VOICES FROM THE FIELDTHE IRC BLOG
Kenyans vote … and wait
“The violence of 2007 and 2008 was the worst,” says peace activist Simon Muchiri, 50, remembering the disputed presidential elections that tore Kenyan communities apart. He says he believes peace building over the past five years has encouraged co-existence, and he is hopeful local people will have more voice in government.
Filled with hope and trepidation, a record number of Kenyans went to the polls yesterday to vote for a new president. The last time Kenyans cast their ballots for president — back in December 2007 — the result was disputed and violence erupted across the country. In the chaotic weeks that followed, 1,500 people lost their lives and more than half a million were displaced from their homes. Many women and girls were attacked and sexually assaulted.
