SUGOI, Kenya (AP) - Just a few hours after youngsters at a children's home in western Kenya finished the soccer game, their fellow players turned on them.
The attackers crept out of a coffee plantation, smeared with clay and armed with spears, machetes, bows and arrows. Then they burned and looted the home that served as the only refuge for 130 children with troubled pasts. One child heard an attacker mention President Mwai Kibaki, who is accused of stealing this country's Dec. 27 election.
The attack on the Sugoi-Munsingen Children's Home and School this weekend is one more example of the turmoil that has followed the disputed election. Protests quickly degenerated into clashes that killed more than 1,000 people. Much of the violence has pitted other ethnic groups against Kibaki's Kikuyu people, long resented for their dominance of business and politics.
