"Ethnic Cleansing" in Kenya

For those who don't know me well, H is from Kenya (a country with 43 different ethnic groups*). His family members are OK, but his uncles all lost their businesses in Western Kenya (they were burned down).

Seeds of genocide were sown a decade ago by Moi

That was the scene in Kenya last week. It has happened before, not just in Rwanda but a decade ago in Kenya. And there is very little time to act before Kenya's tribal tensions explode into more widespread massacres. It is no surprise, or accident, that up to 50 Kikuyu were murdered in the western city of Eldoret last week in revenge for alleged rigging of the elections by the Kikuyu President Mwai Kibaki over Christmas.

*They generally do not use the term "tribe" as it is considered derogatory by some Kenyans.
