I was really interested about the Africa´s news and I heard a new which is about the economics problem that are suffering in Kenya due to the conflicts that have arised this year.
The elections in Kenya were carried out last year on December and it triggered one of the most turbulent events that the country had ever seen.
A nation that was perceived as an icon of stability in Africa, descended into chaos.
The people was in shock because of the killings, destruction of property and displacement of people.
The impact on Kenya's economy was also immense as more than half a million people became refugees in their own country.The trouble began with the disputed election results.
The journalist in that country examined the challenges that lie ahead and finds out if the government needs a plan of action to resolve the tribal differences that exist.
Before the violence erupted, Kenya had just had a record year for tourism.
Now, in the middle of the political problems and warnings by foreign governments against travel to Kenya, bookings have decreased.
Hotels are empty, unemployment is on increasing and the cost of living has gone up by 21 percent.
The journalist of that research looked how the downturn in tourism has affected the economy, local businesses and the live of ordinary people.
From those who work on flower farms or musicians who entertain tourists, their lives have changed a lot and some of them are living in displacement camps.
Economically Kenya is facing a challenge, with rapidly rising food prices and the goverment have to deal with all this problems for the welfare of the population.
