Children displaced from their village by the recent attacks sit on a mattress next to their parents' belongings, at the Kitale-Mavuno Internally Displaced Persons camp where hundreds of residents from the villages of Kaisari, Pangani and Poromoko have taken refuge, near Mpeketoni on the north coast of Kenya Thursday, June 19, 2014. Kenya's top opposition leader Raila Odinga said Wednesday that a statement by the country's president Uhuru Kenyatta that local political networks were responsible for two days of killings that left 60 people dead, and that they were not carried out by the Somali militant group al-Shabab, trivialized the massacre and went against the conclusions of security experts and foreign governments.
