Kenya leaders tour violence-scarred areas
USA TODAY

ELDORET, Kenya (AP) — Kenya’s president and prime minister are touring the areas hardest hit by the country’s deadly postelection violence.

President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga are planning to address a rally in Eldoret. They’re also planning to visit some of the 60,000 people living in camps there since the outbreak of violence following Kenya’s disputed Dec. 27 presidential election.

Both their claims of victory sparked weeks of fighting that left more than 1,000 Kenyans dead. Kibaki and Odinga have agreed to share power to resolve the dispute. The two leaders arrived in Eldoret in western Kenya on Thursday morning.
