Kenya: In Case You Weren’t Watching

by | 17th, February 2008

KENYA. Not Iraq. Not Israel. A news story that escapes the mainstream:

Alan Ogot, one of Kenya’s leading historians, is the chancellor of Moi University in Eldoret…The biggest threat to the country, he says, will not come from Luo secession, or even from other tribes’ reprisals, but from crime. In Luoland over half the population is under 18 years old. Unemployment in Kisumu is already 70%. Without jobs, political lawlessness will harden into organised criminality.

Who sets the news agenda?
