Yao,
Thanks for the updates on the situation. That is what interactivity is all about. That's what's interesting about blogging too! It allows all to contribute.
It's a pity though, that the AfCon has to start-off amidst such confusion.
Cheers

AFCON Updates:Togo Players Now Want to Stay(?), Lions beat Kenya in Friendly
(From Gef's Football Club) The 27th Africa Cup of Nations starts this Sunday with the opening match between hosts Angola and Mali in a context clouded by last Friday’s gun-attack on the bus of the Togolese national football team in the Enclave of Cabinda. The Togolese authorities decided to reca...
Dear Dango Tumma,
Thanks for visiting Gefs Outlook. All feedback and discussion is useful.
This post draws from the action of the Sawa (Cameroon) dignitaries to discuss the way Africans (not just Cameroonians and/or Sawas alone) are dealing with their traditional belief systems vis-a-vis other religions (Christianity, Islam, etc) which they have adopted. South Africa being Africa, the photo of South Africans in a traditional ritual fits the general sense of the article. I included the tagline (Ritual in SA) to describe the photo and inform you and other readers that it is from South Africa. Besides there is no caption that says this is a photo of a Sawa ritual.
I hope you will have a second reading of the piece and maybe post your point of view on the issue of blending traditional African religions and other faiths.
Cheers.

Iya,
I hope you develop these feelings and thoughts into a beautiful and thought-provoking novel.

Entering Fortress Europe
About a week ago, I left Phnom Penh for England, where I am spending Christmas and New Year. I have been looking forward to the trip not only as a respite from the rice-based diet I have been consuming in Phnom Penh, but also as a means of escaping the office where, of late, I have been forced t...
Salut Nino,
Great idea you've got going.

Harrison,
Good to see that you could transcribe what I used to do on air! I'm also honoured that you can still remember stuff I did about 9 years ago!!! (Doesn't make me any younger though)
