From Voice of America:
In Kenya, a government demolition campaign in the coastal city of Mombasa has left many people homeless. Human rights groups say the demolitions are part of a government effort to displace opposition voters ahead of this year's elections . . . .
An estimated 5,000 people are now homeless. Mr. Khalifa has said many of them are sleeping in the city's churches or mosques or simply out on the streets in the rain.
Can you imagine the headlines if Israel demolished homes in eastern Jerusalem on a scale like that?
