Following a disputed election on December 27, more than 650 have been killed in politically-motivated ethnic violence in Kenya.

More than 250,000 people have been displaced in a country that is more used to receiving refugees from war-torn neighbours like Sudan and Somalia.

Al Jazeera speaks to Nelson Munyao, a displaced Kenyan living in Nairobi, Kenya's capital.

  • What a stupid comment dazenman. You should consider yourself lucky that you were born where you are - not by your merit, but by luck. We are not on this earth to gloat that we have it better, but to help each other and share our blessings with the less fortunate!

  • is this the price we as citizens pay for democracy

  • worse in Sudan now a days

  • It is very sad. Well done AJ for another piece of great reporting and i hope that in some small way it speeds up change.

  • Well said, sruckoldt.

  • What a sad situation indeed! The poor and the weak get marginalized and get thrown into abject poverty to become even poorer, while the rich get filthy rich and richer, daily! Thank you AlJazeera and Youtube for giving voice to the displaced poor. How sad? The poor Kenyan boy's dream to become a doctor has been completely shattered!

  • It's the natural way, unfortunately. That's part of what makes them the less fortunate. However, the plus side is that the oppressors will meet their own demise, some how and some way. They will be judged and dealt with.

  • It's unfortunate that the innocent must carry the largest toll due to the conflicts. It's never the dictators who suffer; it's always the innocent men, women and children who have to pay for the ignorance and atrocities commited by so-called "good" and "decent" people.

  • You're about as ignorant as they come Dazenman
