US worried about Kenya

2009-05-13 12:06

Nairobi - The top US diplomat for Africa says the Obama administration is worried that friction between rival parties in Kenya's coalition government could lead to violence similar to that which nearly tore the country apart last year.

US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson said that should not be allowed to happen.

Carson was speaking to journalists on Tuesday after meeting with President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who lead rival parties within the government.

Carson was making his first trip to Africa since assuming office last week.

Kibaki and Odinga signed a power sharing deal in February 2008 after a deadly dispute over presidential results left more than 1 000 people dead.

Ridwaan Moola says... Mr Anthony, I know of a few incidents in history that hold white suicide bombers... Are they Christian,Jewish , Muslim ??? Never stated! It's a belief that has been made to be true within the media that Muslims project violence... U talk about petty theft, and that suicide bombing being the worst of crime.. In MY OPINION , can a crime of any nature be called the worst? To the person who has suffered the crime is not their violation the worst... I ask this based on a person who may have been hijacked? A person who may have been raped or even gang raped ? A mother , sister , wife , daughter , son , husband , father ect who has lost a loved one due to the greed and violence of another ?? I think that statement should be thought of properly my friend , islam forbids any type of malice toward anyone,and in fact promotes tolerance amongst everyone... I'm not here to give you a lecture on the promotion of religion,as I'm sure no religion believes in harming another... But in reality, the only known religion according to the media that has a violent streak is Islam, take note of any past or future article of a crime, the persons religion is never brought in , nationality or race is the description ! It's a wonder what the world , or should I say, who in the world ?? wants us to believe what's in the media , I think it's time we all used logic instead of just following the masses... And I thank you for the last statement in your response, I for one do not condone the killing of innocent ppl Read the article...
