We may not always see eye to eye, but if you make...
We already have an envoy there that feels that the voting was rigged on both sides of the aisle, but that didn’t stop Obama. Interestingly, Katherine Houreld of the AP chose to title the piece “Obama Calls Kenya Opposition Leader”, yet she cited our US envoy for the information on the staus of the situation within Kenya.
The top American envoy to Africa said Monday that the vote count at the heart of the dispute was tampered with but that both sides could have been involved. The Dec. 27 election returned Kibaki to power for another five-year term. Odinga came in a close second.
“Yes, there was rigging,” the U.S. envoy, Jendayi Frazer, told The Associated Press in an interview Monday in Nairobi, where she had met with Kibaki and Odinga over the past three days.
“I mean there were problems with the vote counting process.” She added: “Both the parties could have rigged.” She said she did not want to blame either Kibaki or Odinga.
Both sides softened their tones amid the U.S. intervention. Kenya is crucial to the war on terrorism, having turned over dozens of people to the U.S. and Ethiopia as suspected terrorists. It also allows American forces to operate from Kenyan bases and conducts joint exercises with U.S. troops in the region.
The U.S. also is a major donor to Kenya, long seen as a stable democracy in a region that includes war-ravaged Somalia and Sudan. Aid amounts to roughly $1 billion a year, said embassy spokesman T.J. Dowling.
Is Obama trying to prove that he can handle foreign relations? Based on what I see, it looks like another ‘present’ vote from his days in Illinois.
