After watching the previous video I start thinking. No doubt about that I love new opportunities and challenges we’re facing because of the internet. On the other hand, some things don’t have to be explained. In fact, please don’t find a explaination for everything.

December 2012 new elections will take place in Kenya. The elections in 2007 started a period of political, economic, and humanitarian crisis in Kenya.
The 2007–2008 Kenyan crisis refers to a political, economic, and humanitarian crisis that erupted in Kenya after incumbent President Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner of the presidential election held on December 27, 2007. Supporters of Kibaki’s opponent, Raila Odinga of the Orange Democratic Movement, alleged electoral manipulation. This was widely confirmed by international observers[7], perpetrated by both parties in the election.
Ushahidi (“testimony” in Swahili) initially was developed to map reports of violence in Kenya. The website was used to map incidents of violence and peace efforts throughout the country based on reports submitted via the web and mobile phone. Since then Ushahidi has been used in several areas to map situations that needed an overview. Like the recent earthquake in Chile, the tragedy on Haiti earlier this year and even in Washington during ‘Snowmageddon’.
Check the video below, an impressive overview by pictures.
