Kenya’s post-2007 elections violence was a landmark event in the country’s political history and led to the death and displacement of over thousand people. The Nairobi slums are one area that was adversely affected by the December 2007-January 2008 post elections violence. However, the social cost of the violence was greater than the visible dislocations reported in the media and elsewhere. This booklet records experiences captured between January 2008 and November 2012 within the activity-framework of Citizens Against Violence (CAVi) and its key discussion platform, the Nairobi Slums Assembly, a monthly experience and information sharing platform. It aims to provide more information what is still outside the public domain regarding how the violence erupted and the future challenges aseveral slums are coping with.
