- About 30 people taking refuge in a church died when it was burned down.
- A couple of the more concerning observations from Kenyan Pundit's latest post:
Meanwhile the “President” is wishing Kenyans a happy new year and has said absolutely not one thing about the hundreds of lives that are being lost - isn’t this lack of action just as inciteful?- Alfred Mutua, the government spokesman, continues to be in la-la land talking about incidents of violence “here and there.” Actually, he is beginning to remind me of Baghdad Bob when the Iraq war started.
- Chris Blattman links to some more Kenyan blogs, including Daniel Rubia on why Raila Odinga is not blameless; Kenyan Jurist on the legal aspect of contesting the vote results; and some photos by Thinker's Room of the aftermath of mobs in a Nairobi slum.
- And Michael Holman, the FT's former Africa correspondent takes Western donors to task for ignoring the Kenyan government's corruption and other unsavory qualities - a charge that could also be leveled to some extent at the international media as well.
