Next is taken from 'the vigilante journalist' and is a good explanation and pictures of how is Kenia now. Not much to say, but that things are worse and there is really very little hope for improvement within next month or so.

A man brandishing a Machete in Mathari North speaks in front of a crowd
Mathari North was an absolute nightmare today and it doesn’t look as though things will settle down anytime soon. ODM has called for a fresh round of mass action protests next week and killings have continued to occur at night and during the day on both sides. We are seeing an increased polarization of all the other tribes versus Kikuyu, and tension is mounting on all sides in all sectors. There is reason for concern that things will spiral out of control and that tribal animosity may spread to the middle classes and spill over into the streets of downtown Nairobi if leaders don’t do something fast to try to remedy the situation.
It is difficult to get a full body count for Mathari as many parts are so dangerous that journalists and aid workers are unable to go in. The last tally I received was 3 dead, and 12 seriously wounded for today, but killings are sure to continue through the night and into tomorrow. I was unable to ascertain the specific nature of all the reported wounded.
I arrived in Mathari North early in the evening at a horrific scene. A man accused of being a spy by a mixture of tribes (other than Kikuyu) laid in a pool of his own blood, still breathing, as bystanders continued to beat. His skull was bashed in and he stopped breathing just as we were leaving the scene. Two men lay dead in the street having suffered a similar fate not far away in another section of Mathari but we were unable to get to them due to the security situation.
There have been increasing reports that the Mungiki, a highly organized Kikuyu gang, have been active in Mathari and that they are being helped by the General Service Units (GSU) or Red Berets. It is alleged that they are being armed and given GSU uniforms by the latter and that they often come in after police raids to slash people. Members of tribes other than Kikuyu in Mathari say they have killed Mungiki members and suspected informants such as the man pictured below in order to protect their own people.
I spent the afternoon hanging about a makeshift displaced people’s camp on the main road to Mathari. There is virtually no security for those staying there, mostly Kikuyu who fled Mathari, and reports of attacks at night abound, though apparently no one has been injured as yet. Living conditions are abhorrent. Below are a few pictures from the camp.
