Ethnicloft is a bit pessimistic about initiatives such “Rock for Darfur” organized by Myspace:”As they party hard, shamelessly, a multitude of people are being raped, maimed and killed, helplessly, in Darfur. I wonder if that ever crossed their mind.”

Live Elections Blog as Namibia votes on November 27 and 28, 2009.
Why are African intellectuals so depressing?, wonders Kenyan blogger Kaasa: “Hello! Today on my way back to the hotel, I saw the current Oct-Dec 2009 BBC Focus on Africa magazine at a newsstand and read Mukoma wa Ngugi’s article “We Are Sailing”. My goodness. Talk about a super depressingly-depressing article.

Correction Ndesanjo: I’m NOT pessimistic about Rock For Darfur, in fact I welcome the idea. What doesn’t make sense is the Nigerian concert marking the 46th independence anniversary that happened in the midst of Darfur genocide. Please correct. Thanks!
