Current post-election displacement in Kenya is not a new phenomenon but a
recurring trend linked to unresolved land grievances, in a context of poor
governance and socio-economic insecurity. This is of concern to
humanitarians as the failure to understand the dynamics involved and
the implications for recovery can exacerbate tensions and jeopardise
attempts to resolve the crisis.
