Death Toll in Kenya Reaches 486 Following Disputed Election

HeadlineJan 07, 2008

In Kenya, at least 486 people have now died in violence following Kenya’s disputed presidential election. Some 250,000 people have been displaced from their homes. Opposition leader Raila Odinga has refused an offer by President Kibaki to form a government of national unity.

Raila Odinga: “So I think it is an insult to the intelligence of the people of this country that somebody who knows clearly that he did not win the elections is inviting people to a government of national unity.”

But a spokesperson for the opposition said Odinga is willing to discuss a coalition government with genuine power sharing.
