These stories are so old it's not even funny.
For example I was passing through Eldoret, Kenya in 2008.
One thing on the television back then was the leader of the Mount Elgon rebels making pronouncements about justice and so on. It was very local news for El Doret. You can see the mountain from town. I was going to cycle out that way the next day.
They interviewed a general from the Kenyan army afterward and it reassured me. He looked annoyed. "I don't know what he was doing on television making these outrageous pronouncements. The only thing I know is that he is dead. We shot him and then we checked his finger prints. He's definitely dead."
The next day was sunny and good cycling. People were out and about in droves.

Awesome story, Dan! So where are you right now?
Oh Dan, you and your astonishingly low standards for personal safety.
