On BBC last night (this morning?) there was a story about a new
US policy document on Africa. I thought that it was quite odd to
unveil a new policy on Africa a month before a new President comes
into office, but the person who the BBC interviewed on the subject
said that the document had had fairly wide consultation, and that
the Clinton admininistration would be so busy when it came into
office that there wouldn't be time to do any major review of policy.

The story did not go into any detail about what the new policy was,
but said that it would probably lead to a more active role -- for
example if it had been in place already, there would have been earlier
involvement in Somalia, and even direct intervention in Liberia.

Does anyone know the details of this policyy document, and whether
as has been suggested it will survive the transition?

If someone could please post or email me the mailing address of
the SABC I would very much appreciate it.

The telephone number, fax number, and/or electronic access if
available would also be useful and helpful.

I would also be interested in any information or discussion of
talk radio in SA.  It is very powerful and popular here in the
United States, especially in my area of New Jersey/New York City.
I am curious if it is as open and as heated as it often becomes
around here.

Thanks for any and all assistance, Happy New Year

Oh yes, and a postscript ...

I've also heard a theory that the train killings are related to the taxi wars. 
Scare people off the trains so that the taxis will have more customers. Sounds 
plausible, but for one thing.

Most train killings seem to take place immediately before or after all the 
main political leaders get together to talk about peace. 

Coincidence?

The producers of African Connections(R) are conducting research on the issue of
discrimination against persons of African ancestry seeking to enter the
United States.

While success stories of immigrants from Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Cuba,
Mexico and the Indian subcontinent abound with regularity in the popular media,
 a strong perception exists that often inpenetrable barriers exist for Blacks
seeking to enter the U.S. - whether as students, tourists, or as political
refugees.

The detention of Hatians and the denial of a student visas to African students
call for a very serious examination of United States immigration policies and
their implementation.

AFRICAN CONNECTIONS(R) will prepare a 30 minute video presentation examining
 therealities of this important topic, and its far reaching implications for the
African and African-American communities. The program will air during the
second half of 1993.

Your assistance in providing research leads and case studies is greatly
appreciated.

Summary: Election Commissioner orders an investigation

As Kenyans prepare to go to the polls Tuesday, the governing KANU
party continues to be accused of misdeeds: the latest allegations
are that KANU is moving hundreds of its supporters to vote in places
they shouldn't be voting. The elections commissioner has ordered an
investigation into these allegations, this according to a BBC reporter
in Nairobi...and electoral violence continues around the country and
some people have expressed doubts about the voting taking place in
some parts of the country because of the violence.

Hello all,

	We are doing research on various items that international countries

anything from clothing to large machines.  Of course, they must be a legal
product to enter and exit the diffrent countries.  These are some questions

1.) How would we gather information concerning the legal regulations on
	shipping to your country? 

2.) Who would an individual contact in your country about shipping
	requirements?  

3.) What kind of licences or paper work does a company need to enter

Was this post really necessary? Someone needs to clue this person in on the 
 purose of this newsgroup, I seriously doubt Mr. Rose would find many African-
 Americans scouring s.c. india , or any of the others he mentioned. I think
that Mr. Rose's Post was very appropriate to the newsgroup; just because 
a post isn't political doesn't mean it should be excluded. It just happens
that there are very prolific subscribers to this newsgroup who like to 
engage in flame-wars (where I grew up this was called talkin' ____) concerning
politics. I think that there are lots of other CONSTRUCTIVE things that this
newsgroup can be used for in addition to the political harangues. Please don't
stamp out these precious few threads.

I have studied and consider myself above average with my knowledge of
the situation in SA, and will offer my opinions and banter with the
rest here on the network for as long as the situation presents itself.

It is arrogant of the ANC or ANY, repeat ANY organization to call for
the removal of the State President at such a critical time in the
history of South Africa.

Those responsible for the improper action should be removed, and a
complete investigation and report should be conducted.  This is going
to be one of the stepping stones to reform you are going to have to deal
with, nothing is easy in politics, especially when it is caught up with
police and military forces used for more than defence and protection.

As for comments about my .signature, I am a Republican, a supporter of
both President Reagan and President Bush, and am concerned about the
next four years under Bill Clinton and Al Gore.  I did not support
sanctions against SA, I feel the American and foreign companies who
left will never return and the job loss and trade loss will hurt the
SA economy for years to come.

My political direction here in the United States does not preclude me
from engaging in these discussions, and all Republicans and all
Democrats should not be lumped together and be considered like-minded.

No matter if we agree or not here, at least we are talking, which is
more than what is occurring in many places.
