Kenya talks resume with hopes for a deal

By MALKHADIR M. MUHUMED, Associated Press Writer



On Saturday, opposition leader Raila Odinga told supporters that Kibaki "must step down or there must be a re-election — in this I will not be compromised." Two days earlier, he had indicated he would not insist on Kibaki's resignation.
Odinga has flipped between harsh rhetoric and conciliatory gestures as the talks have dragged on. On Sunday, he said he was prepared for "giving and taking."
Odinga's supporters have applied their own pressure. In his stronghold in western Kenya, they have threatened to burn down his farm and a large molasses factory owned by his family if he returns as anything less than president.
