You can't, simple as that. At the risk of sounding controversial, this no longer has anything to do with the election and everything to do with settling old scores between tribes. Please tell St. Bono that as long as there are tribal divisions in Africa, the continent will continue to be ****ed and the people will continue to kill each other.

The situation is showing signs of developing into a tribal war, which is a truly awful thought.
Politicians all over the world have a lot on their consciences-or should have!

Life in these countries are of little value. As a consiquence mass murder will always happen. Sad but true.
Was watching "Street Wars" the other night, when they showed a car jacking in South Africa. Happened at gun point, and even when the 2 black guys got the car, one of them still proceeded to take a shot at the fleeing victim. Got the car yet still tried to kill him.
It make you grateful as to where you live doesn't it?

Heard a story on BBC news where a woman tried to flee the burning church out a window with her 3 yr old child in her arms. One of the ar*sholes on the outside grabbed the child out her hands and threw the kid back in to the church straight into the inferno which killed him/her. Nothing can justify that, how can people do that and live with it.
Absolute b*astards.

Yet another former British colony run to rack and ruin. Cue a slew of white do-gooders on TV blaming everyone apart from the utter morons who have power in that country. Rattling a collection tin too.
Either go in there and sort the whole show out or don't report it, I'm fed up of hearing it, same **** different African country.

The Germans did this to a French village in World War II.

Les Frogs have left the village just as it was.
Sixty years on the people are just as uncivilised - Jugoslavia, Africa, South Ameria, Middle East, Pakistan, India and so on.
And regrettably it will continue without cessation somewhere in the world. In the name of religion, race or tribe, many many human beings really are scum.

Indeed. The British did this to an unarmed gathering of men, women and children in 1919, killing 379 and injuring over a 1000. In the name of maintaining an Empire.

I was in Nairobi late November and things were already pretty tense. The hotel advised taking taxis everywhere and the drivers were locking the doors as soon as you got in. Scary place.

Yup, terrible and vile.
However, not stopped the Indians and Pakistanis murdering over religion, land, caste, etc in the mean time, so - not much learned there then...
HRW World Report 1999: India: Human Rights Developments and of course the miurder od Bhutto last week + the looting and violence that went on afterwards was disgusting.

The violence in Ireland has prett much stopped, peace plan and multilateral disaramanet and the demobilisation of armed forces put in place and the two sides trying to put their pasts and differences aside for the betterment of thier people. A single govenment in place, etc.
Progress and learning from past mistakes are signs of a civilised society i think you will agree.
Now then, what would your suggestions be for kenya or would you just prefer to point out problems eslewhere - it is your way of saying "well you are not perfect so you cannot talk or critisize", do tell

My suggested solution for Africa as a whole is re-colonisation, would you believe! A 'benevolent dictator' is the best form of government and certainly what is needed to stop the continent dragging itself back into the stone age.

Bring back the British Empire. These countries have fantastic assets that are either being stolen by the people in power, or just wasted.

In Ethiopia in 2005 several hundred opposition supporters were killed and many opposition party members were imprisoned, to keep the power hungry president in power. Didn't hear about that in the media did we?
There will always be bitter divisons between tribes in Africa due to the utmost severe inequalities and poverty suffered by 99% of the population. many of the resources the African countries have are raped by western countries like the UK and the USA. Gold, diamonds, oil, coal, all extracted by large multinationals while little "wealth" is returned to the people who really need it.
I suggest anyone bitching and moaning about how sh*tty the UK is spend a few weeks in any Afican country to gain some perspective on reality.
Religeon and ignorance are the biggest killers.

Who's fault is it that the wealth of the continent is not returned to the people that really need it? Your suggestion that western countries are raping the wealth of Africa is flawed. By using the word rape you are implying that western nations are forcing African nations leaders against their will using violence etc to get their away. The guys in charge where western companies (increasingly Chinese BTW) are mining are obviously in cahoots with whatever leaders are in Africa. In essence fellow Africans are practicing genocide to line their own pockets with the continent's wealth. The fact that Western governments pay their way for such resources and perhaps perpetuate this arrangement is possibly morally bad view in some quarters, but it certainly is not rape.
I also go along with you point about we in the UK should go along and see how bad it is over there, maybe stay over there and overturn wholescale corruption and Lord of The Flies style governments.

If there was no demand for South African diamonds or Nigerian oil etc, where locals are shot on sight if they go near the beaches or pipelines, then there would not be a problem. Yes I agree, the ****** are in Africa too, build a 2km road to nowhere in Addis Ababa and take as much coal, or whatever, as they like. Yes, corrupt Govn'ts and officials allow this to happen, but it's the demands from nations like the UK, USA and China (Agreed) which is the main driver behind the troubles which leads to the abject poverty these people endure.

Just goes to show, apart from brandishing AK47's and wearing gaudy T-shirts, those savages over there are no further developed than they were 1000 years ago.
