Kenya Peace Talks to Occur Tomorow
February 22, 2008
For those of you who are following the travesty that is now Kenyan politics, peace talks should be coming tomorow according to
NEGOTIATORS NEAR DEAL TO STOP KENYAN VIOLENCE, a CNN article published on 2/21/08 by an unknown author. The violence has been going on for a couple months now has claimed the lives of about 1,000 people (CNN). The two leading parties, the Party of National Unity and the Orange Democratic Movement have been meeting with Kofi Annan the former UN Secratary General to try and fix the issue (CNN). Ultimately they are looking to nominate a prime minister agreeable to both sides and to change the role of the PM thus changing the Kenyan Constitution (CNN). Although this provides a solution to the problem, it is only temporary, this same issue over “rigged elections” could easily rise again. It is necessary to not simply change the cover of the issue but the CONTENT of the issue.
