The Kenyan government has begun talks with the opposition to try and resolve a political feud following a series of violent protests over the high cost of living and calls for electoral reforms.

Veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga has organised a series of demonstrations in recent months.

Officials say at least 20 people have been killed in clashes between the security forces and protesters.

However, activists say the figure is much higher.

The unrest has provoked alarm at home and abroad and prompted calls for mediation to end the standoff.
