Candido, idéaliste.

Well... After this week back from the country, I spent some days being quite busy, and let's face it, lazy.
I'm getting away again next week, same destination. It's an charming village in the mango and banana production area of Mali, where phone lines are scarce and unreliable. No internet, only the radio an lame ORTM (governmental TV/radio). The community changed its way of communication when USAID financed the local community radio. The radio station is now used to broadcast private messages, in between social programs and music.
Most of the time someone shows up at the radio station with a written text that will be read on air, for 1000 FCFA (1.5 euros). It's often something like "Boubacar Sidibé is asked to come over to the phone booth at 8pm, his family has an important message for him".
People have some kind of control on it, probably more than on public administrations.

Anyway, all this to tell I've been busy, too busy to follow politics news, only able to follow the Washington Rat Race (thanks to my housemates). I could only read the excellent Torpedo. My level of information is quite low.

So see in another week, or when I find something worthwhile.
