No, the situation will only get worse. This is a very blood thirsty people ..

It would help if you were to print all my comment on Tuesday 26th I did go on to say that our boys and girl who go and help get turned on by the very people that they are there to help and then end up died

Yep Amy all valid points especially about housing in Kibera. The Hummer, well yes a present but morally representing that many people in a constituency with that level of poverty come on, could you drive around with that on your concience! And totally and utterly support your point re: aid agencies.

i didn't actually watch this report on kenya's strife but the other two ,i did, just wanted to express my gratitude to sbs for having excellent news and REAL journalism unlike the other channels

Aaron Lewis's Kenyan coverage on 27th Feb. '08 was very disappointing. He seems to have gone to Alfred Mutua early on in his investigating, and Mutua's totally-for-Kibaki spin stuffed up the objectivity of the entire rest of the coverage. For cryin' out loud go speak to some ordinary non-Kikuyu Kenyans and get some BALANCED eyewitness evaluation of Kenya.

As a journalist I am disappointed that a program as distinguished as Dateline could broadcast such a trite, skewed story. I spent 3 months in Kenya leading up to the elections researching slum gangs and I am familiar how tempting it is for a journalist, particularly a young one such as Aaron to misrepresent the facts in order to ‘sex up’ a story in a high drama location. I am no supporter of Kenyan politics or its politicians but both Odinga and Kibaki, their political parties, and Kenya deserve a fair and objective voice to tell their story exclusive of the cheaper techniques of journalism used to manoeuvre the audience. From some of the comments I have read it appears Dateline’s audience is better informed.

yes exactly Miriam it is TOTALLY about leadership, nothing else. Men, money, power and ego is what is and has always held kenya back. To escape from the violence, well that will only come when we take a serious look at the patriarchal nature of Kenyan society, emotional intelligence and the example the leaders are setting. If Kenya's leaders from both parties continue to blatantly reward themselves from money meant for millions and continue to lack empathy then we will unfortunately still see violence from a destructive yet influential minority as the only way forward. Mind you this is all whilst the supposed leaders look on and don't condemn it
