The negotiations in Kenya appear to have reached stalemate, and possibly collapse. One can only hope that the solution still lies in talks and not in a resumption of violence in the streets. But in all likelihood the masses are not going to raise arms over an issue as relatively esoteric (from the vantage point of the average Kenyan, anyway) as the composition of the country's cabinet unless someone stokes the fire of chaos. It is up to Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga to keep their seconds under control.
