Ethnic conflicts in Kenya information

Ethnic conflicts in Kenya occur frequently, although most are classified as minor skirmishes.[citation needed] A significant increase in the severity of such conflicts between the various ethnic groups inhabiting the country was witnessed after the introduction of multi-party politics in the early 1990s, especially during the 2007–08 Kenyan crisis.[1] Major conflicts have also led to exoduses of ethnic minority communities with roots in other geographical areas.
