Kenya's Ethnic Challenge


Fierce tribal clashes brought on by the disputed Presidential election have nearly ceased. At least 1,000 people were killed in the violence that followed the poll. A reported 600,000 Kenyan's have been displaced and over 60,000 are now in refugee camps across Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.

There are encouraging reports of a possible agreement at talks between the government and opposition. Mediator Kofi Annan will give details of an agreement between the two sides on Friday.

Here is a picture of Kenya's larger tribes and the regions that they inhabit.
