Kenyans clash over election results - 03 Jan 08

Riot police have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters on the streets of Kenya's capital, Nairobi. The rally has been organised by opposition leader Raila Odinga to protest against the controversial re-election of President Mwai Kibaki. Odinga hopes to attract a million supporters to the rally, which has been banned by the government. As Bernard Smith reports for Al Jazeera, the streets of Nairobi are extremely tense, with fears of violent clashes between protesters and police. Additional reporting comes from Al Jazeera's correspondent Mohammed Adow who was with the protestors in central Nairobi when they clashed with riot police.

Yeah it was not great when there was European rule over this African Nations, but now that the British have left, why are the African tribes KILLING each other there is genocide going on in Sudan, Darfur all over Africa. Black on black killing, rape, etc. they are not acting very civilized.

You mean NATION MEDIA do not want the public to see how Kikuyu are killing other tribes? They want Kikuyus to be seen angels? No way. Kikuyu are killers just like the ones who killed people in a church. we so Eldoret church killings. why not show us Naivasha killings which are done by Kikuyus? SHAME ON YOU NATION MEDIA. Talking about Kenya East Africa. People are killing each other cause Kibaki rigged election.

Most of the individual wo are comitting those murders are probably dumd idiots who spent their entire lives hurding cows, and they have no idea how far the rest of the world has progresed.If they have seen on television how far the rest of the world has progressed, they will be more concerned with learning how to exploit their natural resurces than spend their lives murdering each other.The chinese are ready to exploit what you have while you are bussy murdering one another.

do you even know anything about south african history? how would you like to be referred to as a 'second class' citizen with no rights, dumped into the poorest areas, and treated like shit. coz that's how it was when south africa was run by white people. it was good, yes, but only for the whites, and on the back of the blacks who were slaving in the mines and fields. buy a history book.
