Omar and Kabirr,
Thanks for giving perspective and clarity to the Zimbabwe/Mugabe issue. I am
in possession of the May issue of the NA. Editor Baffour Ankomah as usual
did a marvelous job. Almost the whole cross section of Zimbabweans got
their voices heard.
P.S Omar your thesis on Transitional Justice the case of Sierra Leone was a
very well written and insightful study. I read it whilst writing a paper on
Gender and the peace process in Sierra Leone.
Guys keep it up.
Bests,
Mboge
