[Channel 4 News] Violence in Kenya after Political Murder

2008.01.29

By Lucy Manning:

"There have been more outbreaks of communal violence in Kenya today following the murder of a prominent opposition politician.

In Navisha, where many have fled to seek refuge from fighting, military helicopters fired what the police said were rubber bullets on armed crowds in an attempt to stop those attacking refugees.

Earlier a politician from Raila Odinga's opposition party was gunned down outside his home in the capital Nairobi.

Kenyan police have opened a murder investigation, while president Kibaki has called for calm."
