Well, he won the previous election while on trial for crimes against humanity[1](murder of 3000 Kenyans, displacement of 300,000 others), so he's gonna be pretty hard to beat next year since the International Criminal Court dropped the case after all the witnesses "disappeared."[2] Oh, and don't count on his Vice President either. They were in the crimes against humanity case together[1], and fellow politicians have openly shared stories of how the VP strangles his enemies to death(yes, this is in the literal sense)[3]. 3rd world politics man

It's things like this that make me think "Yeah, things aren't that great in [insert Western democracy], but damn they could be a hell of a lot worse."

Wow, I've heard great things about Kenya did not know the government there was in that bad of shape.
