Mob kills 50 Kenyans cowering in church, Violence Spreads
The Associated Press reports at least 50 people — many of them children — died in the church fire, but a government spokesman says none of the 150 deaths during the last two days are related to the election.
It is the latest deadly conflict in the normally peaceful country since the incumbent won last week’s presidential election and police and political backers of the failed candidate began clashing.
“What we now witness is a cold and calculated plan to organize and engage in massacres,†government spokesman Alfred Mutua said.
More and more the nation seems headed for civil war as tribal tensions continue to erupt in the aftermath of the disputed election results. The AP is now reporting that up to 270 people have been killed since the violence first began.
