re: Tribalism I think I catch your drift that tribalism as a concept is in no way confined to Africa. However, I do think that its nature and complexities vary according to its context. The sheer number of tribes within some African nation-states is impressive and puts - for example - Kenya and its situation aside to that of Spain. However, I think it is justifiable for me to comment that I find tribalism a difficult concept to comprehend, regardless of its setting.
Tribalism "This concept of tribalism and the divisions and difficulties which it can apparantly breed was difficult for us to comprehend" LoL!!! Oh yeah, Ben, why can`t you comprehend this? What happened in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Serbia afew years ago? Was it any different? Wasn`t it a bunch of European tribes taking it out on each other because of territory and religion?? What happened in Northern Ireland? What was the cause of "the troubles" there?
What makes ETA blow up things in France and Spain?? I hope you catch the drift
Travels Hey Ben! Good to hear about your travels... Ethiopia sounds great, though that last hotel is truly nighmarish!
If I wind up in Ethiopia myself, I'll have to ask you for some advice.
Your British slang is great! I had to google a few words, though Haha
Take care. Have a wonderful time in your adventurous explorations!
But are there any Jaguars? So, any jaguars? OK fine, a cougar? Didn't think so ;-)
Just got back from being in Texas during the US elections. You may have heard Obama won. Keep the blog going! Be safe. -j.
