Apres Moi, la deluge?

Daniel arap Moi has been forced to resign without his retirement package ("including a fleet of seven cars, a staff of 34, a 12-bedroom house and a state funeral") as dissidents in his own party, Kenya's African National Union (KANU), allied with the opposition in order to prevent the appointment of his representative, Jomo Kenyatta, as presidential candidate.

However, Kenya is a possible candidate for instability. With its strategic position near the Horn of Africa, any possible upsets could lead to the deployment of troops.

The Mau Mau insurgency (1949-1963) shows our own historical relationship with Kenya, steeped as it is in Empire.
