A Unity Government in Kenya? #
January 5th, 2008 | In Worth Knowing
The BBC is reporting:
Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki says he is ready to form a government of national unity, an official statement said. […]
But opposition leader Raila Odinga says Mr Kibaki must step down as president and that his preferred option remains for new elections to be held.
I have no doubt that this comes after at least some outside pressure. And though it’s clearly not the best outcome (which would be a truly fair election), it could certainly be better than continued violence and ethnic conflict.
