Ethnic Cleansing in Kenya?

"'Tribal violence spirals in Kenya,' screams the front page banner in the International Herald Tribune. 'Kenya plunges into interethnic violence,' says Le Monde.

...But headlines can be misleading...

A more complete headline might be: 'Tribal differences in Kenya, normally accepted peacefully, are exploited by politicians hungry for power who can manipulate poverty-stricken population.'"

Taken from BBC article
"Kenya stokes tribalism debate"

I have been meaning to post this article i found on BBC (January 4, 2008). I hope that it may help shed light on many questions arising from the violent conflict currently taking place in Kenya.
