Nairobi : The Kenyan Red Cross informed on Tuesday that the post electoral violence in that country has killed 1,000 people and displaced 304,000.
The figure involves people who died during last weekend’s clashes, and the displaced statistics could increase since those of the last few days have not been counted, explained the organization’s spokesman Tony Mwangi.
December’s elections prompted a political crisis considered by analysts the most severe of the history of this African nation since its independence from Great Britain in 1963
The supporters of Raila Odinga, Chief of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) protested Kibabi’s victory and accused him of committing fraud.
Disagreeing with the results, the opponents went to the streets to protest amid clashes with security forces that turned the march into a bloodbath.
The Kenyan conflict, considered the most ardent of the continent at present, was analyzed by the African Union Summit late last week in its headquarters in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia.
