Kenyan Riot Aftermath (Protesters run from police)


Nairobi, Kenya
January 14, 2008

Protesters run away as riot police chase them in Kibera slums, Saturday, Jan. 5, 2008, as a government statement said Saturday that Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki is ready to form "a government of national unity" to help resolve disputed elections that caused deadly riots. Some 300 people have been killed and around 100,000 made homeless in violent clashes since the recent presidential vote, bringing chaos to this east African nation, and ethnic divisions pitting some tribes against President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu people.
