Ok, so, it's been awhile since I've posted. Soooo sad. Oh well. C'est la vie. Yes, la vie has gotten in the way of my posting something new and interesting. Boo hoo.
Anyway, I get the BBC daily news email...I guess I feel that I don't really know much about what's going on in the world, especially in areas where there is little information being publicized. Anyway, I heard that the BBC has pretty accurate pictures of what's going on, so, I thought that it would be a good source to go with. And, the situation in Africa, particularly Zimbabwe, is really horrifying. So, here's links to a couple of articles that I found. Supposedly the UN is planning to intervene in the situation, but, the UN hasn't exactly been uber effective in the past, so, who knows whether or not they'll be successful this time. One of the articles (the one at the top, I think), is about the Congo. I sorta know a bit more about that because Tim Hardy has done some talks and stuff since he's gone on some trips there. Anyway, I know probably no one's gonna read all of the articles, but, they're really interesting and stuff, so, give it a go.
