Impact Election Violence on Socio-Economic Situation in Africa: A Case of Kenya

Abstract

It is no doubt that violence or war disrupts not only the social, economic, religious dimensions of life but also the education of the community. Violence leads to deaths, destruction of property and displacement of people. It is very hard for children in war torn countries/places to access education due to insecurity, displacement and trauma. This paper endeavours an understanding of the socio-economic situation in Kenya in the wake of election violence.
