Kenya's president and opposition leader agree to talks

President William Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga agree to hold talks aimed at ending two weeks of anti-government protests.

Kenya鈥檚 opposition leader Raila Odinga has called off anti-government protests after President William Ruto reversed his hardline approach and agreed to bipartisan talks.

Javas Bigambo, a lawyer and political strategist based in Nairobi, says the president's decision to reverse his stance and agree to dialogue should be seen as a sign of magnanimity, rather than a climbdown.
