The crisis in Kenya is expected to dominate an African Union summit in Addis Ababa.
Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki is among more than 40 heads of state gathering in the Ethiopian capital for the three-day meeting.
But opposition leader Raila Odinga, who says he won last month's presidential election, has not been invited.
The AU commission chairman says it is up to Africa to help Kenya resolve a dispute that exploded into violence.
"Today it is the responsibility of the African Union to solve this problem," said Alpha Oumar Konare, the AU's top executive.
He was referring to the inter-tribal violence that has killed close to 900 Kenyans in the past month, and forced tens of thousands to flee their homes.
Mr Konare criticised the 53-member union for not doing enough to address issues in Africa and around the world.
