<p>Following a visit from a top U.S. State Department official in January, President
Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga, the main opposition leader, agreed to begin negotiating,
in an effort to restore stability after riots broke out over a close
presidential election in December. <br></p><p><br></p><p>The capitalist media has presented the
fighting as “unavoidable tribal violence,” seeking to shift blame onto Kenyan
working people rather than the economic and social conditions they face, and
the imperialist powers and local capitalist politicians who perpetuate those
conditions. Some 250,000 people have
fled their homes to avoid the fighting.<span style="">
</span><br></p><p><br></p><p>Some 16 million Kenyans, half the population, scrape out a living on
less than $1 per day, most in drought-stricken farms in the rural areas. Britain
is the old colonial power in Kenya and remains economically dominant in the
country. But the Kenyan government also provides Washington with an important
platform in east Africa for its “global war on terror” and is an important
economic hub for imperialist interests in the region. The Bush administration
announced it will give $14 million for equipment and “antiterrorist” training
for Kenyan security forces.</p><p><br><o:p></o:p></p>
