Bosnia's religious leaders
say politicians are
standing in the way of
peaceful coexistence
between Muslim, Jewish
and Christian
communities trying to
forgive and forget after
the atrocities of a
devastating 1990s war.

The Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Cathedral dates to 1888.
Hundreds of churches,
mosques and synagogues
bear witness to more than
five centuries of Bosnia's
multi-faith past, and the
capital Sarajevo is known
locally as a "small Jerusalem"
with its main ethnic groups -
Orthodox Serbs, Catholic
Croats and Muslim Bosniaks -
all worshipping within
metres of each other.

Shishman Ibrahim Pasha Mosque dates to 1562 and is a single-dome mosque.
But Mufti Husein
Kavazovic, head of the
Islamic community in
Bosnia, says people of faith
cannot achieve peace
alone.
"It is up to political elites to
do more. For a start, it
would be good that they
stop their ideological
manipulation of religion for
their own political goals. It
is up to us, of course, not
to allow them to do that,"
he said.

Friar Zeljko Brkic at Kraljeva Sutjeska - among the oldest Franciscan monasteries in Bosnia
and dating from 1385 - said: "Bosnia can only survive as a multi-ethnic state, no matter how
much politicians try to convince us that this is not possible."
His Orthodox, Jewish and Muslim peers agree.

"It is very important that we have here
different cultures and religions, and that
based on that we can easily build and
verify our own identities," said

part of the country.

People wait for election results in Kibera, Kenya's biggest slum, on Aug. 9, 2017 outside
Nairobi, Kenya. Tensions remain high as rumors of election fraud surround the
presidential election between incumbent president Uhuru Kenyatta and his rival Raila
Odinga.
Kenyan police opened fire to disperse rioters in several areas after presidential
challenger Raila Odinga alleged election fraud, saying hackers used the identity of a
murdered official to infiltrate the database of the election commission and manipulate
results in favor of President Uhuru Kenyatta. At least three people were killed.
Election officials were verifying the final tallies Wednesday night. It was unclear how
long it would take, though by law election officials have up to a week from the election
to announce the results.
