Nairobi: Former UN chief Kofi Annan on Tuesday opened formal mediation to try to end Kenya's post-election crisis.
Annan opened the meeting in the Kenyan capital Nairobi flanked by President Mwai Kibaki and opposition leader Raila Odinga in a bid to pull together both sides to strike a political deal and stanch violence threatening to spiral out of control.
Western nations have urged both sides - who appear far apart - to take the talks seriously or risk losing aid.
