...lines have been attempting to promote safe sex - even in countries where it is not allowed - rather than prevent sex altogether. In the African nation of Burundi, homosexuality is not recognized. "My government said gays and homosexuals don't exist - they are only found in Europe or America," says Burundian Georges Kanuma, 36, an openly gay activist. Frustrated with the lack of health services for gay patients, who are routinely shunned by Burundian physicians, Kanuma founded a nonprofit AIDS organization, Association National de Soutien Aux Seropositif et Aux Malades du SIDA (ANSS), eight months ago. ANSS's first task...
...election in December, a U.S. shipment of 9,000 metric tons of sorghum was blocked for more than 100 days in Mombasa, with no safe way to get it out, Kidane says.

Darfur rations were cut by nearly half in May because too many trucks had been hijacked.

Right before he left, the White House added a little side-trip to Tanzania (a mere five hours' flight farther east) to help out good friend Nelson Mandela with the tricky Burundian peace talks. In mid-journey it announced that on the way back he'd pop in on Cairo, Egypt, for some consultations with President Mubarak about the Middle East peace talks...
...collective endeavor to figure out what we are or should be doing here. Flirting with ideas for four years in a liberal arts institution is not even justifiable to most citizens of the First World (in fact, it is a peculiarly American luxury), so to a Laotian or Burundian peasant the moral difference between working 80 hours per week at Goldman, Sachs and studying at Harvard or paying to participate in World Teach is negligible (or more likely still, completely irrelevant). As for the worth of business people, investment bankers and consultants may add to GDP and still...
