Kenyan Leader and Opponent to Meet

According to The Associated Press:

Kenyan joined in prayers at International Christian Church in Nairobi, Kenya, Sunday, Jan. 6, 2008, to pray for the country after bloody violence that was due to the Dec. 27, 2007 elections. President Mwai Kibaki told the top U.S. diplomat for Africa that he was willing to share power and the opposition backed off demands for his resignation, offering hope for an end to Kenya's deadly electoral crisis. As Kibaki and Raila Odinga faced growing pressure to compromise, the violence that has killed more than 300 people across the country appeared to ease in the capital for the first time since the disputed vote that gave the president a second term and awakened dormant ethnic rivalries.
