Mali's Interim President

Dioncounda Traore needs to hold things together. Talk to the Rebels dummy..

This is the easiest resolvable "crisis" in Africa, this decade.

The whole thing stinks of African dictators, and their supporters (China/Russia).

Gbagbo At The Hague

Having Gbagbo at the Hague court thrills me beyond belief.

I can only hope the other "leaders" in Africa are taking note.

Pretty nice planet you got here...

It's important on a plane..even if a little Crock is loose.

Good news, the little Crocodile lived!  Bad news, someone at the crash site sliced it to bits.

LRA, In Pictures

Nice spread by BBC. The Lords Resistance Army are a brutal group of freaks, controlled by leaders who prey on ignorance, and lead through fear.

They are still at it. I don't know why they can't find where these assholes live and drop a few bombs? Hey, just follow the money...dummies.

Oh, the Pirates look nothing like that chick, her teeth are way better.

Uganda's Nightmare

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/07/world/africa/07congo.html?_r=1&hp

I am torn about the US and UN leaving Africa outright, or just colonizing it again. That is one sad ass statement considering the AU has been in force for a long time. They don't seem capable of taking care of themselves. People in that situation usually die.

Ye Spoiled Me Plunder!

More Pirates foiled...

Uganda Rebels Are Under The Gun

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7782649.stm

The LRA is finally going to get into a real fight! They have Uganda, DR Congo and the government of South Sudan all piling on now... I am not so sure that marching is appropriate though, looks too much like the Pips?
