Boni has such a powerful story. That perspective of seeing and being there during such a difficult time and then turning to become Kenyas biggest activist is a true testament of making a difference and just letting his voice be heard. Boni, u r a true Kenyan hero.

Reminds me of Abeli's story on Post Election Violence

[@nikuzemuyira6988]

This issue of post elections is so scary to date it determines where I live I can never live where there is dominance of one tribe.its sad but I always have to do research before I move, bse it's not safe for my family

[@lizmwangi4078]

Censorship is part of the disenfranchisement on Kenyans. Many of us still don't understand the level of violence and death brought upon innocent Kenyans by fellow Kenyans. Not by government!!!! We need to acknowledge this hate and evil before we can heal and hope for a better Kenya. I can imagine the unveiling of the truth would be very uncomfortable and disturbing for a lot of Kenyans

[@growingupwithteacherparents]

As a journalism student, I'm learning a lot here.

Politicians hi-fiving each other; mathare residents hacking neighbours

[@nyawirajedidah2773]

Heart wrenching! Bonnie you are strong.

[@davidmugume]

The trauma is still in Bonny. Somewhere hidden.

[@collinsmango]

Sad phase of Kenya's history

[@thebucketlist.]

I was in Mathare that year, i was 15 Years, and i used to run with the jounalists. They guy Boni took a photo of when his hand was cut was my Berber at Mathare Number 10.

I re-watch this every week, just to remind myself why I shouldn't vote. And the political clowns alleged to be part of the violence are campaigning for the presidential seat. Kenyans forget so quickly.

[@maurinenduta3589]

in some years to come we shall remember Bonny and it will be too late😩😩

[@michjaneawuor2021]

[@strawmummy]

Mwangi's job is traumatizing...I don't know how he managed the 2008 post election clashes!

[@anthonywahome20]

Enyewe,kuwa journalist ni kazi ngumu.Those grim pics ni gut wrenching

[@nikuzemuyira6988]

That number of people killed seems low

[@anthonywahome20]

How do you even have the appetite after hizo picha?

[@ndaisikioko7021]

But it ain't live, I think the photos were sent after the shooting. Ama you were asking for yourself? Hehe

[@loobkooblai3591]

16:04 Martha Karua wasn't happy. she's probably thinking "We just stole this guy's victory, how come he's now in govt?"

[@TheNaisenya]

Excellent story - I really liked listening to it. But CTA, to add professionalism to your content, watch & edit out the unnecessary parts e.g. when power went off or when you are talking about killings of innocent victims and then you talk about food arriving and you guys need to go and eat 🤔

[@larryachiya2475]

This isn't a newsroom. It is as real as it is. Newsrooms tend to leaving the out stuff that would have shown the real picture of what happened. I think you can choose not to follow this episode or series if you are disturbed
