In pictures: Kenya polls violence

Fresh violence has left scores dead in Kenya following allegations of rigging and foul play at last week's presidential elections.

President Mwai Kibaki was named the winner. Violence erupted almost immediately after the announcement.

Armed riot police have been called in to prevent opposition supporters from entering the centre of the capital, Nairobi.

The public has been urged to stay away from the capital's centre, which is deserted.

In the opposition stronghold of Kibera, looters have swept through the slum, ransacking stores and setting cars and other property on fire.

Riot police removed barricades in an attempt to restore order.

There have been running battles between police firing teargas and mobs armed with clubs and machetes.

Witnesses say the police fired live bullets after protesters threw stones.

Police officers detained opposition supporters in Kibera.

Some residents have fled the violent clashes.
