By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Kenya's opposition leader on Monday canceled planned nationwide protest rallies, amid fears they could ignite new bloodletting.
Raila Odinga said he wanted to give mediation a chance, noting Ghana's President John Kufuor, the current chairman of the African Union, was expected soon on a mediation mission. Odinga made the announcement at a news conference after meeting with US envoy Jendayi Frazer and after the government said the proposed demonstrations were illegal and could provoke violence.
