The Kenyan election concerns me
only because it has the potential to destabilize Kenya and while the Kenyan
government is corrupt in nature, it is also somewhat peaceful. A peaceful
country in that region of Africa I believe is particularly important considering
it's neighbors with Somalia located just above Kenya and Rwanda near below. There is a lot of
instability in that small area of Africa. However in many ways this is nothing
new for the nation; it has a history of instability when electing a new
president. Basically every election since the Kenya's formation has been corrupt
or had a small amount of violence associated with. However, Kenya remains a
strong ally of the United States especially in Africa, and this was shown to the
world when Pres. Obama visited there in 2015.
(Did additional research on US Dept. of State website).
