French TV Report with Luke Kibet from Kenya’s Rift Valley

French television has produced an 11 minute report on the situation facing athletes in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. The report features world marathon champion Luke Kibet, and one of Lucas Sang’s brothers (Sang, an Olympian, was killed by a mob). There is extensive footage of athletes in training. Kibet allows the cameras to enter his home where he shows that he’s well-armed in case of attack.

Yes, the report is in French, but it’s worth a look even if you don’t speak French, especially if you’ve never been to this part of the world. Thanks to Carole Fuchs for bringing this to our attention.
