Leaders, organizations and community groups intensified calls and activities meant to foster peace both before and after Kenya's General Elections of March 4, 2013. The messages were in reaction to the mayhem that came after the 2007 which left more than 1100 people killed, more than 3500 injured and another 600,000 displaced.
