you're overgeneralizing as always. Sure africa is not without ethnic conflicts (neither are other continents) but you might be surprised that it's not a warzone everywhere Actually in some countries you can already observe detribalization and the forming of a more national identity. Of course this process is only just beginning because most african countries are barely 50 years in existance...

^there's not only Masai living in kenya, you think all ethnic groups should get independence? How do you envision this will affect their prospects for economic development and governability?

If not then why not unite Bantus into one giant "Zaire" type country stretching from East to West Africa. And then you can have Somalis united into one country as well including Borana and maybe Muslim Oromo too. Do you think African countries will solve their problems within next 50 years? They'll still have election crashes and border conflicts, also Northern Kenya isn't properly stablized. They can't police that far up! Thats why there is war up there, a minor war of course, but nonetheless it is a war.
