Violence in Kenya

What is happening in Kenya which since the fifties has been a stable country with a democratically elected government is a terrible tragedy. Hired thugs are killing people, hacking them to death. The U.S. has a long history of good relations and cooperation with Kenya. Many Kenyans have been educated in the United States including Obama's deceased father. These killilng are fueled by inter ethnic (tribal) tensions but primarily a result of the recent elections. Kibaki remains in power but is not on top of the situation, has become invisible, showing no leadership while violence reigns. Many think the elections were fixed. There are calls for Kibaki to step down and give the reigns to either the military or Odinga the opposition leader. I don't understand why the outside world is so indifferent to the misery happening in Kenya. Of course, we haven't done anything about Darfur either. I don't claim to understand African politics or history but those who do should be offering some kind of solutions. One radio personality from Kenya said the violence would stop, when the politicians or their stooges stopped paying the thugs to kill people. Intervention of some kind seems warranted. The crisis in Kenya is worsening day by day.
