Kenya new new news
There are not normal times in Kenya, and Ombuki is very unhappy.
He is a refugee in his own country. "It is indeed sad to live in this camp when I have my farm. I am a beggar now," he says outside his tent in a displaced camp in Molo town, on the edge of the Rift Valley.
He ran away when another enemy tribe attack his farm. They stole his corn and burned the fields. They even tore the tin roof off the house to sell as scrap metal.
"They started fighting, destroying and burning houses and killing people," says Ombuki. "We could not wait to die."
So they fled to a ramshackle camp for refugees. Many thousands of farmers are among the 300,000 people displaced because of Kenya's disputed elections.
