On the northern tip of another of Mombasa's deserted beaches, Masai tribesmen with glittering bracelets draped on their arms unsuccessfully tried to hawk their jewelry to the rare visitor passing by. Curio sellers bemoaned their lack of customers. "We regret that we ever had elections," says Joseph Mutie, stretched out under racks of kaleidoscopic cloths billowing in the wind.
