Kofi Annan arrived in the Kenyan capital called for dialogue. "This is a challenge," he said, flanked by Graca Michel, the wife of former South African President Nelson Mandela, and former Tanzanian President Benjamin Mkapa. "We are here to listen, learn and work with the concerned parties." President Yoweri Museveni of Kenya's neighbor Uganda is also in the country and has held talks with President Mwai Kibaki.
