If you're interested in following another aspect of this crisis, perhaps catching a few more perspectives, I recommend the Kenya Elections 2007 project of Media Focus on Africa.

Nokia hooked up with a few NGOs to train volunteer citizen reporters and arm them with camera phones. These citizen reporters have been making short films on the election and posting them online for months now and they've all got really deep insights into what's going on.

The video is so heavy. Anyone watching can picture themselves recording it on their own phone as if they were there.

I couldn't believe the quick video story I caught on BBC's website last night: not sure how to create a link here so you'll have to cut and paste,

Really upsetting stuff to watch. Really upsetting. My heart goes out to everyone caught up in all this and I'll do what I can to help.

Great coverage. Maybe when people notice that videos are being picked up by media, and that they start getting attention, people will start making and uploading more videos online.
One can hope.
