Out of Control : How Kenya is sliding into Civil War

After the 2007 elections were badly organized and eventually rigged, Kenya went into a tailspin of civil conflict that led to the death of 1500 people and displacement of more than half a million.
The country is tense, tribal mistrust is high and gangs have overrun parts of the country leading to increased criminality.
The author argues that Kenya was destined to fall into the African trap of civil war and being of no exception is poised to fall apart just like its neighbours. There are safeguards though that can be put in place to reduce the possibility of a prolonged civil war, but the political kingpins are neither interested nor aware of the predicament of the country to implement this safeguards.
This book is a must read for those who want to understand Kenya at this stage in its history.
