 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Peace graffiti has taken over Nairobi's battered Kibera slum.
"Don't Kill Innocent Kenyans" and "Keep Peace" say slogans painted on the charred walls of shacks and storefronts destroyed by looting mobs — messages from a local artist trying to heal a neighborhood with his paintbrush.
Solomon Muyundo's mission is more complicated than one peace-loving artist against the mobs. He's also trying to atone for his role in the violence — a reconciliation many Kenyans will have to attempt as they work to move on from the devastating knowledge that they are capable of killing each other.
