rs. We are splitting up the different groups of refugees for the food distribution; today we invited 250 living in private homes in Kasambara. They also told us that they do not want to go back. The repatriation of the population is a mere dream of the Government. The reality is different. They people even prefer to sell their property at home and buy a little hut here. Many also don't think that the next elections will bring any change. Since the 1990s people were displaced after elections. - Late afternoon our crew member Fundi got bad news: one of his relatives died and he asked for permission to see her a last time tomorrow. The details of the funeral are not yet fixed. Usually in Kenya the dead are brought to their birth place, which also cost some money and many do not have enough, so the dead people sometimes stay in the mortuary for more than a month.
