He apparently does not attempt to spread the information with this facebook account.

Mwai Kibaki won the election and became the president of Kenya. As his opposition, Raila Odinga was named as "the president of people". The final result was 46 percent vs. 44 percent. However, this election might include invalid ballots. As the eyewitness, Koki Muli, co-chairwoman of the Kenya Election Domestic, told the public that there might be some fake votes for Mr. Kibaki. This situation led to the conflict between supporters of two sides, which includes lots of violent events.]]> 2019-01-09 22:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319038863 haihan_gao https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319169500 2019-01-10 11:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319169500 haihan_gao https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319170086 On Dec. 27, 2007, the presidential election of Kenya started.
On Jan. 1, 2008, the first violent event took place, and 30 villagers died. 
On Jan. 28, more than 60 people are killed in four days of ethnic fighting in the Rift Valley towns of Nakuru and Naivasha.

By posting his pictures on the social media and magazines, like New York Times, he clearly clarify how bloody and violent the scene behind the political conflict is. I believe that Uriel tries to draw attention by shooting his pictures so that US government can help its ally to suppress the riots.]]> 2019-01-10 11:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319177694 haihan_gao https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319180108 2019-01-10 11:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319180108 haihan_gao https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319180145 2019-01-10 11:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319180145 haihan_gao https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319180192 2019-01-10 11:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/haihan_gao/Kenya_urielsinai/wish/319180192
