This is one of the biggest lies told in Kenya's history!

The violence of 2007/2008 was caused by flawed elections?

Talk to people in Eldoret they'll tell you there was open hostility months before the elections.Infact, a buddy called me on the 28th when ODM was leading and told me that Kikuyus were being taunted and told to leave

I watched Jullie Gichuru's Fist to Five program sometime back when she visited Mumias and tried to get to the bottom of the 2008 issue.

At first there was the issue of the election then the TRUTH came out:It was all about wakikuyu walichukua mashamba yetu,wanatunyanyasa,wanatudharau,wana maringo etc.This is what they discussed 80% of the seession.(Louis did a similar one with similar results in some other western Kenya town)

I still don't understand how ODM expected me to believe that some people were so angry that they raped!!

CRAP!!! The PEV was prearranged. Irrespective of how the election turned out, the PEV was to happen!!! In some areas people had already been warned in advance. Actually the politicians [some] were using phrases like "They took our land...", "We have to take our land back", "How many of you have land in...? And why do they have land in our place?" etc.

Wacha trials zianze. The truth will shock you. A cabinet minister from Rift Valley [Kshs. 5/= to anyone who can guess who it is] was offering 50m to an ICC witness who has a video recording of him in a meeting that was discussing the purchase of weapons to be used in the PEV]. The witness rejected the money - we will definitely watch the video 'mwakani'. Things are elephant.

@extrablessed - I know you are almost being lynched but I have to agree with you on this one. Kibaki totally let Kenyans down!!! He seemed helpless and clueless. He should have crashed this thing the first day houses were burned. And I mean CRUSH in capital letters. Everyone who involved himself in any criminal activity - murder, arson, rape, looting etc. - should have been dealt with using brute force the first day. I'm telling you one would have to be mad to try the same on the second day. This should have been done irrespective of tribe, political affiliation, clan etc. etc. Moi would not have entertained such nonsense when he was president. The PEV would have lasted only a few hours - in isolated areas! With Kibaki it seemed like the end of Kenya as we know it. There was this clip - live on K24 [I think] - of a guy being chased by a mob, he falls and the crowd set on him with everything in sight. After they were satisfied, they walk away to look for another victim. One fellow probably imagining the victim was not 'dead enough' walks back to the victim picks the biggest stone possible and with all force he could master drops the stone straight on his head!!! I thought the world was coming to an end!

Having said that, I will NEVER support the actions of Mungiki, Sungu Sungu, Taliban, sijui mt. Elgon Patriotic crap or any other militia group.

We should never discriminate an individual let alone kill, maim, rape or destroy their property based on their tribe or political views. Actually, based on ANYTHING!!! No one has any more [or less] right to be a Kenyan. All Kenyans are equal - with one share each of this great country of OURS.

@jk2010x,

What jeff says in that clip is just a basic truth. When you are attacked dont you have the right to self defense? People were being attacked on the basis of their tribes, they had to retaliate on the same basis. Its not rocket science, unless you expected a whole community to turn the other cheek.

i watched this story the day it aired and i couldnt beieve what i was hearing.. i thought i was the only one but it looks like many share my sentiments...

how can one justify the unjust killing of anyone??? no matter the reason there is no justification
