Malaria cases on rise in Nairobi

Malaria cases on rise in Nairobi

When I lived in East Africa, malaria was virtually unheard of in Nairobi.  I lived in Arusha, Tanzania and we had no malaria there either due to the altitude.  Only during trips to lower areas did we even think about Malaria and the need for prophylactics.

In Zimbabwe, we didn't see malaria in the highveld.  We didn't worry about taking prophylactics in Harare or Gweru and only took precautions when traveling to lower altitudes.  Just before we left Zimbabwe, there were a few cases being reported in Harare among people who had not traveled to lower regions.  Also, the regular weekly dosage of the common anti-malaria drugs were being changed to every 5-6 days as people seemed to be contracting the disease around day 6 or 7 of the course.

In Moçambique, we always worried about malaria since it was at a lower altitude and always hot where we lived, in Nampula and Pemba.

This seems to be a clear indication that global warming is occurring and that it is a life threatening event.

Tanzania's Maasai battle game hunters for grazing land

Tanzania's Maasai battle game hunters for grazing land

What's happening is wrong! I used to live in Arusha. I hunted around Arusha. I've been in Ngorongoro Crater and camped in the Serengeti. I've observed the Maasai in those areas. The only threat they pose is to the cats who prey upon their cattle. Other game ignores them because they are accepted as non-threatening. This is a matter of greed for foreign currency and not a matter of wildlife conservation.

ZANU-PF Feeling the Effects of Targeted Sanctions

ZANU-PF is feeling the pain of targeted sanctions. Will they continue to cry for sympathy, or will they make reforms which will trigger removal of the sanctions?

Zimbabwe Political Campaigns Remain the Same

The tactics of ZANU-PF campaigns remain the same after over 30 years.  Why change what always works?  Expect violence to increase rapidly as the elections draw nearer.

My Prayer for Robert Mugabe

I pray that Robert Mugabe will go to heaven when he dies.

When he gets there he will see God welcoming the victims of Robert Mugabe's and ZANU-PF's violence and misrule. As God heals their wounds, physical, mental and psychological, He commends them on their courage, perseverance and faithfulness to truth and justice.

Then God will turn to Robert Mugabe and say, "Welcome Bob! Come on in. I forgive you and love you." Mugabe's past victims will join in saying, "We forgive you, too!"

And THAT will be hell for Robert Mugabe.

Deadly cobra missing from Bronx Zoo

Deadly cobra missing from Bronx Zoo

20 inch? We usually had 48 - 60 inch ones in Gweru and they were always slithering free. (The big ones didn't pay house calls, that's why none over 60 inches.)

Not to discount the danger of their venom, but to all this hype over a tiny tot in a zoo, I'll give a Bronx Cheer.

Send a Message to Mugabe

Each Monday send a picture of former Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu to Robert G. Mugabe.

Each Tuesday send a picture of former Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam to Robert G. Mugabe.

Each Wednesday send a picture of former Tunisian dictator Zinedine Ben Ali to Robert G. Mugabe.

Each Thursday send a picture of (soon to be former) Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak to Robert G. Mugabe.

Each Friday send a picture of (should be former) Zimbabwean dictator Robert G. Mugabe to Robert G. Mugabe.

Maybe he'll get the message.
