NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya’s major newspapers united on Thursday in an unprecedented joint front-page editorial, pleading: “Save Our Beloved Country.”
Under images of charred shanty towns, distraught villagers and youths burning tyres, all the main dailies appealed to President Mwai Kibaki and his opposition rival Raila Odinga to end the tribal bloodshed threatening to tear Kenya apart.
“Our beloved country, the Republic of Kenya, is a burnt-out, smouldering ruin,” said the statement.
It was published on a day Odinga and backers were protesting Kibaki’s disputed re-election in defiance of a police ban.
TV and radio stations read out the editorial on air.
Both sides have traded claims of ethnic cleansing in a week of violence that has killed 300 people, shocking Kenyans whose nation is normally an oasis of peace in a volatile region.
“In the midst of this, leaders — who are the direct cause of this catastrophe — are issuing half-hearted calls for peace, from the comfort of their hotels and walled homes in Nairobi, whence they are conveyed in bullet-proof limousines,” the editorial said.
“It must be a blind and deaf person who does not hear the cries of the 70,000 people, many of them our children, who are now refugees in their own country,” it added.
Private television channel KTN aired its own similar plea.
“Kenya looks to you to bring it back from the edge of anarchy, from a bloodbath our nation has never witnessed before,” a newscaster read from a statement.
The media’s joint appeal came four days after the government imposed an indefinite ban on live TV and radio broadcasts — condemned by activists as an attempt to muzzle the press, which has become more robust under Kibaki.
