Kenyan Election Upheaval


Lorries carrying the possessions and the people who had been displaced by the violence back to their tribal ancestral homelands The price on the common Mwanainchi common man of the troubles was terrible Approxiametly 1 500 were killed and 25 000 were internally displaced While the peace agreement signed on 28th February 2008 has held to date Kenya continues to face an uncertain political future What is certain though is that the price paid by the Kenyan people because of the upheaval will be felt for many years to come With most regions of Kenya outside the cities now segregated along tribal lines and with little chance of reversing this trend in the foreseeable future it seems the scars left by the events of January 2008 will take a long time to heal The world waits and hopes that Africa does not become the latest victim to be condemned by a very African sickness that of inter tribal conflict
