A special delegation organized by UUSC arrived in Kenya on Sunday, January 20, to learn firsthand the extent and root causes of the political and humanitarian crisis that has engulfed the country in the aftermath of the flawed presidential election in late December.

The delegation consists of UUSC President Charlie Clements (pictured at right); Atema Eclai, UUSC’s program director and a native Kenyan; and Rev. Rosemary Bray McNatt, a UU minister and founder of the UU Trauma Response Ministry. They are meeting with our grassroots partners, colleague organizations, and community leaders to assess the impact of the crisis on the lives and livelihoods of ordinary Kenyans and to analyze what steps are needed to achieve a peaceful settlement consistent with democratic principles.
