Kenya: Political Crisis, Violence Continue

Violence stemming from Kenya’s disputed presidential election continued to plague the country, especially in the Rift Valley. Naivasha, a town popular with tourists and expatriates just 55 miles northwest of Nairobi, was overrun by murderous gangs over the weekend and tourists had to be escorted to Nairobi from nearby lodges. The killing of an opposition politician Jan. 28 sparked more violence, and former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan is in Nairobi trying to mediate a settlement. Tribal animosities have been laid bare in the violence and arriving at a lasting solution will take time.
