Kenya crisis talks to resume

Nairobi: Talks to end Kenya's escalating political crisis were set to resume on Monday after weekend clashes left at least 74 people dead.

The political unrest has stirred up ethnic clashes, economic and land disputes that have killed more than 1,000 people and left at least 300,000 displaced.

Former UN chief Kofi Annan is leading talks between representatives of President Mwai Kibaki and opposition chief Raila Odinga.

Odinga claims that Kibaki's re-election was rigged, sparking ethnic clashes between their supporters.

In a new deal, the two called for illegal militias to be disbanded and for the investigation of all crimes. Both sides also promised to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

On Sunday, Odinga called for the deployment of foreign peacekeepers, saying security forces were not impartial in crackdowns.
