Let's rev this baby back up

Give 'em an inch, and...

A British-listed mining company, the first to invest in bankrupt Zimbabwe since the political crisis began, was ordered off its valuable diamond claim yesterday.

... a.k.a., the usual.

Most hilarious comment: "I don't believe Zimbabwe would allow illegal seizure of claims without due process." I hope Andrew Cranswick's a comedian, because he sure has no business being the CEO of African Consolidated Resources plc. Must be a misprint.

Those pesky frogs

I've been haranguing elsewhere about the whole Ivory Coast snafu, and am mainly posting this here at the moment to remind myself to look into it & comment more, later.

(Trying to wrap up a major piece of work here and get some other paperwork in the mail before the end of the day.)
