add to cart   close window

The article discusses the power grab in Kenya that saw opposition leader Raila Odinga of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) running ahead of President Mwai Kibaki in four of the six polls leading up to their election. When Kibaki was declared the winner, journalists suspected the election was rigged, and tribal violence broke out. Many fear that a civil war between the Gikuyu and Luo tribes will result.
