All is not lost, and there are strong reasons to believe that Kenyans will surmount the current political crisis and put the country back on its promising track. Nevertheless, as we sit on the brink of the abyss, it is worth re-examining our assumptions that since poverty breeds conflict, socio-economic development must foster political stability and reduce recourse to violence.
但是希望并没有完全失去，我们有很大的理由相信肯尼亚能够战胜目前的政治危机并且把这个国家重新推回到有希望的轨道上来。然而，当我们处在深渊的边缘时，我们很有必要重新审视我们关于贫穷孕育了冲突，而社会经济的发展必然会促进政治的稳定并且减少了诉诸暴力的想法的臆断。
