		<description><![CDATA[In Kenya, violence abounds, as do analyses of its causes and consequences. One quick way of dividing opinion on the matter is to ask four questions: (i) Was the violence planned? (ii) Was it &#8216;ethnic&#8217;? (iii) Was there ethnic cleansing? (iv) Was it &#8216;political&#8217;? 
We aren’t short of people who will answer no to all [...]]]></description>

Kibaki, in effect, has said:
… Look. We Kikuyus endured twenty-four years of that Kalenjin man’s rule, and were regularly rigged out.  We knew it, and so did you.  We, unlike our violent Luo [...]]]></description>

Growing up in Kenya in the eighties, there were certain things we children took
for granted. Kenya for instance. 
Unlike our parents who were born into the British Empire and who watched the
uncertain birth of the country and for whom the country was a continuous experiment
with the ever present possibility of failure, a fragile [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By STEPHEN PARTINGTON
When peace erupted, none of us was ready.
You remember how the sticks above our heads
were gently lowered, how our riot gear
was sloughed-off like a skin?  We rubbed our chins.
    And yet, the dead, they didn&#8217;t rise.
Do you recall the day the grandmas of the Rift
embraced the grandsons of Nyeri,
when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By KALUNDI SERUMAGA
Poverty is the worst form of violence. At its own worst, it is a form of slow genocide. For an example, take the fact that the vast majority of the Native Americans “rubbed out” in the American genocide died (and still die) not from settler bullets, but from poor diets, disease, poor-on-poor crime, [...]]]></description>

The chaos in the peaceful country Kenya has sent everyone blaming fingers on everyone else. The media in particular has been at the forefront of throwing accusations at the Electoral Commision Chairman Samuel Kivuitu for ‘irregulaties’ during elections, the President, Mwai Kibaki for ‘stealing votes’, and some accusing Raila Odinga of being nothing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By MARTIN KIMANI
It is Friday, December 4. I walk through the lobby of the Serena Hotel in Nairobi. Packs of politicians and their entourages hurry past. Most have mobile phones into which they whisper urgently. They brush shoulders with white men and women lugging large cameras, trying to arrange for taxis to take them to [...]]]></description>

A few kilometers south of Burnt Forest, the ruins of a village called Kondo were visible from the highway. A group of six young men were picking through the ashes as we drove past; we stopped and climbed the small rise to join them.
They greeted us with open smiles, arms around each other’s [...]]]></description>
