Kenya's opposition party has called for mass protests and rallies next week. The Orange Democratic Movement is planning rallies in more than 20 locations on Jan. 16, 17 and 18. "Kenyans are entitled to protest peacefully " said ODM secretary-general Anyang Nyongo. Police Commissioner Mohamed Hussein Ali said the protests would not be allowed

Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan would take over mediation efforts in the dispute as African Union chairman John Kufuor, Ghana's president, had left Kenya without a resolution to the dispute.
