"Kenya needs Africa"-Alpha Konare

African leaders at their summit in Ethiopia have been told they must get involved with the crisis in Kenya.AU Commission chairman Alpha Oumar Konare told them they could not just sit by.More than 850 people have died in political and ethnic clashes since last month's elections, which the opposition says were rigged.In Nairobi, talks between government and opposition have been postponed.
Mr Konare says it is the AU's duty to support the mediation process which is led by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.Substantive negotiations started for the first time on Thursday but has been adjourned until Friday after an opposition MP was shot dead by a policeman in the western town of Eldoret.The police say the killing is a domestic dispute but the opposition Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) says he was assassinated.The death of David Too has raised tensions in Eldoret, the scene of serious violence this month.
