Kenya: Arson, riots leave slum dwellers destitute
Mother of five, Rose Mueni, used to eke out a living selling fruit in Nairobi's sprawling Kibera slum before her home and stall were torched in the post-election violence that engulfed the settlement on the night of 30 December.
"I do not know what to do now. If I had bus fare I would go back to the village. There at least I will have a roof over my head and some food for the children," said Mueni, one the thousands of Kibera residents who have sought refuge at Jamhuri Park in a compound used for trade fairs near the slum after their homes were burned and their property looted during the fighting.
