Peace in Kenya still Elusive

As a travel blogger i rarely like to deviate from the topic but the political situation in Kenya cannot allow me to continue on the normal topic. After the arrival of Koffi Annan and the two opponents in Kenya President Kibaki and Mr. Raila Odinga there would be peace but it seams it is very elusive fresh skirmishes have erupted once again this time word has it that it is a revenge mission for those who were attacked during the initial post election violence. This is only on certain areas and as i see the pictures on TV i do not believe i still live in the same country. In the capital city where i live things have more or less settled but nothing is the same anymore. The travel industry has gone to the dogs. I had never imagined that in such a short span of time our hotels, game parks , and other tourist attractions would be empty. If only people would realize that there are looming longterm problems to all this, such as shortage of food. Please Kenya stop the fighting, how long can we go on like this?
