Indirectly related, as this athlete participated in the Olympic Games.
There has been a very disturbing trend of gender based violence against athletes, particularly long distance runners in Kenya. This violent act involving an Ugandan runner based in Kenya who suffered severe burns after being set on fire.

As much as we (myself included) criticize (with good reason) the content and tone of the NYT, I think they have a bit more detail and context to the story on why this case may be as about gender-based violence as it is about a land dispute.

In either case, I don’t think this issue has gotten nearly enough attention.
