25 May was interestingly Africa Day, as well as a UK Bank Holiday for Whitsun, to note the 25 year anniversary of the creation of the African Union (previously OAU). I noted last year that the shift to AU was meant to include a move from 'non interference' to 'non indifference'.
The election of Jacob Zuma in South Africa is creating high expectations. The needs are obvious, even if Michael Holman is right in the Financial Times about dodgy statistics on Africa's wars, but so is international willingness to back African leadership.
