Recall Parliament to Create Tribunal
President Mwai Kibaki should recall Parliament early - immediately after New Year - to give it enough time to set up a special tribunal to prosecute perpetrators of election violence, Human Rights Watch said in a letter released today. To satisfy the recommendations of the Waki Commission, which investigated the devastating violence after elections a year ago, and to ensure impartial and independent prosecutions consistent with international standards, the constitution should be amended and a sound framework for the special tribunal enacted by January 30, 2009.

Preliminary Response To The Mediation Process In Kenya
The Kenyans for Peace with Truth and Justice (KPTJ) coalition and the National Civil Society congress (NCSC) wish to reiterate their unequivocal support for the Kofi Annan-led AU and internationally backed mediation process in Kenya. Kenyans are desperate to see an end to the nightmare that the current crisis represents: this process represents an important, and perhaps the only remaining, opportunity to resolve the Kenya crisis. KPTJ and NCSC also wish to restate that real, lasting peace will only be achieved through both truth and justice with regard to the Kenya Presidential Election of 2007, and the violence that followed it.

Count Down To Deception - 30 Hours That Destroyed Kenya
Kenya is today on the brink of disintegration. At least 500 people have been killed, 6,100 have fled into exile in Uganda and another 250,000 plus are living as internally displaced persons in their own country. This is not the end of this sad chapter in our country’s history. It appears that Kenya is poised for more confrontation that could result in heavy casualties, loss of property and a general atmosphere of fear. The country is faced with the possible collapse of its economic, social and political systems. Other states that depend on Kenya’s stability are also seriously affected. [Lire]

Le plus difficile reste à faire au Kenya - 17 juillet 2008 - Par Philippe Viel - Le Kenya a un gouvernement de coalition depuis avril. Le président sortant, Mwai Kibaki, du Parti de l’unité nationale, demeure en poste, tandis que le chef de l’opposition, Raila Odinga, est nommé premier ministre. Mais les effets de la crise déclenchée à la suite des élections du 27 décembre vont se faire sentir longtemps. - Source : Alternatives

Kenya : La « société civile » des droits de l’homme : quête de légitimation politique et impuissance sociale - 24 mai 2008 - Par Dominique Connan - Les élections générales de 2007 et la crise qui a suivi ont mis à mal la réputation internationale d’un Kenya florissant sur le plan économique, en route sur le chemin d’une démocratisation encadrée par une société civile solidement constituée. À l’heure où les soubresauts de la crise politique dissipent les mythes et les mirages de cette image exportée, il importe ici de nous arrêter sur l’un de ses principaux fondements : la « société civile » kenyane, dont on dit régulièrement qu’elle est un solide rempart contre les démons de l’autoritarisme, de la violence et du tribalisme. - Source : IFRA Nairobi

Kenyans must seize democracy for themselves - 28 February 2008 - Mukoma Wa Ngugi and Firoze Manji - It has taken over 1,500 Kenyan lives, hundreds of thousands of internally displaced people, a destroyed economy, and intensified mistrust between ethnicities that will last generations for both Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga to realize what everyone knew from the beginning: “Neither side can realistically govern the country without the other. There must be real power-sharing to move the country forward and begin the healing and reconciliation process”. - Source : Pambazuka News

Kenya in Crisis - 21 February 2008 - Since the announcement of the contested presidential election results on 30 December 2007 giving a second term to Mwai Kibaki, Kenya has been in its worst political crisis since independence. Over 1,000 people have died and 300,000 have been displaced in violence with a serious ethnic character. - Source : International Crisis Group

The US and Kenya: Tragic setback for democracy in Africa - 27 January 2008 - Keith Jennings - In the immediate aftermath of the recent elections in Kenya, the Bush Administration wasted no time in sending its glowing congratulations to incumbent President Mwai Kibaki and the Kenyan Election Commission. But despite the subsequent attempt to ignore the congratulatory message, and adamant claim of a global commitment to democracy, the Bush Administration’s official stamp of approval for Kibaki and the elections reflected a de facto endorsement of a naked power grab and contempt for the democratic process. - Source : Pambazuka News

The Kenya case and media bias - 22 January 2008 - Antony Otieno Ong’ayo - While the whole world is aware of the crisis is in Kenya, thanks to the international and local media, most of their reporting is accurate, however, there is need for an honest analysis of the situation in Kenya - Source : Pambazuka News

L’alternance brisée et la colère politique au Kenya - 9 janvier 2008 - Par Dominique Connan et Florence Brisset-Foucault - Les violents affrontements qui frappent le Kenya depuis l’annonce des résultats de l’élection présidentielle du 27 décembre 2007 ont bien souvent fait l’objet d’un traitement médiatique imprécis voire erroné. L’emploi de registres d’analyse tels que celui de la « guerre inter-ethnique » relève davantage du cliché essentialiste que d’une analyse sérieuse des événements. En plus de donner une image univoque des violences, cette approche estompe fortement les responsabilités politiques dans le déclenchement de la crise. - Source : Mouvements

Kenya : députés bien payés contre population affamée... - 15 août 2007 - Par Renaud Vivien - A l’approche des élections législatives prévues en décembre 2007, le régime du Président kenyan Kibaki se durcit, n’hésitant pas à recourir aux force policières pour réprimer des manifestations pacifiques. Les derniers exemples en date sont les arrestations accompagnées de violences policières, du 31 juillet et du 2 août, de quinze manifestants qui s’opposent à une proposition de loi des députés kenyans visant à s’octroyer une prime de fin de législature. - Source : CADTM
