While this is disturbing, it is is not surprising.\nSimilar things have taken place in other African nations, especially Sierra Leone.\n\nSpeaking of good books on Africa, Paul Rusesbagina (of Hotel Rwanda fame) has a new book called "An Ordinary Man."\nAn interesting book on a terrible time.

It's been very under the radar but a Taliban like movement is happening in Somalia right now.  These Taliban like radical Muslims have taken over 1/2 of Somalia and turned it into radical Muslim state that is looking a lot like Afghanistan (before 9/11) and that means a serious terrorist training ground.  So that's why the US military is in the Horn because Somalia might turn into the next Al Qaeda training site and that would be much worse than Iraq.

Republic of Zimbabwe, and formerly known as the Republic of Rhodesia, is a landlocked country in the southern part of the continent of Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo rivers. It borders South Africa to the south, Botswana to the west, Zambia to the northwest, and Mozambique to the east. In 1888, Cecil Rhodes signed a treaty with King Lobengula of the Ndebele, who succeeded Mzilikazi. It allowed extensive British intervention in the area, and its purpose was primarily to allow mineral extraction. In 1889, Rhodes obtained a charter for the British South Africa Company (BSAC), with the object of occupying and administering what subsequently became known as Rhodesia, and mining gold and other minerals. In 1895 a column of 200 armed white men recruited by the BSAC in South Africa, occupied Mashonaland and promoted the colonization of the region and its land, labour, and mineral resources. \nIn 1896–1897 the Ndebele, Cazembe and the Shona staged unsuccessful revolts against white colonialists' encroachment on their native lands. This was later known as the first Chimurenga (War of Liberation). Nehanda Nyakasikana, Chaminuka, Muponda, and other Shona spirit mediums and rulers were leaders in this rebellion, and were later captured and executed. The Shonas and the Ndebeles with their spears and knobkerries were no match for the heavily armed British South Africa Police (as the police force of Rhodesia was called), who had horses, guns and cannons. Southern Rhodesia was administered by Rhodes' BSAC until 1922. In a referendum that year, the settler population rejected a proposal for incorporation into the Union of South Africa, and instead became a British self-governing colony.

I'm not sure about 1997 ... but if you think about the Genocide in Rwanda (the masacre of the Tutsi population by the Hutu), that took place in 1994.\nThe background of the genocide is extensive, with roots to be found in Belgian colonialism (the Belgians transformed the Tutsies into a sort of elite with more right and priviledges - when the belgians left, a radical Hutu party won elections and several massacres took place along the years, forcing the Tutsi into exile).\nThe genocide was trigged after the assasination of the Hutu president of Rwanda, which was in the middle of the peace talks with the Tutsi rebels (Arusha Peace Accords). After his death (april 6 1994), the Rwandan Armed Forces disputed the outcome of the Peace Accords and the presidential guard assassinated several moderate Hutu dignitaries, including Prime Minister Uwilingiyimana (she was killed in broad daylight, along with her 10 UN belgian guards). The same night, two Hutu extremists group began rounding up Tutsis all over the country and summarely executing them. The first 40 days saw the death of about 600 thousand Tutsi civilians.\nThe genocideended 100 days later, on 22 July of 1994 when the Tutsi rebels overthrew the Hutu interim govt and ended the massacre, which by then counted around 1 million casualties among the Tutsi. The UN did not authorize any kind of military intervention to stop or prevent the massacre despite early warning reports.\n- US declared it was an 'internal affair' and refused to intervene\n- France opposed direct intervention fearing this will allow greater involvment by the UK in the area and kept to humanitarian aid\n- the UN envoy and the chief of the UN presence there, Jacques-Roger Booh-Booh, greatly watered down reports by UN military commander General Dallaire and even forbid him to halt UK and France armament shipments for the Hutu militia.\n\nNotable side-events: the handling of the crisis by the Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was one of the reasons US vetoed his second mandate (and was the first Secretary General to have a single mandate, was followed by Kofi Annan), Paul Rusesabagina - manager of the Mille Collines Resort in Kigali was awarded the Nobel Prize for his involvment in saving about one thousand refugees.
