Love blooms in strife-torn Kenya

Kenya's government and opposition are entering a third week of talks.

A deal is being arranged to end the political turmoil and violence sparked by December's disputed election.

Many industries, including flower farms have been affected because of their multi-ethnic workforce.

John Cookson reports.

our leaders are the problem, not the people. I had never imagined that kenyans can actually rise against one another. We are not rich, but we have everything....too much love, too much food and even fruits i've never seen in the US. Anyway, i think strife is a process in democracy....the media only focuses too much on the problems we have. All the big businesses, beautiful cities, extensive economic opportunities are never shown...it's all too deliberate!!!

Actually you CAN eat roses, they are high in Vitaman C, among other things. I wouldn't eat them if they have pesticides on them though.

The Kenyan rose industry is a neo-colonial+ neoliberal phenomenon, because the vast majority of the farms and processing centers are owned by foreigners or citizens of Kenya of European or Asian descent. It is an export crop, especially for "European lovers" on v-day. It is a cash crop only. One can't eat them. Thus it is part of the problem, when it comes to issues of food security, economic autonomy and self-reliance, or sustainability. Whether or not it thrives, we quarrel in our own poverty

Interesting, I didn't know that roses were a major industry in Kenya.
