Peris Wairimu, VoicesofAfrica alumna in Meru, Kenya
Most of the victims and potential witnesses in the Kenya's 2007 post election violence, have started expressing their fear of revenge come the next general elections in the year 2012. The Internally Displaced Persons(IDPs) who fled in Meru for safety, said they are still looking for a peaceful place since Meru is also not safe for them come 2012.
Speaking to Voices Of Africa in an exclusive interview, some of the IDPs also said that their lives would be in danger if they ever gave any evidence of the perpetrators. This happened just after the International Criminal Court (ICC) Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo visited Kenya two months ago and appointed some of his staff to investigate the matter. The three have started receiving the views of the victims.
