Kenyan Gang Riot Leaves 24 Dead Clashes between a violent Kenyan street gang and locals have left 24 dead and injured three others, reports CNN. According to police, the fighting began Monday, when residents resisted the gang’s efforts to remove people from the town of Karatina who are from nearby community. Police have arrest 37 people in connection with the violence and have confiscated several weapons. Some accuse the gang Mungiki (which means “multitude” in English), also known as the Kenyan mafia, of being one of the driving forces behind the country’s post-election violence in 2008 that killed thousands. Mungiki gang members have terrified many neighborhoods in the nation, shaking down locals and business owners alike, reports CNN.  People who resist them usually suffer horrific deaths at the hands of the gang.

As a result, according to geologist Dr. Richard Teeuw, chunks of rock would fall into the sea which would cause the tsunami waves. Residents of the island would hardly have any time to escape to safe ground.
