WHERE WERE YOU WHEN IT STARTED....?

And then the winner of the election was announced….
Kenya will never be the same again.
At least not with the violence that has caused so many deaths and displacement in this country.

Stories fit for horror movies are rife. Stories of women and girls gang raped, lost children, relatives tortured to death, others decomposing and stuff that you cannot even imagine.

Diary of those caught in war
December 27,2007
This was a very peaceful day as we voted with no reported incidences.

December 28-29, 2007
Tension began to mount as the electorate waited for the announcement.
Most of us were at home thinking …nothing will happen. We have had elections before and were fine. There has been tension before and yet we were safe. Only this time this tension was too thick too ignore.

December 30 and after
Tension got so thick you could almost slice it with a knife. The big elephant was in our living rooms and no one wanted to discuss it. Suddenly and simultaneously violence erupted in different parts of the country. From then on, it has been untold suffering and great disbelief at what has continued to happen.
The first question you ask everyone that you meet is …
where were you when it started? Because that tells you a whole story.
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF KENYA

Trans World Radio- A friendly voice in Africa

WHO WE ARE

Nairobi, Kamburu Drive, Off Ngong rd, Kenya
Dr. Paul E. Freed founded Trans World Radio (TWR) an international broadcasting Network registered in Kenya in 1952. TWR-Kenya was the second TWR operation in Africa after the station in Swaziland. The Kenyan office and production center was established in 1976 by the late Rev. Stephen Boakye-Yiadom to prepare for the anticipated expansion of the ministry. Listeners in over 160 countries can hear God’s word taught in more than 200 languages and dialects whose impact is truly incredible. Today over 2 million letters, faxes, e-mails and phone messages are received each year. The programs not only cater to the spiritual aspect of man but also critically look at the social, which include women and/in development, children’s circumstances, health including HIV/AIDS/STI, environmental, agricultural, peace and conflict resolution issues among others. TWR-Kenya produces over 32 different program titles with over 60 hours of programming each week. Every week 133 programmes are dispatched from our office to 10 stations in addition to Africa Regional Office and Swaziland. The other stations are in different parts of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzanian.
