Probably not married - These Women
A news article claims Kenyan women are on a week long sex strike over the constant bickering of the political elite which the women fear might plunge the nation into the same bloody mess from a year ago. I applaud these brave women for this selfless act but I wonder if these women are married. For married men, this is obviously not a problem and if they are members of the political elite, they will even bicker more !!! Experience has shown that married men tend to say goodbye to the pleasure of sexual relations once they take the plunge - well, its regular occurance...... Maybe the women should push for a month, well if they themselves can sustain the hold out ??
The men in power should strike back by borrowing a leaf from the Taliban who last week passed a sharia law that requires their women to have sex with their husbands a minimum of 4 times a week - talk `bout getting more than you bargained for - you conniving women !!!

3 Down, how many to go?
Three of the pirates off the Somalian coast got killed yesterday. One is in custody and the authorities haven`t yet figured out what to do with him - he might be 16 years old !! I wonder what this move by the US Navy Seals is going to birth after this incident. An old out war by the pirates or a total back off in fear of retaliation. The US government has ordered the deployment of more ships at the coast; but will this change other nations` policy of no violence with the pirates in an effort to save lives and money? What do you guys think?

Do You Trust Your New Shipmates?
I was kinda bemused today when I read about the hijacking of a US ship, the SS Alabama by pirates off the Somalian coast. Reason being that the ship`s captain who was taken hostage is actually a teacher at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and was apparently giving a lecture to a class about what to do in hostage situation like this. I later found out that he had offered to be taken hostage so he could save his men on the ship, one being his son, and the ship too.
Was he trying put into practice what he was preaching to his class? Hmmmm....

Limelight On Africa
If you have been following the news and events lately, you will notice how a lot of sources are naming the African continent as the new investment hot spot. One of the main reasons being that a lot of the economies there have not been largely affected by the current global crisis. If anything, some of them have actually flourished amidst the torrents of the financial turmoil. There has been a noticeably strong Chinese presence in a few countries like The Sudan, Kenya and Congo to name a few which undoubtley boast of vast reserves of natural resources that are largely unexplored.
There have been a myriad of debates by different groups including me and a few of my friends about what this means for these countries being invested in and the continent as a whole regarding the cost of investments. "What measures have both the investing nations and the recepients put in place to ensure that the interests of both parties are being protected?," is one of the main subjects of these discussions.

You should go!!
I took a trip to Uganda in eastern Africa last year and it was great. There was much to see and much to do. For people not used to flying, it was a long trip, about 16-20 hours depending on your stop-over time. I wouldn`t advise a non-stop flight unless you love being on planes for a duartion or more than 12 hours. I always go for a stop-over flight and besides, it is cheaper. Has anyone travelled to this wonderful continent yet and if so, when?
