Kenya's Mess

The U.S. envoy says the vote was rigged, but either party could have been involved. Tens of thousands of Kikuyus are fleeing the violence, which is estimated to have taken nearly 500 lives and left 250,000 homeless. The NY Times has a very depressing slideshow of the devastation wrought by the violence. Odinga had called for more rallies, but now is apparently backing off of that until Ghanain president and AU chair John Kufuor arrives to mediate the conflict.
