#1 An Angolan expansion of Bad Bob's "Operation Murambatsvina" over in Zim. Kind of an Kelo v. New London "eminent domain" on steroids. Isn't progress wonderful?

#4 I suspect a lot of countries around the world are contemplating similar measures. They have just become sick of enormous shack ghettos in their major cities. Some of these slums are immense--around Mexico City are almost 2 million people living in what amounts to a garbage dump that circles the city.

Rio also has an enormous ghetto city, as do lots of other places. Bob has finally shown them the way: just kick them out into the countryside and let them fend for themselves.

Think of it as "third and fourth world welfare reform".
