Bullets on the way to ballots

The post-poll violence in Kenya is nothing but pure political greed
It seems ice has finally started to melt in Nairobi. After unsuccessful attempts by Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General & African Union Chairman, John Kufuor, to broker peace, EU Commissioner Louis Michel has finally persuaded President Kibaki to meet Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader, Raila Odinga, soon. The high profile delegation also announced that it would await the outcome of dialogue between President Kibaki & the ODM leader before deciding its future course of action. Meanwhile, Michel said as a friend of Kenya, the European Union (EU) was optimistic that the present political state of affairs would be resolved through political dialogue. Meanwhile, Peter Anyang Nyong’o, ODM Secretary General said that ODM & its partisans would continue their peaceful passive resistance until the Kibaki Government shows that it wants dialogue to resolve the crisis. He also accused Kenyan police of killing many demonstrators in several cities by using live ammunition.

Reacting to the present state of affairs in Kenya, noted Kenyan expert, Jacqueline M. Klopp, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University told B&E, “All these advocates of violence have lived with complete impunity. They have learned that they could preach hate, organise youth to kill & displace, and be rewarded with a cabinet post. They could get rid of voters who were unlikely to support them. They could use violence for bargaining power at the national level.” The violence has mottled Kenya’s reflection as a stable nation in a disturbed region, diluted its democratic credentials and exposed the fundamental tribal outlook behind its politics.
