There is no need to worry about the war in Kenya.


Kenyan president in 2017 elections and by-elections took place. 

Kenya was then a threatening picture of an excited crowd of people burning tires on the streets and soldiers carrying guns.

 It has brought back innocent tourists who dream of meeting Timon and Pumba in Kenya. Fortunately, the confusion was settled soon after.




Uhuru Kenyatta, who reelected as president is leading managed to get along on the regime.


However, the violence that happened during the election season seems to have caused quite a stir.

We often see people who think Kenya is still in danger. 

Of course you have to watch out for pickpockets and thieves in Nairobi, but it's not worth worrying about war. 

Basically, if you prepare carefully, there is no problem.
In particular, it is highly unlikely that a prolonged civil war will occur.



It would be helpful if someone was traveling in Kenya and was concerned about getting involved in terrible things like the Colombian Mafia gun battles and the Rwanda genocide.








1. War requires conflict and justification



War requires serious conflict to break out. 

While the rival factions of religion, ideology, and ethnicity are at odds, they each have their own cause and finally the war begins. 

Conflict-causing elements and plausible arguments are needed. 



But there is no such thing in Kenya.

The people of Kenya are flexible about other religions and ideologies so there are no conflicts there.

 Conflicts between the tribes may be a major cause, but even that would not be interesting if it were not for the election season. 


Kenya is a multicultural country with about 50 ethnic groups, but it hardly discriminates against people from other tribes. 


They grow up receiving education from family and elementary schools to prevent discrimination between tribes. 


There is no serious problem in Kenya that makes people want to play sides.



During election years, there may be conflicts between the ruling party's supporters and the opposition's supporters.

But it is a temporary disturbance, not a war. 






2. War takes place under the auspices of the powerful nation.



War doesn't just happen. It takes place under the auspices of the major powers.


When the civil war broke out in Rwanda, the superpowers gave no special attention to the small, useless land.



Eventually, the Rwanda civil war went to madness in the hands of police countries and could not stop itself after, as everyone knew, giving birth to a million victims of the massacre.



But Kenya is in many ways different from Rwanda. 

Kenya is the leading country in East Africa.




Kenya is one of the top five countries the United States is providing aid to.


China is making massive investments to build its Kenyan infrastructure. 


Huge numbers of Russian tourists visit Kenya during the holiday season.



Kenya also has the United Nations Headquarters, the symbol of world peace. 



The superpowers do not want war to break out in Kenya, where they are investing hard.





The United States and the world do not want Kenya, one of the few model countries in Africa, to fall into chaos. 


If there are signs of a civil war, it will be suppressed in advance.





And he doesn't want to get into trouble in Kenya during his term.












3. War takes place in resource-rich areas.


Civil War mainly occurs in resource-rich countries. 


The civil war does not stop in the oil-rich Nigerian, rare underground democracies of Congo.

Violent forces dominate the resource production area and continue to fight the war on the benefits that occur there.



The forces continue to fight each other for resources as they gain massive wealth from the mine and oil fields.


 It is a tragedy that is dependent on resources.


There are not many such rich resources in Kenya. 


Kenya is a country that has eaten tourism based on the beautiful nature and wildlife rather than underground resources. 

War is the most stupid choice to damage Kenya's natural resources. 

Even during chaotic times when foreigners are aware of their important concerns, the mob rarely touches foreign tourists. 

Even during the worst riots in history in 2007, no foreign tourists were injured.



  



4. Kenya People Want Peace

The people of Kenya have fallen into a post-war slump that has continued throughout the past year.

They hope to concentrate their livelihood on the stable security rather than paying attention to the politicians ' unjustified persistence. 


No people in Kenya want to cause serious problems like war. 
No matter who you meet and talk with, you are told to quit.
