Morgan Tsvangirai sworn in as Prime Minister

-
Bankrupt. Impoverished. A 90% unemployment rate. Cholera stricken. That's the Zimbabwe that Morgan Tsvangirai faces as he is sworn in as Zimbabwe's prime minister. And still continuing, as he has for the last twenty-nine years, as head of state, president and the most powerful person in the once food rich Zimbabwe - is Tsvangirai's long time rival, foe and tormentor: Robert Mugabe. Can and will this 'unity' government work?

It has to. For the sake of the millions of impoverished and demoralized Zimbabweans, it has to. For the sake of the many hungry and malnourished children; the weak and sick elderly; the struggling and hopeless mothers; and the millions of their exhausted and yet very patient countrymen - Tsvangirai and Mugabe have to get their country together, united and moving. Moving forward. And fast. Move forward, to give and provide Zimbabweans back their dignity and some decency in their lives.

Tsvangirai and Mugabe have to overlook and forget their past and differences; should the two of them have been marooned on an island and it's only them on that island, they can do whatever they want or whatever their whim directs them to. But they are in Zimbabwe. A country of over eleven million people; most of whom are now so desperate and poor that they can't even afford to feed themselves. Most of whom are unemployed. Many are sick. And many of whom have fled. Mr. Mugabe is said to be one of the most educated people on this Planet; and Mr. Tsvangirai has repeatedly said that he wants a better life for his countrymen. We are all praying and watching. And very much hoping that Zimbabweans can now get out of the pit and hell that they are in. Their President and Prime Minister owe them that.

The Albatross

-

They have have been called the grandest living flying machine on Earth . No wonder: the Albatross has a wing span of 3 meters and a body mass of up to 12 kilograms. They can live for up to as long as 60 years. But as they have one of the lowest reproductive rates of any birds and as they are being hunted and killed, they may become extinct. Biologists have discovered that swordfish, tuna and other fishing fleets, are catching these birds while fishing, and are killing more that tens of thousands of these birds every year. In a couple of decades many species may be wiped out unless urgent action is taken .

Rwanda Genocide Deniers

-

It's very shocking and extremely disturbing that, there are some people who deny that there was Genocide in Rwanda ; there are those who have been trying hard to spread lies and propaganda and twist real facts and the truth about the Rwandan genocide; there are those who deny that , it took meticulous planning - resulting in about 800,000 Tutsis and some Hutus, systematically being brutally butchered, in Rwanda, in 1994: .........thousands of children butchered individually, by machete. And the massacres at hundreds of churches, mostly Catholic churches at that. Not to mention the systematic gang rapes of Tutsi women and girls which led the international tribunal to define rape as an act of genocide when part of an extermination campaign. The genocide, while it coincided with the civil war and was clearly driven by the politics around the conflict, was mostly carried out by civilians against civilians far from the front. There was no "other side". There were the murde

Dinder National Park Sudan

Dinder - Sudan Situated in the East of the country, very close to the Ethiopian border, about 400 km. (205 mi.) south-east of Khartoum - Sudan's capital city, is Dinder National Park (DNP) - some times called Dinda ( In Arabic: محميه الدندر ) . Covering about 6,475 sq. km. (2,500 sq. mi.) - some estimates say the park covers a much larger area; which would make it one of the largest in Africa. Established in 1935, it is the most important wildlife reserve in Northern Sudan. It is one of the two parks in the country  designated as Biosphere Reserves . The other is Radom National Park (RNP) in southern Darfur. The park, in Dinder District, Sennar State, like all game parks and reserves in Sudan, is confronted with several threatening problems such as trespassing livestock, poaching, increased human settlements and encroachment in the surrounding areas. Like all game parks and reserves in Sudan, you can hardly find any detailed information on the park. Photos of it, too, are v
