Lest we forget, in the one-crisis-at-a-time media mindset that tends to prevail, especially in the West (and I know I’ve been pretty myopic lately, but I’m one man, not an entire newspaper!) Kenya is not out of the woods yet. The major players are squabbling anew, this time over the composition and size of the country's cabinet.
This is small beer when placed next to the violence that engulfed the country earlier in the year, but how it is resolved will go a long way in determining the success of this government. Kofi Annan has once again interceded. Presumably the only viable solution will be a true power-sharing within the cabinet, but better to be hammering out these issues at the negotiating table than in the cities, towns, and villages.
