The African Union has appealed for calm and called for dialogue following opposition protests in Kenya that have turned violent and left three people dead since last week.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga called for demonstrations to protest against the high cost of living and what he calls electoral justice after last year’s election.
In a statement, AU Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat urged stakeholders to exercise calm and engage in dialogue to address any differences.
He said the conduct of elections last year was “successful” and the outcome confirmed by the Supreme Court.
Kenyan religious leaders have also called for unconditional talks between President William Ruto and Mr Odinga. END.
