OZ,
Drama ! that's what it all comes down too. And I bet it will continue today after Tim announces his plan

From here, it's true they did not go too much in depth. At least, it's mostly recognized that the sub-prime issue couldn't by itself be the lone explanation as it was widely assumed since Jan 08.

Let me second your motion by congratulating Ghana ! We need more of these stories on the continent.

Do you think Paul Biya is somewhere watching all this? lol

Happy Holidays OZ !
I'm 100% with you on the background of your focus on Africa trough your blog.
Personally, I also wish we can all (bloggers etc..) make a meaningful contribution and help foster a change for the better for our respective homeland and the continent as a whole. THAT should be the end game if you ask me.
