In February 2008, as post-election violence raged across Kenya and the death toll climbed past a thousand, former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan arrived in Nairobi. He had 41 days. He brought together Kibaki and Odinga, two men who would barely look at each other, and used diplomacy, pressure and sheer persistence to extract an agreement. The National Accord, signed on 28 February 2008, created a power-sharing government and stopped the killing. It was not justice. It was not a resolution. But it was a ceasefire, and it saved Kenya from collapsing into civil war.
