Nairobi: Kenyan riot police patrolled the capital on Saturday as rival tribes faced off in a southwest town.
In Narok town, paramilitaries guarded empty streets while hundreds of members of President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe, armed with bows and arrows, faced pro-opposition Maasais.
A total of six people died on Friday as the two sides fought, Police had to retreat late on Friday when they ran out of tear gas. Reinforcements arrived early on Saturday.
Tension stayed high despite opposition leader Raila Odinga's statement on Friday that his Orange Democratic Movement would end violent protests.
About 650 people have been killed since Kibaki won a disputed December 27 election.
