In Kenya, mediation talks in Kenya’s post-election crisis were suspended Thursday after the killing of another opposition politician, the second this week. Former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said progress was nonetheless being achieved.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan: “Today, we have had very constructive and really accelerated talks, and I am very, very pleased with the progress we are making. We are determined, all of us here, to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and bring stability and peace to this country, but, first and foremost, we want to see the violence end.”
