Ushahidi got mentioned on BoingBoing. They're mapping where violence has been reported in Kenya.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kibaki is persisting in his insistence that there is in fact no crisis, and therefore no international mediators are needed. So he's snubbing Kofi Annan, who has offered to come help in any way that he can. I think that, of the two scoundrels, Mr. Kibaki is the greater scoundrel. Even to a cynical outside observer, it appears that Mr. Odinga is actually trying to get together to negotiate a solution. Mr. Kibaki keeps insisting that there's no problem. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is declaring it the end of belief in any hope for African stability.
For your information, David Kobia (the one who helped to develop Ushahidi) is the creator of Mashada.com and this forum is promoting violence, tribal clashes and hate speeches… Mashada is one of the place where people will kill you with words. This forum has no moderator and David is doing nothing to moderate the place.
Just as an example, see

“We have barricaded their only route to their rural homes. In Nairobi we have engaged the Mungiki, they will either pay us in order for us not to kill them, or we will kill them….
This is what awaits every misguided jaluo and kalenjin:
[picture of men in blood]”
How can a man develop a useful website such as Ushahidi and in the same time promote violence and clashes in Mashada.
By the way, David, are you safe in Alabama ?
Please moderate your websites as the US law stipulate it or close Mashada.com !!
