#1 Shocking I tell you! Absorootry Shocking!

Amazing how little of this is mentioned by the African genocide crowd or appears in the MSM. Swart on swart crime and inhumanity are off limits there as well as here it would appear.

No mention of it by African Union (AU) Chairperson Leader Muammar Gaddafi in the AU website or African Union Commission (AUC) newsletter either. There was a however, an inspiring story about Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC) and their meeting with Mama Sarah (Barry's grandmother) at her residence in K'ogelo Village. The AUC newletter also contained a congratulatory note to Barry from AUC Chairperson Ping. Lots and lots of other happy-talk and photos as well.

Grab your vuvuzela and stay tuned for the football rundown.

They're not off limits. It's just that nobody cares just as nobody cared about Rwanda. One of the benefits of throwing the colonials out.

Sub-saharan Africa is being allowed to regress to its precolonial culture, just as has much of South Asia. There's really little to be done unless someone wants to pick up the white man's burden. The Chinese are interested in the area's resources. But I doubt they'll shoulder the burden.

So it's back to the Hobbesian jungle.
