Kenya strikes a deal

I’ve been at meetings on the outskirts of Kampala all week. On Wednesday, I was in meetings from 8:30am till 11:30pm, and Kofi Annan announced that he was suspending the talks between PNU (Kibaki government) and ODM (Raila opposition). On Thursday, I was only in meetings from 8:45am till 10pm, and Kenya announced that Kibaki and Raila had struck a deal, making Raila a Prime Minister with executive powers.

So things are better, definitely better. In fact, one can almost function under those conditions. But still, things are not ‘normalized’ yet, and there is a ways to go yet till we’ll be operating at our maximum ability.
