The first article looks at how the ‘economic dislocation is exacerbating ethnic resentment amid signs that a power –sharing deal will not be enough to end the violence’. The second article assesses Kenya’s military dilemma of keeping a low profile and its armed forces reputation for professionalism insulating Kenya from wars across the borders in a continent that has seen 81 military coups and 125 failed attempts apart for six hours in 1982.
