Topic > Life in Kenya - 763

In Kenya there are many problems that happen to people every day. These problems have progressively worsened over time. People are taking a stand for human rights, but that is necessarily enough to stop people from doing critical things to others. There are three specific human rights violations that should be recognized and addressed in Kenya. We should worry about Kenya because it has lost the right to own things, police brutality and torture are happening to innocent people. But three violations does not even remotely cover all the human rights violations in Kenya. Kenya has gotten progressively worse regarding these violations over the years and it would be great for someone to take a strong stand and stop all the violations from occurring. The loss of things like the right to one's homeland has happened to native Kenyans. Larger groups of people or tribes pushed the native Kenyans out of their homeland because they decided they needed their land to expand. Everything that they and their ancestors have worked on and suddenly it's all taken away because someone has so much more power over the natives. The distancing of communities from their homeland is a consequence of development projects that are not recognized (Minorities Under...). Many people in the United States usually shouldn't worry much about this issue because no one would try. Mark Lattimer states: “In every region of the world, minorities and indigenous peoples have been excluded, repressed and, in many cases, killed by their governments” (Minorities Under…). So it is not only non-natives who are forcing Kenyans to leave their homeland, but it is also their own government that is doing so. The government should take into consideration your human rights... middle of paper... and try to stop these things from happening. However, these violations are very serious and should be taken into consideration. Works Cited “Kenya: Time for Change.” Amnesty now. November 1997: np SIRS Issues Researcher.
