"'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.
