Africa's real criminals are its presidents and prime ministers and their
goverbnments. THEY steal a march on law enforcement. THEY control the
police. THEY put themselves above the law. THEY intercept people's messages.
THEY trade in arms and blood diamonds. THEY loot our national treasures.
THEY create conditions for war in Africa. THEY kill and loot their critics,
and violate all human rights with criminal impunity. The real criminals are
the Yaya Jammehs, the Charles Taylors, the Robert Mugabes, the Frederick
Chilubas, the Gnassingbe Eyademas, the Blaise Campaores and the Muamar
Gadafis of Africa. Is Interpol not aware of these glaring facts?

>LYON, France, July 4 (AFP) - The international police agency
>Interpol is to equip investigators in Africa with computer links for

>    "We cannot accept criminals in the African region having better

>    "We will donate computer hardware to all those African national
>Interpol offices who can make appropriate arrangements for internet
>access with a local Internet service provider," he added.
>    Noble called on computer and software firms to come forward to
>sponsor the initiative, which would give computer links to the
