KENYA, FEB.2008 After a questionable election, Kenya plunged into violence. With over 1,500 dead, and 500,000 displaced, its the worst violence Kenya has seen in decades. This violence seems more like ethnic cleansing than political. In the slums of Kibera, angery mobs of "protesters" rally through the streets searching for kikuyu tribe members, and taunting police. In Kibera Line Saba, to control the mobs police turn to tear gas and live rounds. In smaller cities, like Nakuru, what kikuyu are left alive are trapped at make shift IDP camps.
