From Patrick...
"the potent issue of land rights raises its head once again.
The best, and worst, time to map Kibera."
Indeed .. a critical time to start mapping
** Kenya begins huge slum clearance **
Kenyan officials begin to clear Africa's largest slum - a project
which could take five years to complete.

to Map Kibera
It is my understanding that, by best estimates, there are close to 1
million people living in Kibera. If they could move 1000 people per
week, it would take almost 20 years to move them all. So far, not
considering when it actually "began," they have moved 600.
