Obama's cousin lost a Presidential election--and the results were ugly:
Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, a Luo Marxist, and former Kenyan Barack Obama are cousins.
In an interview with Reuters in January, Odinga said Barack called him twice in one day to express his concern over the violent situation in Kenya since Odinga lost the elections.
But, the situation did not improve.
The opposition claimed the election was rigged in favour of President Mwai Kibaki.
Odinga's thugs then went on a rampage killing hundreds of Kenyans and burning churches.
Doug Ross reported on the election violence:
When Raila Odinga lost the presidential election last week (12/27) to Mwai Kibaki, he claimed the vote was rigged, whereupon his tribal followers went on murderous rampages such as in the town of Eldoret, where on New Years Day dozens of people were burned to death in a church set on fire... Throughout Kenya, hundreds of people have been politically murdered in the last few days.
