Hi,
i think you are tuned to a wrong channel. there is only one religion found
by Africans for Africans - African Traditional Religion. The rest are invaders
and i think they are responsible for most of our problems today (this is my own
personal opinion; you can hold your own and let it be yours). i think this news-
group has more important things to discuss in 1993 than religions. i suggest 
she tries s.c.india, s.c.china, s.c.mongolia, or s.c.anything not Africa. and
i wish her goodluck.

Title: MOZAMBIQUE: DONORS PLEDGE 320 MILLION DOLLARS


rome, 16 dic (ips) -- international donors agreed to grant
mozambique a 320-million dollar financial infusion to help the
southern african country resettle over 5.5 million refugees,
demobilize government and rebel soldiers and organize elections.

the pledges were made at a two-day international conference on
mozambique, which ended here wednesday.

the conference, which brought together representatives of 25
countries and international organizations, achieved the
objectives which had been set, its chairman, italy's deputy
foreign minister carmelo azzara, said.

these objectives were political and financial backing as well
as support for the electoral process, he said at a press
conference.

azzara said italy would contribute 110 million dollars out of
the 320 million dollars pledged at the conference. new donations
which have been announced will increase the total to 400 million
dollars, which was the target set for the meeting, he added.

at the request of the united nations, italy will organize the
preparations for presidential and parliamentary elections to be
held in october, according to a timetable set in an oct. 4 peace
agreement between the mozambican state and mozambique national
resistance movement (renamo) rebels.

part of the aid promised at the international conference will
be used to bankroll the organization of the polls.

the funds will also be used to resettle the four to five
million internal refugees and about 1.5 million people who sought
refuge in neighbouring countries.

they will also go towards the demobilization of thousands of
government troops and renamo rebels, one of the points of the
rome agreement, which crowned two years of negotiations brokered
by italy.

italian ambassadior to mozambique manfredo incisa di camerana
told ips that the conference was positive and that it would make
it possible to begin efforts to satisfy the ''dramatic'' needs of
the mozambican population.

he said mozambique's people were the main guarantee for the
peace process, because they did not want war, but wished ''to be
able to work, eat and reconstruct their country.''

the war between the state and renamo lasted 16 years.

As we get into another round of imperialist-bashing, let us note the 
following:

1) All those now unearthing devious intentions behind the US intervention 
in Somalia were not too long ago hollering about how the US (and the West) 
was not doing anything to help that country.  Furthermore, they have yet  
to offer some credible alternative of what should have been done there.  

2) No matter what the US plans are for wars anywhere, it is very hard for 
it to act if the countries in question could manage to run their affairs 
properly: The USA would not be in Somalia if the Somalians were not 
killing each other and the USA was being harassed to act; the USA would 
not have been in Iraq if Iraqis had not kept out of Kuwait or withdrawn 
early instead of standing tough and promising to make the sands run red 
with blood; the USA would not have nabbed Noriega had he not repeatedly 
dared them to do their worst; Liberia, ...

3) It is becoming increasingly clear that the someone has to be the world's 
policeman -- Bosnia is the next stop -- and only the USA seems to have the 
capability or the will to do it.  It is therefore perfectly reasonable 
that the Pentagon should continue building its forces and preparing to 
fight in various parts of the world.

Does a good policeman play to the gallery? and BTW, how do you measure
public pressure? are you saying that the Liberian civil war has not generated
sufficient "public" pressure, not with the killing of five US nuns by Charles
Taylor's trigger-happy kid soldiers/bandits? since the Vietnam's fiasco, i 
think the US thinks more than twice before intervening in any war(s), especia-
lly in the rain forests. She now only intervenes in a war she can win and make
noise about. afterall, victory in war and politics are first cousins.

Kauta, you got it right. I can't believe, people still proudly defend
these foreign languages - I mean African people. You know Sankara [a
Borkinabe] is an African hero, compared to the "Ivorian" [how does one
refer to somebody from Cote d'Ivoire ?] "lifer". Back to the language
issue, we have enough authentic African languages, these are ones we aught
to be defending and debating about, not French or English or whatever. 

We can learn other people's languages in order to engage with them for
the purpose of exchange of information [read knowledge]. This is pretty
pedantic stuff so I will no continue beyond this, except to add that it
struct me that some people have not yet resolved this, but you answered it
well !

I saw a program on the discovery network (mon 22 hrs est) regarding the drought
in Zimbabwe. I was particlarly impressed by the progressive, afrophilic perspe
ctive of the British aouthors of the program. The episode that I saw (there will
be 3 altogether) dwelt a little with the history and how europeans adversely
affected it. 

It was interesting to discover that there is a drought going on Zimbabwe which
resulted from a lowering of the water table as a result of reckless irrigation.
What is more, the wildlife stands in danger of extinction as a result of the 
of a shortage of water. Insome game parks, animals depend on water pumps for
survival. The lack of land has meant that elephants which need vast areas of f
orest to survive have marginalised are faced with a bleak future.

Lake Kariba has been poisoned by motor boats used by the tourists. As a result
the marine life is slowly disappearing. (Perhaps Zambia should consider divert
ing the river away from the Zimbabwe border- joke). 

The picture painted was that Zimn. is somewhat like a flies which a trapped in
a jar. Initially their population increases, levels off and then expires when 
it exhausts all their resources.

VP. of FORD KENYA Mr. Paul Mutei (Sp.?) said the country was on the verge
of economic collapse because the government had printed 300 million
dollars worth of notes to help finance their campaign and try and ensure

The BBC did not expand on this later in the news hour, but flooding the

Title: SOMALIA: Bush announces New Year visit


washington, dec 21 (ips) -- the white house announced here tuesday
that president george bush will visit relief operations and u.s.
forces in somalia on new year's day.

in a written statement, spokesperson marlin fitzwater said
bush's visit ''will demonstrate united states concern for the
people of somalia, our commitment to humanitarian assistance and
our support for americans and united nations forces''.

by the time of his visit, according to pentagon officials,
washington is expected to have close to 28,000 u.s. troops on the
ground in somalia as part of 'operation restore hope' launched two
weeks ago.

two dozen other countries may have more than 10,000 of their
troops working with the u.s. soldiers who are operating under a
u.n. security council mandate.

bush's visit -- the first by a u.s. president to africa since
former president jimmy carter traveled there in the late 1970s --
will take place less than three weeks before he hands over power
to president-elect bill clinton.

the visit also recalls former president ronald reagan's trip to
grenada after the 1982 u.s. invasion there.

bush traveled to panama last june in part to commemorate the
invasion he ordered of the country in dec. 1989. his visit,
however, was partly disrupted when tear gas, fired by police at
people demonstrating against his policies, wafted back into the
open-air rally he was scheduled to address. (end/ips/jl/yjc/92)

Hi!  I thought that this news wire from the local paper might be interesting...

DISMISSED GENERAL DENIES TRYING TO WRECK REFORMS

Johannesburg, South Africa

An army general dismissed in a crackdown on a covert military team denied
Monday that he had been doing anything to derail reforms aimed at sharing
power with blacks.

Maj. Gen. Chris Thirion, deputy chief of military intelligence, said ha
would not appeal his dismissal by President F.W. de Klerk.

"It is possible I made mistakes, but I never intentionally did anything to
sabotage the constitutional process," Thirion was quoted as saying by The
Star newspaper of Johannesburg.  "I consider myself a good professional
soldier but I'm only human."

It was the first comment by any of the sacked officers since de Klerk
stunned the nation Saturday by saying he had uncovered a military plot to
wreck opposition groups such as the African National Congress.
