LIVING WITH ‘DUMSORLOGY’
LIVING WITH ‘DUMSORLOGY’ LIVING WITH DUMSORLOGY By CAMERON DUODU Even the look of the word in Ghanaian newspapers is ‘mongrelic’ — dumso.

AFRICA WILL ONLY BECOME STRONGER IF IT INTEGRATES –MUSEVENI
Africa must avoid the kinds of conflict seen in the Middle
East, Museveni argued. What do you care if someone else eats
pork, or is from a different tribe — what you should care
about is whether he will buy what you are selling. But
instead of talking about trade and access to markets,
Museveni lamented, Africans are talking about pork.
Emphasizing his point, Museveni said he had become the first
Christian in his family in 1947. However, he flatly stated
that at the Durban conference on racism, he had declared that

because, “back at my home, we never cared what anyone else ate.”

new meningitis vaccine is to be introduced in africa
A new conjugate vaccine against meningococcal A costing only $0.5 (£0.3; €0.4) a dose that has been developed for use in Africa is about to be introduced for the first time in a national vaccination programme in Burkina Faso, researchers announced.
The campaign to vaccinate all children and young adults from the ages of 1 to 29 years with the vaccine, MenAfriVac, will begin in Burkina Faso on 6 December 2010. Niger and Mali will follow with similar vaccination campaigns.
Countries in the so called meningitis belt in sub-Saharan Africa—from Senegal in the west to Somalia in the east—have had regular epidemics of meningococcal meningitis for the past century. Almost all of the major outbreaks are caused by group A Neisseria menigitidis.
