I received two text messages from the government of Kenya today. Both basically saying that sending messages that might incite violence or partaking in illegal rallies might result in prosecution. They sent these messages out en masse to users of my mobile phone network, but not to Stephen's.
We finally heard something from the American Embassy via e-mail. They were cautious but not too concerned in our opinion. Basically, stay home, avoid downtown, etc.
And for the last hour, we could hear a crowd shouting and moving it's way downtown for the rally this afternoon. Someone had a megaphone and was leading the crowd in some sort of chant/song for the opposition party. They have moved off now so it is quiet once again.
