^^ RV yelled: ”Ya’ know Kenya Nairobi GFY! I don’t see many Kenyans in Haiti helping!And if you don’t think we give good help, then how about we stop helping you when you’re in it up to your neck next time?”
Interesting reaction from an unexpected quarter.
Gado (a Tanzanian btw) does not represent the Kenyan people as a whole, just a Kenyan viewpoint (or as a Tanzanian in Kenya); just as I don’t think SF on our forum here represents all Americans or Christians (or Portuguese descendents ;-) )
I also do not see any particular nation represented in Gado’s cartoon except Haiti; and it was after the Haitian government who had declared search & rescue efforts over that they dug another guy up.
Have you personally been in Haiti to see just how many Kenyans are there helping or not helping out?
Just a quick search re Kenya, Haiti & reaction to Haiti quake:
Kenya Airways and the Kenya Red Cross Society
Kenyan Aid Worker (of 7) Killed in Haiti Quake
I do think most nations have reacted to the best of their own capability no matter how small or poor themselves.
Interestingly, an Italian humantarian official, who was there, condemned some of the Haiti earthquake relief as a ‘vanity parade’
”Ushahidi crowdsourcing website deployed in Haiti”
”Ushahidi, which means “testimony” in Swahili, is a website that was first developed to map reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election violence in 2007. The website was used to map incidents of violence in the country based on reports submitted via the web and cellphones.Now, Haitians are alerting the world to what’s happening around them.

Always looking for survivors. The clean up process is quite a process.

I await swift rebuttals against Italians next.
