I could not comment on your last blog "VOA - from devil worship to treason" but I was laughing my ass off when I read somewhere about journalism of developing world where anything that matters to journalists is that their leaders dicussed about mutual interest......brilliant. Merry Xmass/ Happy new year!

Thanks for the Hat Tip Andrew re: your BBC article "African bloggers find their voice". I wouldn't describe my posts as an "improvement" on your original, rather an extension to what you have already written.

I have to come back to Meskel Square early next year and spend more time reading your stuff. Keep up the very good work.
