Kenya's Deputy President Ruto campaigns for 'Hustler Nation'

By Emmanuel Onyango, BBC News, Nairobi, 19 hours ago

From pushing wheelbarrows to making much of the fact that he was a chicken seller in his youth, Kenya's Deputy President William Ruto is increasingly framing next year's general election as a contest between "hustlers" and "dynasties".

In Kenya, hustlers refer to those - especially young people - who struggle to make ends meet in an economy that is said to be no longer working for them.

The word dynasties, on the other hand, is a moniker to describe wealthy families that are seen to have dominated politics - and the economy - since independence from the UK in the 1960s [....]

Here's a good picture from NYTimes.com which suggests what that means up close & personal

an important part from the NYTimes article which reminds there is no real government right now:

....the destruction of churches across the southern peninsula may be the biggest blow to longer term support for Haitians in the affected area.

For many Haitians, their only source of aid throughout their lives, in the absence of strong government institutions, has been the church. Many were in ruins after Saturday’s earthquake, leaving entire towns and at least one city without a church left standing.

“Our church is destroyed and many churches in and around Les Cayes are destroyed but we have faith and we know that as long as people are still here, we can build back our community,” said Rev. Yves Joel Jacqueline, 44, who works at Les Cayes’ cathedral with Haiti’s cardinal, appointed by the Vatican.

“In Les Cayes, we are the only thing here. There is no support from the government,” he added.

The heavy concrete rooftops and domes of churches across the southern peninsula are now caved in, tabernacles crooked or buried under rubble, walls marbled with deep cracks. Every church seen by reporters from The New York Times in a 25-kilometer drive in and around Les Cayes on Sunday was completely destroyed, with the over 100 year-old cathedral in the city of Jeremie, an architectural landmark, left in ruins.

Father Jacqueline stood atop the rubble of his church and leaned on a gnarled set of red and white radio towers that collapsed at the building’s entrance, printouts of a past Christmas program strewn across the ground.

The priest had shared the residence with the Archbishop of Les Cayes and Haiti’s cardinal. All three men escaped the building as they were having breakfast, but a disabled priest who was eating with them and two women who tend to the residence were killed.....
