Fresh violence erupts in Kenya as leaders talk peace

Kericho: Youths set fire to hundreds of homes in a town in Kenya's Rift Valley on Sunday as leaders agreed on steps to end post-election violence.

Hundreds of Kericho residents fled their houses to escape the unrest. Further north, a mob surrounded the Great Harvest Evangelical Church near Eldoret town and burned it.

The latest violence comes a day after former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan brokered a peace deal between Kenya's rival parties.

"Let Annan do his bit but there's going to be no resolution. The clashes will continue," said one youth manning a roadblock near Kericho.

Riots, clashes with security forces and ethnic reprisals broke out after President Mwai Kibaki was returned to power in a December 27 poll which his rival says was rigged.
