Six top politicians from Kenya have been summoned to appear at the International Criminal Court in April to answer charges of crimes against humanity in connection with Kenya’s election violence in 2007 and 2008. The men, whose names were first cited by the prosecutor in December, include Uhuru Kenyatta, finance minister and son of Kenya’s founding leader; Mohammed Hussein Ali, the former police chief; and several other ministers. Coinciding with the court’s announcement, Kenyan government envoys have arrived at the United Nations in New York, seeking to block the move.
