Guys, While the response to this on-going disaster is shameful -generally speaking, it's not fair or accurate to say that African countries are not doing anything. The first people to come to the rescue of Mozambique is the S. Africans. In the past week or so, they've saved -literally- thousands of lives including a new mother and her baby born on top of a tree. Their effort is nowhere enough, but they deserve credit and our commendation. There are hundreds of S. African soldiers risking their lives to save more people even as I write this - just as they've been doing all week. Saul. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
