Is it really best to have the intro mention the recent violence in such a major way? I'd have thought the intro section should provide more of an overview of the country, not 'what's latest'. Sure, it can mention the current challenges the country faces, but the details of the recent events are likely to be less important shortly, and I'd like to see an intro which is more lasting.

::Noel brings up an interesting point of view. But I suggest many readers will turn to CZ because they want to know what is going on right now.

History
The very brief treatmeant of Kenya's History is not laziness or Eurocentricism or anything like that; I know very little about Kenya's history. I'll leave to others to add to it. Denis Cavanagh 16:27, 4 January 2008 (CST)
