9th, I suppose if that were to happen, then there would be tribal wars just as there has been historically, and one will fight to have more power than the next. Arguments will happen over boundaries etc. It'd be nice if what you've suggested could occur peacefully, but history suggests that if the people of the area couldn't live peacefully that way in the past, what has changed to make it happen now? Is it possible that a democratic process managed by an outside party (perhaps the UN for what it's worth) could facilitate such a thing? Personally, I doubt it. My faith in democratic processes with regard to international events is fairly non-existant at this point. In saying that though, now that events are in motion, the only way to move is forward.
