Kenya church fire kills 50 who fled mob
NAIROBI, Kenya - A mob torched a church sheltering hundreds of Kenyans fleeing election violence Tuesday, killing up to 50 people as four days of rioting and ethnic clashes marked some of the darkest times in this country’s history
President Mwai Kibaki - sworn in Sunday in a vote that opponents say was rigged — said political parties should meet immediately and publicly call for calm. The violence has killed at least 270 people in what had been east Africa’s most stable and prosperous democracy. The opposition candidate, Raila Odinga, refused the offer.
