Kikuyu people in Kenya are experiencing riots and houses being gutted out by fire by the Luo people of Kenya. This ethnic violence is not the first occasion. After the election dispute in 2007 the exact same thing when Raila Odinga (Luo) lost to another Kikuya. This time around Mr. Odinga lost to Mr. Kenyatta (Kikuyu) and the same violence took place because of the charges Kenyatta is facing. There is much controversy over whether the votes were rigged during this current election or not. Many Kenyans have stated that the violence right now is no where near as violent as it was before.
