"Why do you keep posting this stuff? Nobody cares about Africa, anyway..."
Clive, Cincinatus's Wife, blam, myself, and a few others get asked that occasionally- we are among the keepers of the "AfricaWatch" columns, and we continue to post articles about what I believe will prove to be one of the great, tragic stories of the new century.
The truth is archived here on Free Republic, and I maintain that one day, when things over there are too awful to be ignored any longer, those who have eyes to see will read the stories here, and be appalled at the silence.
That is all...
"I shall stop the killing when it is necessary.'

We care.
I have saved as many of these articles as I have run across. This is a great tragedy in my lifetime and sadly among many more to come. Thank you all for posting.
I care.
I care,I am a son of the American revolution but my wife was born there and still has family there.
I am so sorry to hear this for Kathy, and for all the innocent in Zimbabwe. This has been such a long ride, and so sad a state for what was once such a beautiful nation -
indeed, the whole country is in such peril. We must continue to pray for all of our brothers and sisters in Africa...
