peace deal has been struck it is the hope of all Kenyan people that life will return to normal and that they can have time to rebuild their lives.

There is still however, a long road ahead. All the animosity and hatred that has been stirred these past two months need to be purged. People need to be reconciled once again with one another and true peace restored to neighborhoods and communities across the nation. I am optimistic that the Kenyan people will embrace this opportunity to lead the nation to greater heights of understanding and prosperity.
