Huge water reserve discovered in Kenya
I don't claim to understand African issues very well, so take my comments with the grain of salt that I'm very ignorant.<p>The civil wars that happen in certain African nations are troubling.  But what was more troubling to me was reading news how factions would take control by poisoning wells that provided water for citizens.  It was unthinkable to me that someone could actually do that, especially in certain areas where water was scarce.  Long-term effects seemed to be ignored in favour of short-term war gains.  Having never experienced such a difficult situation, I can't process what kind of motivation and thinking could cause such horrific action.<p>If such water supplies are found in areas where there is conflict, I worry that it only would add to the conflict, as they would be found as key tactical points to conquer and hold.  It makes me sick that such good news brings such negative thoughts to my mind.
