The body of a man who was reportedly shot by police is watched by a crowd in
the central Kenyan town of Nakuru 26 January 2008. What started as post-election
riots rapidl
y descended into settling of tribal vendettas, with marauding gangs
armed with machetes, metals bars, bows and arrows stalking parts of the west of
