The horror boat



Africa is becoming a chess game. A couple of weeks ago a chinese ship filled with guns tried to enter in Mozambique and South Africa’s ports. It’s goal: provide Mr. Robert Mugabe with guns to fight in a more than probable war after the 2nd run for the presidency. Right now is in Luanda port, in Angola, waiting for authorization. Are the chinese the bad guys? I don’t think so… at least they’re not the only ones. The Africans are not playing this game and it’s time to do it. They are starting to become short in excuses like the colonization trauma that lasts for 50 years in some cases.
