Pressure seem to be mounting on the bandit president on daily basis. If he thinks he will keep power then let it be known that it will not happen wether he goes to hell on foot and comes back on a bicycle.


For sure nobody is going to let Kibaki steal votes and get away without some kind of penalty. Its bad for democracy and it sends wrong signals to would be thieves.

ODM has most probably not gotten all they wanted but I guess that they will be satisfied that some partial justice has been done.

No 'conclusive agreement' in Kenya talks: govt

NAIROBI (AFP) — Talks led by Kofi Annan to end the crisis over Kenya's disputed presidential election have yielded no "conclusive agreement," chief government negotiator Martha Karua said Thursday.

"We are still talking and we have not agreed conclusively," Karua, the minister for justice and constitutional affairs, told reporters.

"No conclusive agreement has been reached."

A spokesman for Annan earlier announced that an agreement had been signed Thursday during the talks aimed at pulling the country out of turmoil that has left more than 1,000 people dead.

The former UN secretary general has called a news conference for Friday to "outline what was agreed in 48 hours of discussion at a location outside the capital", said a UN statement.

Kenya descended into violence after President Mwai Kibaki, 76, was declared the winner of the December 27 vote that the opposition said was rigged. International observers also found flaws in the tallying of ballots.

Annan had been pushing for a power-sharing agreement to resolve the dispute over the result of the presidential election that unleashed nationwide violence.

But the Associated Press is contradicting the AFP.


UN: Kenya Political Rivals Sign Deal

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Political rivals trying to lead Kenya out of weeks of violence that left more than 1,000 people dead signed an agreement Thursday, a U.N. spokesman said, but no details were released and the talks were to continue next week.

Former U.N. chief Kofi Annan, who is mediating the discussions, will release the text of the agreement Friday afternoon, said the spokesman, Nasser Ega-Musa.

Annan and the negotiators have been holed up in an undisclosed location for two days to try to hammer out agreements following a dispute over who won Dec. 27 presidential election.

A news blackout on the peace talks appeared to be holding; both parties have declined to comment on the discussions.

Opposition leader Raila Odinga accuses President Mwai Kibaki of stealing the Dec. 27 vote, and domestic and international observers have said was deeply flawed.

Odinga and Kibaki have been under pressure to share power as a solution. The election unleashed weeks of violence, killing more than 1,000 people and forcing 600,000 to flee their homes.

The talks are being held at a safari lodge in the Tsavo West National Park in southern Kenya. Top negotiators said Tuesday that the opposition was proposing sharing power with the government for two years, then holding new elections.
