Kenya Crisis: Echoes Of Rwanda As Victims 'Hacked As They Fled'

Aid agencies have warned of a humanitarian disaster in Kenya as up to 100,000 people have been displaced. According to Kenya's Human Rights Commission, over 300 have been killed. The post election violence has worsened and suggestions of 'ethnic cleansing' by rival tribes plague the country.

In the worst incident, up to 50 ethnic Kikuyus were burned alive as they sheltered in a church in the Rift Valley city of Eldoret.

Eyewitness reports of victims being hacked as they fled echoed those from the Rwandan genocide in 1994, in which more than 500,000 people were killed.

  • Africa will bleed and bleed until the diaspora becomes rule and the continent becomes mixed and first world.

    WalMarts and McDonald's, convienience items. and just plain STUFF in every corner.

    The people will have museums commemorating the traditional tribal lives and life that was lost.

    I won't be alive to see it, but my children's children's, children may. :(

    'AIDS is killing the entire African nation
    And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation
    But these governments they don't mind the procrastination
    They say
    "We'll kill them off,
    take their land
    and go there for vaction."'

    yeah! please don't buy diamonds, they fuel genocide.
