Mobile being used to bring perspective in Kenya


  1. Yesterday on the main news channels they showed the protests in Kenya. The coverage made it look like there were major events taking place across the country. In fact there were a few hundred people standing across a thousand police officers. I spoke to many people today in Nairobi and most people are in the office working as always. The schools are open and people are going on with their day to day lives. Even a report that the night life is still kicking into the late evening.

    Please see some of the mobile reports on the subject.
