When asked by the psychiatrist what shocked them the most, one journalist (identity withheld) said that he was shocked “…to see people you have been living with for years turn against you and even kill your relatives…people you have shared with in times of grief and joy”. He was sharing this during a group trauma counseling session for journalists carried out by Dr. Sobbie Mulindi1.
Mental health experts acknowledge that covering a violent conflict can create serious health problems for journalists and photographers who often find themselves in the frontline of the events to get the images and the stories. Thus, they often experience or witness traumatizing incidents and many of them will struggle to cope with the impact.

It is in the unprecedented wave of politically motivated violence that was triggered by the 2007 electoral process that media practitioners found themselves at the heart of the events and witnessed firsthand, gross abuse of human rights. More than 1,000 Kenyans were killed and over 500,000 displaced by the crisis. Such disturbing images can take a toll on any human being irrespective of the community they come from or their profession.
The gruesome images may haunt them for the rest of their lives and may threaten their mental well-being if the problem is not adequately addressed through trauma counseling. Evidence gathered and symptoms reported among Kenyan media practitioners ranged from anxiety and depression to emotional numbness and substance abuse. The fact that the post traumatic stress was threatening the sanity of the workplace in several media houses was a cause for alarm.

As a rapid response strategy, International Media Support2 (IMS) organized the Nairobi Round Table meeting in February 2008 and discussions arising from editors and media representatives present identified the challenges that media practitioners and media houses had been facing prior to, during and after the December 27 2007, Presidential Election. One of the needs identified was that “journalists and media practitioners are traumatized but are lacking counseling to deal with the post-violence trauma and the self denial”.
The counseling sessions were subsequently organized by the Kenya Association of Photographers, Illustrators, and Designers (KAPIDE) as one of the imminent and crucial needs for support to Kenyan media practitioners having witnessed some of the worst things that can happen to humanity with no equipment to protect themselves and no tools to handle the emotional shock.

The counseling sessions were held in five locations across the country worst hit by the violence namely Nairobi, Nakuru, Edoret, Kisumu and finally Mombasa. In total, 150 journalists went through the hands of the psychiatrists and as Festus Amimo, a journalist based in Kisumu put it, “…received a full dose of what the doctor saw fit for him”.
While delivering a speech on behalf of Dr Bitange Ndemo3 at the opening ceremony of the Post-election Trauma Counseling Sessions for journalists in Nairobi, Mr. Peter Alubale4 said that the suffering of journalists is not appreciated by TV, Radio and Newspaper audiences. He went on to say that, “Journalists like all of us are human, with feelings, concerns, and needs”.
In the ‘Post Election Violence in Kenya’ presentation, Dr. Mulindi identified the disaster experiences as: sexual assault, interpersonal violence, selective victimization, evictions, revenge actions, and criminal activities. He also delved into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and almost everyone in the room had either one or more of these experiences: recurrent and intrusive distressing recollections, distressing dreams (nightmares), reliving the experience, flashback, illusions, / hallucinations, numbing and hyperactive arousal.

Tervil Okoko who is the Chair of the Kenya Union of Journalists (KUJ) officially opened the Nakuru sessions and noted that some of the journalists from the town like Simon Siele had been displaced from their former homes and coined a new term that was used throughout the sessions; IDJ’s (Internally Displaced Journalists) from the acronym IDP’s (Internally Displaced Persons).

A visibly shaken Michael Oongo in Kisumu said “I hope the images of a very young boy threatening to hack me will go away”. After undergoing the counseling, a journalist who attended the Eldoret trauma counseling sessions later gathered enough strength and voluntarily wrote of his experience:
At one time when covering the extent of the post-election violence, I had to ask for permission from a gang leader to enter a small shopping center in the Rift valley province where groups of youths were vandalizing steel doors and windows in broad daylight. The one thing that shocked me the most was that this was happening less than 500 meters from a police station.
I witnessed police from another Police station in the Rift valley collect 10 bodies with deep cuts and arrows lodged in the bodies. One of the bodies had a pungent smell, was swollen and had safari ants all over it.
I also witnessed residents of a small center in the Rift, jamming the local police station carrying the body of an elderly man who was killed as police escorted farmers to harvest in their farms near a forest.

