Violence In Kenya Over Kibaki's Re-Election

Sunday, December 30, 2007

CNN is reporting that the Kenyan government has suspended all live broadcasting in the wake of the violence that has swept the nation since Mwai Kibaki's was pronounced the president yet again with narrowest election margin in the nation's history. Kibaki's opponent, Raila Odinga, has accused the government of "doctoring" the results.

It's a scandal that the government has suspended the right of the media to record historic events. Fortunately, we live in an age when our even mobile phones have cameras and hopefully this technology will prevent the stifling of the voice of the Kenyan people.
