KENYA-POLITICS-UNREST-INTERNET
TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Reuben KYAMA, Thomas MORFIN
Members of the Somali community residing in Kenya take part in a public forum in Nairobi on July 25, 2014 to air their grievances at being potrayed as dangerous in social media and other forums following a spate of terrorist attacks in Kenya, most of them claimed by Somalia-based al-Qaeda linked Shabab islamists. Kenya takes pride in being a union of "42 tribes", but a string of attacks in towns on its volatile coast has exposed bitter and explosive ethnic tensions linked to politics. Weeks of attacks along the Kenyan coast that have killed around 100 people have provoked warlike political speeches, alarmist media headlines, and inflammatory and offensive messages on social media. "There has been a surge of dangerous speech," said 26-year-old Nanjira Sambuli, a project leader of Umati, an online crowd sourcing project monitoring hate speech, based in Nairobi's sleek iHub offices, the heart of its tech-savvy community.
