Stephen Morrison, director of the CSIS Africa Program, was quoted by the Wall Street Journal, "Violence Grows in Kenya."
Kenya's marred presidential vote and the violence that has spiraled from it are threatening an island of stability in the otherwise volatile horn of Africa, as well as endangering U.S. counterterrorism efforts in the region.
At least 260 people have been killed so far in fighting that broke out after election officials over the weekend said sitting President Mwai Kibaki won last week's presidential election and international observers criticized voting irregularities.
"There's an enormous amount at stake for the U.S." in restoring order, says Stephen Morrison, director of the Africa program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
