Kenya – Post-Election Violence
There were violent clashes in Kenya between supporters of Raila Odinga, the unlucky presidential candidate from the Luo ethnic group, and supporters of the re-elected president, Mwai Kibaki, who had been accused of rigging the election and taking land for members of his own Kikuyu tribe. This revolution had not been a matter of waving flowers and scarves, but of wielding machetes and clubs. Politicians had played on age-old ethnic tensions in a bid to gain votes and apparently found a way of dividing up what was at stake. Then tourists came back and their tour operators had no problem getting onto the roads that bypass the shantytowns.
