And I believe there is a responsibility on the part of all the opposition and government leaders in Kenya to call on the supporters to end the violence that is taking place. I have just talked to President Kufuor of Ghana. He is the chairman of the African Union, well respected right across Africa, someone who has promoted democratic rights in his country and throughout Africa, and I welcome his decision, that he will announce today, that he will go to Kenya, he will meet (Kenyan) President Kibaki and (opposition leader) Mr. Odinga tomorrow, he will call on them to urge their supporters to end the violence and he will work with the parties to ensure that reconciliation is brought about and perhaps a chance that some of the people who are at the moment opponents right now may join a government of national unity. I think its very important that the international community supports the efforts of President Kufour, he is trying very hard with other people to try and bring an end to the violence and we will give whatever support we can to President Kufour's mediation which will take place tomorrow.\" \u003cbr/\u003eAP Television \u003cbr/\u003eFILE: New York, US - Recent\u003cbr/\u003e2.
