Sixteen days ago, Rwanda and the rest of the world observed the International Day against violence against women, a day that marked the beginning of a series of important days and events in the human rights calendar.

And in Rwanda??? Human Rights exist only in a climate where journalists are able to freely point out violations in their OWN country, where representatives of Human Rights organizations are not prevented from entering the country, and where there is justice for all.
I was speaking to a friend the other day about the ongoing catastrophe in Zimbabwe and wondered what could be done about it. "Wave a magic wand and make Robert Mugabe white" was his suggested solution. And you know and I know if Robert Mugabe was white he wouldn't be there now and he almost certainly wouldn't have even been there in the 1980's when he was on the first of his murdering sprees. What is Africa's real problem? Malaria? Corruption? Tribalism? No, none of these, lot's of other places have these things and have improved their people's lives. No, Africa's problem is it is full of racists ........ and every single one of them is black.
