It not apatheid then, no one can suppress the other if they live in their own countries.
Could actually improve relations.
This colonialist self-loathing has to stop some time, the Africans have had genocides, enslavement and poverty even without Europeans.
They also had it long before the Europeans set foot in Africa.

Living here, it is not the colour of ones skin that tends to be the problem ,it is a clash of cultures.

On the one hand we have a culture which sits happily typing away on this keyboard, familiar with the moden world and it's technology.
On the other we have a culture, which by common definition is "less advanced", and along with this comes a different set of values , and perhaps even morals.

When a common value system is shared there will be less strife.
Getting to the common set of values is the difficulty, because as children we are brought up with core beliefs. Not only that but throw religion into the mix and you have a situation that will take generations to solve.

Once again this is not a black/white thing it's about being "Savvy" in the modern world. I have black collegues at work with whom i have closer ties than many"whites".
This is because they subscribe to the same value system that i do, predominantly that of the western world.

(Some of which were instilled in me by my parents and cheesy tv shows like Dallas, Airwolf and Knightrider:rotfl:, which was what we got mainly during apartheid (ps:that's a joke)

People talk about redressing the disparity in wealth issue, but it is meaningless without the education to utilse the wealth, which one culture does and does well,whilst the other remains envious.

The old story of give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish he eats for the rest of his life.


I do not think the solution is just to give someone shares, bacause A:there is no appreciation and B:he will have aquired them without the "knowledge" to make them go further.

As for Mugabe, looks like he's gonna turn tail, by all accounts he's making a deal with Tsvanguri.it will be interesting to see how many refugees here go back.

Default Anybody Really Think Things are Going to Change?

There are reports of a split in Zanu-PF, Mugabe's party, with the hardliners apparently winning. Notice that the offices of the opposition party were raided earlier this week and now this - opposition representatives have been physically prevented from entering the Supreme Court Building. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/04/05/zimbabwe.html

Plus qu'il change, plus il reste la même.

Default He's Moving...

Mugabe has apparently decided which way to swing. Of real interest is the tag line that a New York Times reporter had to be sent to the hospital "after falling in his cell."

Pity Mugabe can't take a fall and break his neck. I'm sure the funeral would be a scene out of A Christmas Carol.

"Thank you very much, thank you very much, it's the nicest thing that anyone has done for me!"

Nice to see the government is giving the voters some choices!
