...problem that some countries do less than their fair share is threatening to break out into a fresh round of transatlantic mud-slinging. "We have made no secret about it that there are certain allies that are in much more dangerous parts of the country, " U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said this week. And we believe very strongly there ought to be a sharing of that burden throughout the Alliance." NATO currently has about 40,000 troops in the country, but its officials say it needs another 7,500, especially in the south...

The fate of two referendum issues in Saturday's ballot (both failed to garner enough votes - or voter interest - to be seriously considered) would also make the controversial U.N. referendum in March unlikely to pass...
...Bush Administration gave the government of President Mwai Kibaki about $1 billion in military and other aid. And there are special-operations soldiers based in Kenya at Manda Bay, on the coast just south of Somalia. The instability in Kenya has so alarmed the Administration that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reached out for help to an unlikely ally: Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama, whose father was from western Kenya and who has relatives near the city of Kisumu, the scene of some of the worst violence. Obama recorded a message, aired on the Voice of America, calling for calm...
