Briefing Room 14.11.25: Kenya's Growing Threat of Intercommunal Violence

Welcome back to The Briefing Room, the weekly show that gazes upon a world of media filled with stories about gerrymandering, the US shutdown ending, and AI stock sell-offs, and whispers to itself, Oh, you sweet summer child.

I'm Simon Whistler, and this week we're once again diving into stories away from the regular headlines to focus instead on stuff like the latest purges in an increasingly unstable South Sudan, or these swirling rumors that Russia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, may have fallen out of favor with Vladimir Putin.

But before we get into that, we're turning this episode's focus towards Kenya, where a recent report has suggested that tribal divisions are on the rise, divisions that could yet lead to a repeat of 2007's widespread post-election violence.
