Nairobi, Kenya — Kenyan men watch television in the Kibera slum as preliminary results trickle in after Monday's general election. Kenya on Monday held its first presidential election since the 2007 vote, which ushered in months of tribal violence that killed more than 1,000 people and displaced 600,000.
