| Obama urges Kenya to avoid violence as election looms |
| 2013-02-05 |
| US President Barack Obama has urged the people of Kenya, where his father was born, to avoid violence and intimidation in next month's elections. He posted the message, which begins with a greeting in Swahili, on YouTube. He said the polls were a chance for Kenyans to come together to show they were not just members of tribes or ethnic groups, but a proud nation. Kenya's disputed presidential election in 2007 descended into violence in which more than 1,000 were killed. |
