Election Violence Videos
The Post Election violence in Kenya began right after the December 2007 election results were announced. The election was peaceful but after the results were announced and Kibaki was declared the winner, the violence broke. President Kibaki’s Party of National Unity (PNU) and Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) pointed fingers at each other with accusations of rigging that may have occurred.
The legitimacy of the quickly sworn in government was soon in question and mass protests by ODM supporters erupted. January was the beginning of a new face of Kenya. The whole world witnessed the violence that broke out, with thousands of lives lost, billions worth of property damaged, millions internally displaced and the economic standstill that ensued. Many Kenyans have suffered and we would like to come together and answer the unheard cries of the Kenyan people. Below are some of the videos taken during the violence.

New stories of terror are starting to emerge in Kenya, in the wake of the post-election violence that killed more than a thousand people. During the chaos, women and even children were targeted for rape and sexual assault in the country's slums, refugee camps and even in schools. It's something a new power-sharing government has pledged to investigate. Yvonne Ndege has been talking with some of the victims.

CHEN: Reports of witches in Kenya resulted in eleven people being burned to death. Eight women and three men were attacked by an angry mob and set on fire. The attacks took place in an area of west Kenya where suspicion of witchcraft runs deep. Police have drafted extra security forces into Kisii district to prevent revenge attacks—this in a region already reeling from tribal killings during Kenya's post-election crisis. STORY: Burned alive - the charred corpses of 11 elderly Kenyan villagers accused of practising witchcraft. Neighbours described how a mob, armed with a list of suspected witches, descended on the village in western Kenya. Their victims - 8 women and 3 men - were set alight, one by one. Pastor Enock Obiero's wife was among the victims. [Enocj Obiero, Bereaved Pastor]: "My child told me she didn't know where her mother was as she thought she'd run away. I asked her where, as I didn't see her from where I'd hidden myself. It seems she never left the house." Traditional African beliefs, Christianity and Islam co-exist peacefully in Kenya. But there's widespread suspicion of sorcery, particularly in west Kenya, which has a long tradition of witch doctors and faith healers. The police are appealing for calm. Extra police have been deployed in the region to prevent further bloodletting. The region is still recovering from the tribal violence that convulsed Kenya earlier this year following the country's disputed elections.

Directed and edited by Prince R. Makaya this is the official Daima video. Instead of the typical landscapes, scenery, wildlife, etc Eric decided to go with a much simpler concept for this video - highlight the future of Kenya - the children. Eric chose to work with Shangilia kids to make this video soon after the post-election violence of 2007. The voices of the kids are mixed in with Eric's original track. This patriotic song was used extensively to bring back sanity to a beautiful land that was rapidly consuming itself after the 2007elections. The video is on Eric's music video DVD called "Daima: The Music Videos" that has been on sale for some time now. The DVD also includes some of Eric's most notable songs such as "Nchi ya Kitu Kidogo", "Dunia ina Mambo", "Ukweli", "Sawa Sawa" amongst others. On the DVD are a number of bonus videos so don't just download - get an authentic copy.
