In Kenya, at least 300 people have died in ethnic fighting following last week’s disputed presidential election. At least 30 people were burned alive on Tuesday when a church was set on fire. Police estimated that 75,000 Kenyans have fled their homes due to what has been described as the worst violence in Kenya since 1982. On Sunday, Kenya’s election commission declared president Mwai Kibaki the winner of Thursday’s election but immediately questions were raised about the fairness of the vote. Early results showed opposition leader Raila Odinga well ahead. In some areas, there were more votes for the president than registered voters. The European Union said that there was clear evidence of ballot rigging.
