Kenya crisis over a disputed vote: The electoral commission had named President Mwai Kibaki winner of the 12/27 vote, even though his party was heavily defeated in the parliamentary election. Rival Raila Odinga alleged fraud. The result stirred tribal rivalries and provoked bloody protests across the country, leaving more than 1,000 dead.
The election violence had a tribal undertone in the slums, where youths shouted ethnic slurs. Tribal allegiances have always been a factor in elections in Kenya, where there are more than 40 tribes, and where candidates on the campaign trail are not above appealing to tribe in subtle as well as direct ways.
