Un avis parmi d'autres...

Commentaire sur Maralal, paru sur le Net ...

Pour le partage de la lecture, sans autre jugement....


Maralal was an odd little town, nice in some ways but not so nice in others. It has become a gathering and settling place for what are usually nomadic people that inhabit this area, completely changing their culture. More on this is a while. We changed money at the bank which took about 1 hr, then went to a small restaurant to eat and write an earlier diary entry. Then three dirty dusty white people on motorbikes came into the restaurant, one German guy and a Swiss woman and man.

I walked around the town of Maralal and took some pictures paying 20 KSH for each picture of the tribes people that now congregate around Maralal. There is a mission in town that hands out food for free so the nomadic people flock to town to pick up the free food. They have become dependent and reliant on these handouts and many no longer make provisions to feed themselves as its much easier to receive the handouts. I watched over a period of an hour as more people gathered outside the mission in anticipation of when the doors were opened at 3 o'clock. It was actually sad to see as they pushed and shoved each other, both old and young people, some people were drunk, as they barged through the doors.
