"Mr President, this situation, as all the others have said, is very tragic: it resembles very much what happened a few years ago in Addis Ababa.
I doubt whether a solution can be found without new elections. But, ideally, a solution should now be found through dialogue in Kenya, preferably supported by the African Union. But, so far, we have seen very little progress. Time is short: the fabric of the country is disintegrating as we speak.
We cannot be bystanders if the situation is not resolved. To suspend aid is a must under the present circumstances. Moreover, if reconciliation fails, the EU has to step in to offer its services to mediate. Is the Council, is the Commission prepared to do that? In the longer-term perspective, I would submit that we have to seriously reconsider not only our development cooperation but in particular our governance programme, and in particular help political parties to become real parties and, in addition to that, strengthen the institution of the Kenyan Parliament, because that is a key problem right now."@en1
