In Nairobi, children in blue uniforms trooped through traffic jams back to school, a sign of normalcy that belies the deep political and ethnic tensions that have battered the country since a disputed Dec. 27 vote. At least 575 people have died in the violence, according to the Kenyan Red Cross. Nairobi resident Linda Onguka expressed her frustration over current crisis. "While they still decide on what to do, people are being killed, said Onguka. "I think they should come to an agreement because people are just waiting for them to meet and I think that is when the violence will stop." Opposition leader Raila Odinga accuses President Mwai Kibaki of stealing the election, which has been mired in so much controversy even the head of the country's electoral commission has said he does not know who won. Odinga's party has called for more protests Wednesday through Friday in an effort to step up pressure on Kibaki. Violent street protests nationwide trashed cities and burned countless homes to the ground, leaving 250,000 people displaced. Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was expected Tuesday to take over mediation efforts. The British Foreign Office has said Annan will work with Graca Machel, the wife of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nelson Mandela, and former Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa. Intense international pressure has failed to push Kibaki and Odinga into face-to-face talks. The 222-seat parliament opens Tuesday and lawmakers are expected to elect a speaker and a deputy speaker. No party has the needed two-thirds majority to ensure the election of their candidate, setting the stage for intense lobbying on both sides. Meanwhile, U.S.-based rights group Human Rights Watch said police were behind dozens of deaths in the country's postelection turmoil, opening fire on both looters and opposition protesters under an unofficial "shoot to kill" policy.