During the Eldoret sessions, Bernard Kwalia said that he was just glad to be alive to undergo the trauma counseling sessions. He had been spared death in Mt. Elgon simply because he had identified himself as a journalist. The killers sent him away to report the atrocities in a bid to instill more fear in the public. The three people captured along with him were killed and he was forced to watch.
In a true story submitted anonymously during the counseling sessions in Kisumu, one journalist wrote of his experience:
“Oh please God, don’t let it be, please, I don’t want to find him here”. These were the words of a young girl who had taken her search for her big brother to the provincial mortuary. My first instinct was to move closer and do the necessary as a journalist, ask a few questions. Before I could get to her, she let out a loud painful scream; she had just seen her brother’s body among a pile that had been brought in the previous night.
I quietly folded my notebook and decided to forgo the interview as I was overwhelmed by her pain at the discovery. I put myself in her shoes and imagined if it was me, who had just found out that someone close had suffered the same fate. For the rest of that day, I did not work as I worried about my safety and that of my family. I wondered why no one had called from the office to ask about my wellbeing and general safety especially after a shooting incident in my neigbourhood earlier that day. My conclusion was that as long as I submitted a news item to be broadcast, nobody really cared about how it came about or the hardship involved.

Yegon Evans, a journalist who attended the Nakuru sessions made a true but alarming remark when he shared that it was a new dawn as some of them (local journalists) were not even shaking hands. He said under heavy breath, “I hope that changes”. Journalists in Nakuru had formed cliques inline with their political affiliations. It was towards the closing of the counseling sessions, Yegon confessed that “The sessions had helped burry differences and allay fears and suspicions among the journalists”.

Still in Nakuru, one of the psychiatrists captured this story from one journalist5:
This reporter has been in the profession for 20 years. He has been covering the North Eastern area, Somali and Sudan. He has always covered deaths and destruction of property for many years. He was involved in an accident a month before the elections. Just after the elections, he witnessed a man being beaten in a bar in Garissa. He called the police to come and rescue the man. But on taking him to hospital, he died. The police came and beat the residents in the area who then got angry with the journalist for reporting the matter. He was under siege in his home. Later he managed to get away and made it to Nairobi to attend a doctor’s appointment.
When he went to his employer’s office in Nairobi after seeing the doctor, he was sent to Nairobi’s Eastlands to cover the political skirmishes. He didn’t object to it but instead went straight to town and took a bus to Garissa. He stayed there for a few days and was called again to cover stories on IDPs in Eldoret. He witnessed a woman being gang-raped by four men. He was shocked that these men committed the crime in front of the camera. He was helpless but tried to assist the woman by calling the police who arrived and got the men in the act but did not rescue the woman, instead they were furious and asked “Is this what we have been called here for?” they left without rescuing the poor lady.
In Eldoret, he witnessed mass destruction of property, people being killed by live bullets from police who were pursuing looters but ended up killing even the peaceful demonstrators. He witnessed people being killed by being burnt alive in their houses and churches where some had gone to take refuge. Many children had been abandoned, schools had been burnt, roads barricaded, there was no communication since there was no airtime, shops were closed and hence no food for several days. It was chaos.
The reporter survived only on water. He worked in a very risky environment. He is still based in Eldoret and vows to do his best to become one of the most recognized journalists.

George K’ouma6 was very concerned that journalism had now become an endangered profession in Kenya, especially after the recent spate of post-polls violence. “There was a journalist who lost his wife (all names withheld) because the militia knew he was a journalist, perceived to side with a rival political faction”.
William Oloo Janak7 on the other hand noted that there has been no proactive engagement from the media fraternity. KCA8, KAPIDE, and KUJ are conducting counseling sessions for 150 journalists based in five towns of the worst hit districts. With the vast number of journalists across the country, this initiative barely scratches the surface as there is an immense need for trauma counseling. Mr. Oloo said that “No media house has so far conducted trauma counseling for its in-house or permanent journalists”.
Most journalists at the sessions shared the opinion that the ‘No Crisis, No Counseling’ policy should not be endorsed and called for the Counseling Sessions to be a sustained program. This was in light of the fact that journalists are exposed to potentially traumatizing situations everyday in their line of work. The most feared enemy to press freedom according to Mr. Okoko9 used to be an underpaid journalist because he was corruptible. He went on to say that “Now, the newest enemy we have to press freedom is a traumatized journalist, he can plunge the country into disarray”.

The trauma counseling sessions according to Bernard Okebe, a journalist based in Kisumu, will add up to the healing and reconciliation process the country is pursuing.
At the end of it all, almost all participants identified with the statement: ‘I thought I had it tough, but hearing what others went through, I now see that I was better off’.
