Iran and Kenya election Rigging
There are alot of similarities between the rigging that occured after the Kenya 2007 elections and Iran 2009 elections1. Both presidents were vying for a second term2. Rigging was carried out openly3. Government was well prepared in advance putting security forces at key areas3. Governments solicited forein governments of fighters to help kill demonstrators4. Shoot to kill orders issued to police and paramilitary forces - innocent/unarmed civillians - including children are killed in cold blook5. Many people arrested on filmsy grounds and then dissapear (massacred and burried)6. Ahmedinejad visited Kenya recently - looks like he borrowed some notes on rigging and killing demonstrators7. Russia, China etc always come in support of unpopular rigged government. China supplied Kenya with tonnes of weapons and ammunitions during the post election violence.

I think Kenya will learn from the past, and the new election will be fair. I cant give an example to compare with, but it is our hope everything will be better next time.
