Zimbabwe: Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war by Michael Trapido on April 17th, 2008 When Mugabe and his henchmen start spouting on about treason and fictitious requests for invasion, purportedly made by the MDC and ridiculed by the British government, then their intent is all too clear. What the electorate of Zimbabwe has taken ... Zim behind the scenes by Kristin Palitza on April 17th, 2008 In the past couple of days I've been wondering what's really going on behind the scenes in Zimbabwe.

Who will build Uhuru Highway? by Ebrahim-Khalil Hassen on April 16th, 2008 The in-flight magazine on Kenyan Airways had the usual-usual. The spine of the magazine surprised: a Swahili proverb had been written on it. I cannot remember the exact wording, but it read something like: When two bulls fight, the people suffer. ... Why I won't talk to my wife in the morning by Bruce Cohen on April 16th, 2008 My wife and I no longer talk to each other in the morning. We're just too busy wandering around the house with our mouths full of oil. We're members, you see, of that little-known global community, the Society of Oil Pullers. Laugh away, but o... A taste of Borneo by Nicole Johnston on April 16th, 2008 It's my fourth day in Borneo and I've eaten such an odd assortment of things in such a weird range of flavours that my taste buds are thoroughly bewildered.
