Kenya peace talks resume

Kenya’s opposing political forces resumed peace talks today, in a bid to end weeks of violence that has wracked the East African country once considered one of the most stable on the continent.

The meetings, mediated by former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, came after the two sides agreed on a two-week plan to try to end ethnic clashes that followed the December 27 presidential election, which foreign and local observers said was rigged.
