The UN Security Council has made its first official response to the unrest in Kenya, calling on Kenya's political leaders to solve the crisis there through "dialogue, negotiation and compromise." The council expressed concern at the "dire humanitarian situation."
Nearly 1,000 Kenyans have been killed in the violence and 300,000 displaced.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga has accused President Mwai Kibaki of rigging the presidential election. Foreign ministers from Djibouti, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Somalia have arrived in Nairobi for a meeting of the East African regional group, Igad, on Thursday to discuss the crisis.
