I was born in Kenya and spent eight years of my life In Mombasa besides my father was more "Kenyan" than "Indian" having spent 27 years of his life in Mombasa and more fluent in "swahili" than "Hindi".My father expired recently as also my mother and i am sure dad would have been surprised at the violence in this "African Paradise" of work and enjoyment. I, personally had been to Mombasa in 1988 and couldn't decipher any hidden illfillings among the locals or indians since i mixed freely with them in discotheques and had casual conversation.No African robbed me, neither was i "Foreigner charged", hence this sudden burst of ethnic violence is hard to comprehend.
