Still too tribal

摘要

When a group of idealists calling themselves "patriots" and "nationalists" tried to hold a political rally in Limuru, half an hour's drive north of Nairobi, Kenya's capital, they ended up being chased into the forest by police firing live rounds and tear gas. The police labelled them "dangerous" and "criminal". The organisers' grave error was to tell the crowd that they were not obliged to vote for someone from their own ethnic group.
