KITALE, Kenya (AP) - The army on Monday used heavy firepower to crack down on a group linked to bloody clashes over land, officials in western Kenya said, a day before parliament was to debate and possibly adopt a power-sharing deal.
The violence in the western Mount Elgon region underlines how difficult it will be for Kenya to retreat from the edge of violent breakup, even though politicians who clashed bitterly for weeks over a disputed presidential election now are talking peace.
Fred Kapondi, a Mount Elgon member of parliament, said people are fleeing "aerial bombing and harassment from the army."
