Of climate change and Kenya's rains

Kenya's woes have just increased after a dam burst in Nakuru on Wednesday evening.

The area downstream was densely populated and, as homes were swept away, at least 10 people were killed.

Dozens remain unaccounted for, and 500 families have been affected.

Western Kenya has been particularly badly hit by landslides and floods during this season of the "long rains".
