ROBERT MUGABE’S BRUTAL DESTINY
You don’t need to go far to hear all the horror stories of a terrifying dictatorship. You just have to stop in Johannesburg, the place where most Zimbabwe refugees have fled. Robert Mugabe is Africa’s nightmare and has brought rise to all prejudices the rest of the world have for Africa, plus he represents all the stereotypes of the mad dictator that started with Uganda’s Amin Dada.

AIDS : INFORMATION SAVES LIVES
Sometimes it is easier to write about international peace than to write about an event that has touched you personally. Before I started writing this article, I spent quite a long time thinking about what I was going to write and then after having a quick look at the news agencies, the UN and other organizations I realized that all the information you need is there. Their websites include all the scary numbers with which the media will bombard you for the next few days, so there is no reason for me to be another one who will coldly list numbers and statistics.This year is almost twenty years since I lost two really good friends who coincidentally had exactly the same name. I don’t want to make an elegy for them since both were very happy and jolly men, and I’m sure that’s how they both want to be remembered.
