dc.description.abstractKenya has suffered much violence in the recent past particularly the post-election violence (PEV) of the last General Election in 2007. Violence, like other human issues, has an epicenter, that is, where its concentration is highest.' During the last PEV, Kibera, which is the largest and most densely populated slum in Kenya, was considered by many including the National Steering Committee of Peace building and Conflict Management in Kenya (NSC), to be one of these epicenters. This is due to a number of factors: With its population of approximately 700,000 in an area of just 550 acres, overcrowding is a major issue which breeds different forms of violence such as rape and thuggery. It is located seven kilometers south-west of Nairobi city centre. During hostility in Kibera, there is often a spill-over of violence to the city centre. It is split by the Nairobi-Kisumu railway line, which residents often uproot to show their anger. Kibera's heterogeneous mix of various Kenyan tribes also presents fertile ground for inter-ethnic contlict. Other factors include poverty, unemployment, insecurity and political interference among others.en_US
