A Starving Kenyan Woman in eastern Kenya's Kangundo district decided to invoke a dreaded tribal oath against God. She placed the curse, accusing God of sending famine. The woman died in her sleep.
The woman's curse derives from Kenya's Kamba community, known for its witchcraft. The Kenya Times newspaper reported, "She accomplished the feat at 10 a.m. and waited for the results, but God's wrath struck at night. She died peacefully in her sleep."
Three years of insufficient rains have caused President Mwai Kibaki to declare the drought a national disaster and the drought has placed more than 3 million Kenyans on the brink of starvation.
