Hello Steemians,
My name is Brian from Kenya a country in Eastern part of Africa. My country is vastly known various things such as athletics, the maasai community, the famous Mt.Kenya, wildlife among many things.

We know that everything has both a positive and a negative side of it. Kenya is currently facing constitutional crisis after the 8th August 2017 elections were nullified by the Kenyan supreme court. This has had adverse effects on many aspects such as the economy. However there is still hope since another presidential election date has been set for the 26th of October 2017. I ask that you pray for my country so that we may not go into a post election violence which happened during the 2007 elections which claimed the lives of many people and rendered many homeless.

Below are sample pictures of the POS that occurred during 2007. I cannot post some pictures due to their graphic nature but you can check them out on this blog (http://www.warshooter.com/en/content/kenya-post-election-violence-0)

GOD BLESS KENYA!!!
