Activist Cuts Dreadlocks as Moi Era Ends


A leading Kenyan activist shaved his dreadlocks to celebrate the retirement of President Daniel arap Moi, fulfilling a vow he made 13 years ago not to cut his hair until his old adversary left power.

Koigi wa Wamwere said he would offer his shoulder-length locks to Kenya's national museum as a monument to his long fight for democracy under Moi, who stepped down last week.
