(March 12, 2008) Election results were disputed in both Nigeria and Kenya, but the similarity ended there. Kenya, considered one of the most stable democracies in Africa, descended into bloody tribal conflict. Nigeria, by contrast, conducted a massive vote recount and turned to the courts, patiently awaiting a verdict. A tentative peace is now holding in Kenya, and Nigeria's opposition has taken the case to the Supreme Court. But surely, the Nigerian faith in the rule of law has been the better course, with hundreds of lives saved. SOURCES: NTA, Nigeria; CCTV, China; NBC News, U.S.; TV5, France; Al Jazeera English, Qatar.
