Pray for Peace in Kenya

2007 post-election violence and rioting in Kisumu after the contested presidential elections

Tomorrow, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is releasing its ruling on whether enough evidence exists to try in court six prominent Kenyans, the "Ocampo Six", charged with inciting riots following Kenya's 2007 presidential elections.  The Kenyan government is beefing up security around the country due to concerns that further violence might erupt  following the court's ruling.  Those in favor of the defendants might riot if the ICC proceeds with the trial, and those against the defendants might riot if the ICC decides there's not enough evidence for a full trial.  We're heading to the grocery store this afternoon to stock up on groceries . . . kinda like when you're expecting snow in the south (Ha!).

Here's an excellent article that sums up all of the possibilities of the Ocampo Six Ruling:  http://www.brookings.edu/opinions/2012/0120_kenya_politics_prospects_kimenyi_kamau.aspx

Please pray for peace in Kenya tomorow (and in the following days and weeks)!!!
