President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga met face-to-face in Nairobi Thursday for the first time since post-election violence erupted in Kenya a month ago. Both claim to have won the election - see my earlier post for more details.
So, the deal now is that Odinga is demanding a new election and co-equal partnership in a transition government. Kibaki refuses offering at most "a few minor cabinet posts," according to the NYTimes article today.
Enthusiasm from the initiation of talks lost steam, however, as quarreling took the form of statements to the press. The stalemate continues. Stay tuned.
