Kenyans displaced by bloody 2007 general elections still living in deplorable conditions in makeshift camps

In 2007 Kenyans voted in a general elections, widely expected to beat incumbent all powerfull president Mwai Kibaki was opposition leader Raila Odinga. He rejected the elections results which indicated his party: Orange Democratic Movement had won majority seats in parliament but that he had lost the presidency. Country-wide violent protests erupted killing more than 1000 as security forces battled local tribesmen protesting the outcome of the elections. Thousands of Kenyans were expelled from their homes but the Kikuyu's suffered most after they were thought have voted for a Kikuyu candidate Kibaki. Many were ejected from Rift Valley and their homes torched. These pictures show about 10,000 mainly Kikuyu tribesmen injected from Rift Valley and who now have settled in Ol Kalou ( predominantly Kikuyu area) about 300 kilometres from Nairobi, the capital city. But like a story with a bad ending here the government forgot about them. Living conditions in this camp aptly named Shalom City (city of peace ) is deplorable. Food, water, shelter and other amenities are in short supply yet both Kibaki and Raila now share power in what is called the Grand Coalition government
