The people of Kenya are caught between hope and fear. After two months of post-election violence that has left 1000 people dead, the final touches are being added to a power-sharing agreement that creates a Prime Minister's post for the leader of the opposition. The deal is a tribute to the negotiating skills of ex-UN secretary general Kofi Annan and could form the basis for a fresh political beginning for this fractured country that was once seen as the African model for peace and stability. Government and opposition negotiators had already agreed measures to contain the violence, address the humanitarian situation and review the constitution, but until two days ago power-sharing was a main sticking point.
