KENYAN VIOLENCE A CAUSE FOR CONCERN

TWENTY-ONE embassies and the European Commission in Kenya have expressed concern over an increase in political violence in Kenya in recent weeks. In a statement released through the Canadian High Commission, the foreign envoys made reference to several incidents of violence at recent political rallies in various parts of the country. The disruptions came after President Daniel arap Moi called earlier this year on police not to licence opposition rallies. – AFP
