"Compromise was necessary for the survival of this country," Annan said at the signing of the deal on Thursday. Kenya's latest elections saw incumbent President Kibaki defeat Odinga in a race opposition supporters claim was rigged. Riots and looting occurred nationwide, blocking trade routes and killing over hundreds. Aid agencies estimate nearly half a million people have been displaced by the conflict.
