Mathare tense but calm after post-election violence

(13 Aug 2017) Life appeared to be returning to normal in the Nairobi shantytown of Mathare on Sunday, a day after a number of people were reported killed in violent post-election clashes. Kenya's police have come under scrutiny for what the National Commission on Human Rights described as the "unlawful and unacceptable" use of excessive force. In Mathare on Saturday, police fired live rounds and teargas to disperse opposition protesters who blocked roads and set up burning barricades. Nine bodies with gunshot wounds were brought to the Nairobi morgue from the shantytown, according to a mortuary official, and a nine-year-old girl was killed by a stray bullet. Protests began soon after Tuesday's presidential election, when the main opposition candidate, Raila Odinga, alleged vote-rigging. Kenyatta was declared the winner, but the bitter dispute over the integrity of the election process tempered what many Kenyans had hoped would be a celebration of democracy.
