A power-sharing deal has been signed in Kenya, but it will take far more than a handshake in Nairobi to heal the wounds -- more than 1,000 dead and 600,000 displaced -- of the past few months. Here, Massai warriors battle a rival ethnic group in western Kenya with bows and arrows.

It's an image that brings to mind what former Kenyan corruption czar John Githongo recently told FP:
Negotiations are taking place in Nairobi, mediated by Kofi Annan, but it is the realities on the ground that will likely drive things, not the talks.
Looking at the image above, I'd call that an understatement.
