U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Kenya on Saturday in the middle of her seven nation tour of Africa.

Clinton is in Nairobi to meet with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga, partners in a coalition government that was formed in 2008 after violence in which more than 1,000 Kenyans were after disputed 2007 elections.

The secretary of state was expected to discuss Kenya's upcoming elections in 2013 and press leaders to ensure that there is no repeat of the chaotic 2007 polls.
