The request by the Kenyan government to have the six men suspected to be responsible for the mass violence that swept the country last year to be tried in Kenya was rejected by the ICC. According to the ICC, there is not a sufficient amount of evidence for the trial to be conducted in Kenya. The violence seen last year led to the rape and murder and a severe amount of strife enveloped the country. The charges facing these men include: crimes against humanity, torture, persecution, the forceful transfer of the population, rape and murder.What will be very interesting is to see how the country and its people will react to the actual rulings that will be issued as the country has a long history of political violence.
