The Kenyan singer, Eric Wainaina, on the mistaken view that the post-election violence in Kenyan was due to "tribalism" (starts around 8:40):

"With the post-election crisis, a lot of people said it has everything to do with tribalism. I think tribalism was maybe a spark that got the fire going, but there are deeper issue. We can't talk about peace if the necessities of life have been curtailed. There can't be peace without food; there can't be peace with sustenance."
