...civilian rule for the first time since 2006 and, more or less, to a situation of normalcy - due largely to the coup leaders' willingness to stand by their word not to interfere in December's elections.

The refugees bring horror stories of torched homes, murdered family members and bloodthirsty mobs. Ethnic clashes between the tribes loyal to incumbent President Mwai Kibaki, a Kikuyu, and opposition leader Raila Odinga, a Luo, have been a particularly ugly aspect of the post-poll conflict.
