Albanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Lulzim BashaSecretary Condoleezza Rice Washington, DC January 29, 200810:45 a.m. EST
QUESTION: Madame Secretary, any reaction to the latest violence in Kenya?
SECRETARY RICE: One, to maintain calm. It's deeply concerning. There needs to be a political resolution of this conflict. The election was not one that inspired confidence in the Kenyan people and, therefore, there needs to be a political arrangement, a political solution between the major opposition candidate and the president. We very much support what former Secretary General Kofi Annan is doing, and I plan to talk with him later today or tomorrow about what more the United States and others can do to support his efforts.
Thank you.
