Kenyan military helicopters swooped over machete-wielding crowds terrorizing hundreds of refugees in a lakeside town on Tuesday against a backdrop of spiraling violence in the east African country.

a mob of about 600 people brandishing machetes and clubs at members of another tribe.
It's a horrible situation. As a martial artist, though, it brings home the reality that a sword attack is still something that occurs in real life. If one was caught in Kenya it might not be possible to get more shotgun shells this far into the outbreak of violence, but one might still have a sword for self-defense--possibly, your group against another.
