Kenyan women in rape protest
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3149427.stm

A Kenyan delegation has presented a petition on behalf of hundreds of alleged victims of rape by British soldiers.

Dozens of women in bright tribal dress stood outside the British High Commission in Nairobi singing and waving banners.

Many of them brought along mixed race children

The alleged crimes which stretch back over three decades took place in central Kenya where the British army runs training exercises.

"Look at his skin," shouted one woman.

"His father is a British soldier who raped me."
