The cause of PEV in RV can be trace back to Jomo Kenyatta but it's triggered by Kalenjin politicians to distract the kalenjin voters from asking the right questions.
While Jomo Kenyatta stole land from RV and forceful resettle people from Central in RV, Kale politicians have stolen even more land than Jomo Kenyatta did.

This is the whole truth, which many people do not know or too naive to realize. Hizo zingine ati PEV, clashes etc ni vijisababu tu.

This statement is partially true. There was rigging on both sides. The election was completely flawed. Thats why I have always said that the person to blame most for PEV 2008 is Mwai Kibaki. By declaring himself president, he unleashed all kinds of emotions. Elections are a very emotional issue for Kenyans. And you should not play with emotions. Kibaki should have been a true statesman. He should have put selfish interests aside and said there will either be a recount or a rerun. That way 3000 people would not have died. Kibaki's decision to steal the election by announcing himself the winner in that late night swearing in ceremony is what kicked off PEV 2008. It was a selfish act that precipitated chaos. Also The Kibaki era created hostility and distrust between Kenyan ethnic groups back to the level they were in in the mid 1960s with the Mount Kenya Mafia taking the place of the Kiambu mafia. The one difference this time was that there were no political assassinations. The one person I blame for PEV is RH Raila Odinga He could have been a statesman from 2005 when all rallies were about 'hawa watu' but he chose not to It started with dehumanisation before the actual killings began, just like in the holocaust @lonest, put the the thief on the trial, not the victim. What caused PEV is theft. What you are advocating here is like blaming victims of terror attack for not wearing bulletproof armour or blaming someone who raised a terror alert. faulty analogy bro. Before the elections, it was clear there would be vita whichevwr way it went

People willfully distorting facts! There was widespread violence in all major ODM strongholds, targeted at persons from communities perceived to be in support or sympathetic to Kibaki. Populations were forcibly moved from Nyanza, Rift and western. Same thing happened in Nairobi enclaves were ODM held sway! I agree that both side cheated in the elections - so neither had any moral ground to cry foul. The then electoral commission (as disgraced as it has been) declared a winner. We all know who it was. Prior to the exercise the umpire was known byall parties, in fact the opposition had backed the retention of the ECK chairman. If you choose to play ball, presided over by an umpire, the civilised thing to do is to respect his ruling otherwise democracy would never work. Isuni yilu yi maa me muyo - ni Mbisuu

As far as I know, most of the violence committed against people from central was committed by Ruto supporters. Yet today Ruto is very popular in central and they are promising to support him in 2022. Uhuru is even fighting to have African countries removed from the ICC. The ICC is the only thing we Africans have to protect us from insane war mongering politicians yet Uhuru wants us out of it and his supporters seem to agree. There is a level of hypocrisy here that is quite mind boggling.

Imagine if two teams played in the world cup final and the game was ended with no clear winner and one team declared itself the winner. And used its influence at FIFA to have itself declared the winner. How would the other teams supporters react?
Thats what Kibaki did to Kenya in 2007. By declaring himself the winner in an election whose true winner was not clear, he unleashed raw emotions of people.
Again I say, elections are a very emotive issue. This is especially true in Kenya where campaigns start two years early and reach fever pitch on election day.
Therefore Kibaki is 90% to blame. ICC evidence showed Uhuru, Ruto, Sang etc as culpable. But Kibaki's actions on that fateful day are the real reason PEV happened. No amount of rewriting history will change that. I wonder if that man can sleep at night.

I think you're being dishonest by not acknowledging the fact that even PNU supporters evicted ODM supporters,this happened in Parts of RV too. In Nyanza and Eldoret security forces who were under PNU command killed alot of people so let's be honest both sides committed what we can call crime against humanity.

Violence and evictions in RV started way before the elections. Also happened in 92 and 97. It's common knowledge that Kalenjin warriors were trained and paid to burn houses and kill Kyuks and Kisiis. Pokot warriors were used as mercenaries. Life is short. Live passionately.
