Kenya violence

 

Anthony in Eldoret hospital

Hundreds of people have been killed in Kenya's post election violence and there are fears that it will get worse. Claims of a rigged poll sparked off a violent reaction by supporters of opposition candidate, Raila Odinga, against President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe.

The violence, which began in Kenya's Rift Valley region, has now spread to Nairobi and other urban centres. The tit for tat tribal killings have been particularly bad in the western town of Eldoret from where Pascale Harter reports for Assignment.

She speaks to Anthony whose family suffered terribly in one incident when a church was burned to the ground outside the town. She goes back with Anthony to his village to see if his house is still standing and she goes in search of the perpetrators of the church burning to ask them if they feel remorse.
