Zimbabwe After Mugabe
by nat
The sight I remember as most haunting was the roads leading out of Harare, into the farmlands that rank among Africa’s most fertile and which until just a few years earlier had produced enough food to feed the country. They were abandoned, casualties of the government’s notorious campaign to forcibly seize white-owned farms. Field after field now lay overgrown, covered with wild shrubs and punctuated only occasionally by the rotting frame of a gutted greenhouse. The only sign of life was desperate people standing along the roadside trying to sell worms to wealthy fishermen driving out of Harare.
General Suharto of Indonesia. One Small Man Leaves a Million Corpses.
by ANairn
General Suharto of Indonesia is fading fast, the news bulletins say. So when I came into the country, I started asking how people felt about their dying killer. (Body count, circa one million plus, overwhelmingly civilian)…. “Suharto?” she said. “He ate too much money. He’s full. He ate so such that others can’t eat.”
Duduk-Duduk, Ngobrol-Ngobrol. Sitting Around Talking, in Indonesia
by ANairn
Sitting around in a house in Indonesia over seaweed gelatin, the talk is of police, the local mob boss, a framed son, tiny worms, buying used clothes from rich lands, but, most fundamentally, jobs and whether, in America, you have to pay a bribe to get one.
