Kenya: Some progress toward a solution?

Although I'm not comfortable with power sharing arrangements, they really arent democracy, I can understand that the violence and tribal craziness needs to be subdued.

But, in the long run Kenya needs to have a free and open election, and the President needs to be accepted by law not by power.

Kenya rivals make progress, tough talks lie ahead
Kenya's feuding parties have moderated their positions at talks on President
Mwai Kibaki's disputed re-election and hope to reach a deal within days to end a
crisis that has killed more than 1,000 people.
Despite the apparent signs of progress, a lasting deal was still far from
certain. Kenya's bloodshed has exposed deep divisions over land, wealth and
power sown during British colonial rule and stoked by politicians ever since.
