What year is it?
If you saw this story, you'd think it was 1984 again.
I have been thinking all day about Africa, all the trauma that's been inflicted on that land and its people; I mean trauma to the body, the spirit, the collective psyche. You can't do a Google search on Africa or browse the CNN World section without returning the Official List of Horrors: Darfur, Somalia, AIDS, Mugabe, Bemba, Eritrea, Hutus, Tutsis, apartheid.
Now Ethiopia. Again.
What is wrong with us? Why can't we get this right?
Dammit, look at their faces.
