 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Kenya's president and the opposition leader signed a power-sharing deal Thursday to bring the country back from the depths of violence and ethnic hatred that followed the disputed presidential election two months ago.
After weeks of frustrating negotiations, President Mwai Kibaki and his rival Raila Odinga gave terse smiles for the cameras and shook hands as onlookers applauded enthusiastically.
Under the agreement, the opposition leader will become prime minister and have the power to "coordinate and supervise" the government — more authority than Kibaki wanted to yield.
