Kenya's Odinga calls off street protests

ABC News: "NAIROBI (Reuters) - Kenya's opposition leader Raila Odinga on Wednesday called off street protests that had been set to press the government to strike a power-sharing deal to end the country's post-election crisis.
Odinga and President Mwai Kabaki have come under pressure from at home and abroad to compromise over Kibaki's disputed re-election in a December 27 vote, which sparked ethnic violence that killed 1,000 people and made 300,000 flee their homes."
