Abraão Vicente [pt] has a long and reflective post about the upcoming elections in Cape Town, which he iltustrated with a Gilbert & George pic. “I'm a little bit confused, I must confess. During the election campaign everything seems to be easy. It seems that all dreams are possible to achieve. There are plenty of promises, and there is distribution of hugs and kisses”.

I think it was refreshing to see the Tanzanians recently reject the American diplomatic visit. To assume that America is visiting us out of anything but self interests is to ignore our history for far too long.
I definitely think that we should begin to discuss at the civil level just what we will do with the proliferation of American troops and bases all over the world. The large scale abuse, rape and threat of violence must somehow come to an end.
