I think Africa is fascinating because apart from (I think) Ethiopia the continent was under various European rule. Each European state left its own mark which affected the fortunes of the people when they became independent.

Like the Former Yugoslavia which was made up of around 7 semi autonamous regions when Tito died, some African states also suffered when they became independent. I am not saying that African states should be still ruled by Europeans but it could and should have been a more orderly transfer of power.

Concerning Yugoslavia, each republic elected tyrants as leaders who took the country into war. If this had not happened Yugoslavia would have been in the EU 10 years ago as it was a prosperous nation when together. In my opinion Germany and the Vatican the first states to recognise Croatia (its former wartime ally) was responsible for the carnage and murder which followed.

In Africa, France, Spain and Italy controlled many of the Northern and Arabic states. Britain, Portugal, Germany and Belgium contolled the rest.Belgium was dominent in Central Africa and their rule and handover (IMO) regarding independence was the most difficult. Hence they are partly to blame (along with the French who secretly supported the Hutus)for the massacres 15 years ago.

Thanks JonC

And I hope you and your family have a great Christmas too.

I did not expect to get the job to be honest but I love Africa. A continent which is fascinating and where I will be based is in my opinion one of the most beautiful parts with the nicest people despite the appalling things that happened 15 years ago.

Before I start I hope to get to the World Cup in South Africa.

Thanks calamity

I will be having another chin wagging session with shareholders over this weekend. Then on Sunday it's off with the family for a 3 day break to Morocco. I have been dealing with some other matters lately but always welcome any information which might be new.

I see from delabeb's post that Mr Allnutt's friend possibly still frequents these boards. Sounds to me as he may have received his 100K gratuity. All the best my friend - spend it wisely.

Guys - last night watched the Exorcist for the first time.

Enjoy this hilarious sequel......

Good afternoon folks.........

A very happy Christmas to all. I have bought this tree today for all my loyal readers over the last 6 months - and that includes the offenders who are innocent until proven guilty.

[loverat] 15/12/2009 20:35

Yes folks - 2009 will be remembered as a year when greed, deception, incompetance and fraud were firmly kicked into touch. Roll on next year when I would suggest that the activities of more offenders will come under the public spotlight.
