Tapping away furiously at her well-worn keyboard, close to tears, Ory Okolloh feared Kenya was on the brink of civil war. A media blackout ushered the country into 2008, ensuring there was little coverage of a crisis that would go on to claim more than 1100 lives and displace more than a quarter of a million people.

Okolloh, a prominent lawyer, recalls the contested Kenyan election of late 2007: ''There was a realisation that we're not that far from a civil war. There was fear and anger, and a sense of community soon grew. It spiralled completely when people were struggling to find out what was going on, including journalists.''

Widespread protests escalated into ethnic violence as the president, Mwai Kibaki, was declared to have been re-elected on December 30, 2007. Raila Odinga, leader of the opposition, claimed the vote was rigged. Okolloh took to the internet as her country turned to ruins.
