The violence plaguing the Tana River region of eastern Kenya continued on Thursday when 10 people were killed during an attack on a village, including five children, above. The attack appeared to be revenge for an assault on Wednesday in which at least seven people were killed. The authorities say there is deep-rooted hatred between the Pokomo and Orma ethnic groups, which have been fighting for years. The police say they are investigating politicians, businessmen and power brokers for instigating the violence. Kenya will hold national elections in March, and officials are working to avoid a repeat of the country’s last national vote, when interethnic violence exploded across the country, killing more than 1,000 people.
