Kenya aquifer discovered in dry Turkana region
If this works out, it'll create great changes. As well as making a dry land arable, there will be tremendous cultural and political upheavals.

Tomorrow is election day for Zimbabwe. Will it result in a new day or a continuation of darkness for this wonderful land?

Jumping into Victoria Falls
We used to just see fishermen from Zambia working their way out along the edge of the falls. Now it's become a tourist attraction. Wonder how long it'll be before some idiot gets careless and goes over the falls.

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.

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?

Where Citizenship Went to Die
Where Citizenship Went to Die
One of the things holding Zimbabwe back is the refusal to recognize people born in the country as citizens, even unto the nth generation. One of the things that has enabled the USA to prosper is the recognition of EVERYONE born in the country as a citizen. (Unfortunately, some xenophobes today want the USA to follow the practices of Zimbabwe.) I hope the new constitution in Zimbabwe will rectify this problem.

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.

Zimbabwe checks its bank balance
Zimbabwe checks its bank balance, finds only $217
What can I say? Even I have more money than that, since I get paid today. Not much more, but still more. Good work, Mugabe!
