In Kenya, a senior election official was found murdered and bearing signs of torture Monday, just one week before Kenyans head to the polls for a hotly contested presidential election. Christopher Chege Musando, who was tasked with overseeing Kenya’s electronic voting system, had been missing three days before his body turned up in Nairobi. The murder stoked fears of a repeat of violence after an election 10 years ago, which saw about 1,200 people die and more than a half-million displaced in fighting among different ethnic groups.
