Scenes
from Kenya
Kenya remains one of Africa's most developed countries,
but has been dealt several setbacks in the past few years. Political and tribal
conflicts, unstable neighbors (Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia), and a crushing
drought last year have left much of Kenya on hold, trying to regain recent
momentum. The tourist trade has begun to pick up, nearly returning to the
record levels - $810 million dollars earned in 2009. Several government plans
are in motion to retain and rebuild the economy, including a massive translocation
project to move zebras and wildebeest into lion territory - hopefully
alleviating lion attacks on livestock in the drought-affected area. Collected
here are a handful of recent photographs from Kenya.
