Well I wasn't really pointing towards seperation of the country, but a dual governmental system which helps maintain the basic requirements of everyday living, and allows space and time to evolve their democratic process to the point where they can start to see eye to eye. Once evolved to that stage, switch over.
With seperation of the country into other divisions, that just allows to prolong the divisions already within the tribes and will help promote very few chances of getting them together for talks. Of course they may get their areas developed and run the way they want, but then later on down the road, somebody's going to build on someone's land, or someone is going to murder or mug someone from another area and then it'll move from tribal violence, to possible organized wars, such as a few currently going on today between sides which don't seem to meet eye to eye.
Borders don't really solve problems... they just try and seperate them to make it appear there are none.
What I was talking about was something along the lines of a Martial Law ruled by the military which is not loyal to any political party, but the country's well being and the people within. Something like how Pakistan's Military has the control over their own Nuclear Weapons, but Mush'head-Arif doesn't (I maybe wrong on those details, as it's been a while)
Sorry, for getting the facts muddled... I always forget that I can just scroll down to read the previous posts, instead of clicking away and then try to come back only to find what I just wrote has disappeared!! :roll:
Your ideas are sound and worth a try, but under the current uproar and chaos it will be hard to enforce any rule or any change. Their blood is boiling! If the election results were tempered with then that should be investigated. But then, Praxius, that kind of corruption goes on in the most highest places everywhere.
I just found an article entitled
"Kenya's 'mafia' feel the heat". It talks about boycotting plans by the opposition of companies allied to Kibaki's ruling party.and its clan. That is a powerful tool, because it involves money and might make an impression.
(It won't let me do a copy and paste job for some unknown reason so, just click on the link to read the article.)

The US has now gotten involved with a sharp condemnation of the ethnic cleansing that has been going on.

With further checking I found this link, which records that the US government was already advised by the
CIA before the elections which candidate to put their money on,

It is understood that the Americans were showing a preference to ODM ostensibly because Kibaki’s style of leadership was rolling back the gains of democracy and losing the war on high level graft something that has enraged Washington and was echoed by visiting senator of Kenyan roots Barrack Obama early this year.
With ODM now as good as dead thanks to endless infighting, the Americans now look at Kibaki through different lenses much to the chagrin of Kalonzo who had reportedly counted on the US to provide him with campaign cash.
The CIA, blamed for the overthrow of some African governments like Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah and murder of Congo’s Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba as the cold war raged in the 1960’s, was created in 1947 with the signing of the National Security Act by President Harry S. Truman. The CIA’s responsibilities include collecting, correlating and evaluating intelligence related to the national security and providing appropriate dissemination of such intelligence.
At least it looks this time like the CIA
didn't actively get involved in the tempering, but the day isn't over yet, one never knows!
