Ethnic fighting once again engulfed Kenya's western Rift Valley, where 800 people have died since the outburst of violence following the presidential elections in the end of December.

The latest wave of violence spread to the town of Naivasha, where there are cases of people burned alive in their homes, the Red Cross said, as cited by CNN.

Witnesses report of brutal attacks by members of President Mwai Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe on other ethnic groups, as hundreds of people carrying machetes, clubs and rocks, confronted each other on Monday on a main Naivasha road.

The leader of the opposition Orange Democratic Movement (OMD) Raila Odinga blamed the Kibaki government for orchestrating the violence in order "to divert attention from election malpractice to security and violence."

The former UN Chief Kofi Annan is currently holding talks in Kenya in an attempt to resolve the crisis, which sparked after Kibaki was declared president for the second time.
