"Finding an agreement, chiefly because the country is broken down". This was stated by a Fides source about the current crisis of Kenya, about which Kofi Anna, who is acting as a mediator, asked for an agreement to set up an independent committee to investigate the president’s election of December 27th 2007. In the meantime, Kenyan economy is being very heavily affected by the crisis, with long-term consequences. "Unless a way out is immediately found cries out Fides , there will be 2 million unemployed people within six months". Tourism and agriculture are the most affected areas. "In Europe, you worry about the rise in the price of roses for Valentine’s Day reports the Fides source , many of which come from Kenya via Holland. But what about the 50 thousand people who used to work in flowers at Navaisha, Kenya’s capital of roses, who have lost their jobs now? Or their families, who relied on their meagre wages to survive?". Overall, 1 million 200 thousand people working in the local farming sector risk losing their jobs. The workers’ tragedy is aggravated by that of the 600 thousand refugees who have been driven out of their country by the violence of the last few weeks.
