Building a wall around the West

Article Abstract:

Passengers from Africa and other southern hemisphere countries are subjected to drugs checks on arrival at Heathrow Airport, London, England. A policeman encourages a dog to climb over people with no explanation or apology, frightening children and foreigners whose culture consider dogs unclean. This uncivilised, offensive treatment deters visitors and friends. Financial help for Africa and the Third World is decreasing and development strategies have ceased. The IMF and the World Bank impose economic reforms and aid agencies offer emergency relief. News coverage of Third World affairs is scarce.

Not as nice as he looked

Article Abstract:

Jonas Savimbi and his Unita movement demanded a democratic election in Angola but when he had one he lost it. The United Nations is verifying the vote and cannot remain for peace-keeping. Savimbi threatens to continue fighting and Angola could follow the route of Liberia and Somalia. The US provided covert aid to Jonas Savimbi's Unita rebels. Unita Foreign Affairs representative Chingunji was murdered after speaking about disappearances, torture and witch burnings. In Angola Unita was a vicious dictatorship.

The sheriff and the warlords

Article Abstract:

UN involvement in Somalia is becoming an army of occupation. To protect emergency food the UN is obliged to stop the war. If that is not the UN's role, it could leave the two sides to fight as it did in Angola. US forces landed at Mogadishu but found they would have had to remain until a new government was formed. Forcible disarmament was unacceptable so they left. The multilateral force is not respected as the racist Somalians despise Pakistanis, East Europeans and Asians.
