The world, I bet, has not forgotten gory scenes of death and destruction that Kenya witnessed early this year over a disputed presidential election. And the world should not forget that dark chapter of Kenyan history because the perpetrators of that mayhem have not been brought to book.
A whopping 1,200 innocent people lost their lives within a period of one month. Goons recruited and bankrolled by politicians, some now serving in the coalition government of President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, systematically decimated whole families. In one incident in Western Kenya, marauding thugs, believed to be supporters of Prime Minister Raila Odinga and Agriculture Minister William Ruto, soaked a church where members of the populous Kikuyu community were cowering with petrol and set it ablaze. About fifty mostly women and children perished in that most bestial attack.
In a retaliatory attack, a gang reportedly propped up by President Kibaki's core supporters -some of them are serving in the cabinet - invaded a poor neighborhood, mostly inhabited by Mr. Odinga's supporters, barricaded their houses and then set them ablaze. A dozen lives perished in broad daylight.
These two atrocities and others not reported in this article, and the brutal uprooting of half a million Kenyans from their homes in different part of the country were what jolted the international community to swing into action to save Kenya from turning into a banana republic.

It’s October 30th. Somebody make with the bleepin’ surprise already.
i’ve been waiting for the same thing.
I sent Them all the story of the FBI informant on Bill AYRES and O'Rieley had him on tonight. HE NEVER MENTIONED THAT AYRES TOLD HIM HE WOULD EXECUTE 25 MILLION AMERICANS THAT WOULDN'T BE RE EDUCATED!! How could you just skip that in the interview?? Half the people out there just think Ayres is a draft dodger or burned his draft card. It's like Kerry last go round. I tried to get anyone to read Kerry's FBI file that proved he was there when they voted to kill 7 Senators. Nobody cared. I wrote 15 times to tell them to just do the math. He joined the Navy in 1966 for a 6 year tour. His discharge was dated 1978. What was his discharge in 1972?? I would bet the farm is wasn't honorable. The one in 1978 was a Carter draft dodger fake. Nobody cares, he's re elected, and still a "hero".
I need my own channel.
