I hope you had a good holiday. Cape Town is still one of the prettiest places on earth.

As for what is wrong with Africa, difficult to answer, but think about this, why do the masses not revolt against these dictators more often? 99% of Africans are poor, but still they are mostly content. Maybe our expectation of Africa is not what Africans want. Even the Soviet empire crumbled when the people wanted a better life, but that will seems to be absent among Africans. Can we draw a parallel to Iraq here, where freedom is being offered up on a plate, and they are just thumbing their noses at it? I just dunno anymore...
