Kenya
Earlier this year, Kenya had two president, an official President Uhuru Kenyatta and a self declared people’s president, Raila Odinga. According to local media, it took the U.S.’s mediation to “Pull Kenya from the Brink”.
Reports suggest that U.S. Ambassador Robert Godec played a leading role in this effort in the March 9 meeting about reconciliation between Kenyatta and Odinga. A visit by U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who arrived in Nairobi the same morning as the meeting, also played a role in the political reconciliation.
