Kenya is one of the Sentinel Project's longest-running situations of concern so when the country scheduled a general election for March 4, we made it a priority to have oberservers on the ground. Our team was in Kenya during February and March both to act as election observers and to research recent ethnic violence in the Tana River District.…See More

Christopher Tuckwood replied to Christopher Tuckwood's discussion Updated report on the risk of genocide and mass atrocities in Kenya"You are quite right to say that applying the term genocide to the last round of post-election violence would be inaccurate, which is why we don't do that. The report acknowledges that no events in Kenya's modern history could be classified…"
Carolyn Hayman replied to Christopher Tuckwood's discussion Updated report on the risk of genocide and mass atrocities in Kenya"I'm sure this is a useful report but I feel that calling violence of the type that occurred in 2007/08 genocide completely devalues the term. What is the basis for this decision? I find it hard to believe you are anticipating greater violence…"
Rachel Muthoga replied to Christopher Tuckwood's discussion Updated report on the risk of genocide and mass atrocities in Kenya"Christopher,

Profile Information
- Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs)
- I am the co-founder and executive director of the Sentinel Project for Genocide Prevention. I've been working in anti-genocide advocacy for about five years and helped to create the Sentinel Project two years ago. We are currently busy developing an early warning system that can assess the threat of genocide in a given country.
Our mission is to prevent the crime of genocide worldwide through effective early warning and cooperation with victimized peoples to carry out non-violent prevention initiatives.
A cornerstone of our work is cooperation with groups that are at risk of genocide. These are the people with the most to lose and are often left out of discussions on their situation. It is only by working together with the people living in a potentially genocidal situation that early warning can be truly effective and appropriate preventive measures can be developed.

I shared the report with the whos who in the peace and conflict sector in Kenya. Guess what out of more than 10 contacts only one got interested and asked for further details. The aloof nature with which we approach early warning and response is the reason as to why most incidents go unpredicted.
I am in now in Somalia doing a conflict anlysis project for the FAO-UN....Lets talk more
