POPSZimbabwe returns to the ox and plough Is anyone surprised. Just another post-colonial African country utterly destroyed by an insane man who stripped away all white-owned farms and in the process destroyed an entire country. More frightening for white South Africans is that our president, Mbeki, has not opened his mouth once in condemnation of Mugabe. Instead he globe-trots as thousands of Zimbabwe refugees flood our country every day. Zenaphobia(sic) is rife as many Zimbabweans, Mocambiqueans, Somali, Nigerians and Ethiopians are being murdered by our local black people who see the influx of foreigners as a direct threat to their own livelihoods. Mbeki, is South Africa's Mugabe of the future. You Americans are not the only ones with a fool for a president.

"We're extremely worried," said Howard Taylor, who heads the Department for International Development's office in Ethiopia. DfID has given £54m in aid to the country this year, and Britain has also contributed through the EU. "This is exactly the time when we shouldn't turn away from the people in need," he said.

POPSMeet the Dikika Baby "... the same species as the superstar fossil called Lucy, a 3.2-million-year-old adult female found in 1974. Unlike Lucy, the baby has fingers, a foot, and a complete torso. "But the most impressive difference between them," says Zeresenay (Ethiopians' first names are their formal ones), "is that this baby has a face.""

Is it now too late for Bush and America to prolong the suffering of the Somalian people and attempt further undemocratic means of prevent the will of the majority of the people from prevailing?
