Annan takes on Kenya peace role

NAIROBI, Kenya (CNN) -- Former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan will take over mediation efforts in the dispute over Kenya's presidential elections, a U.S. diplomat told CNN Thursday.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Jendayi Frazer said she hoped Annan would take over "sooner rather than later," and that the United States "continues to urge dialogue under the auspices of Kofi Annan."
