True, but considering that the memory of being discriminated and rejected simply because we're different is still there (apartheid ends legally in 1990), I still find it terrifying that people would go out and lend a hand to lynch Congolese, Ethiopians, Somalians and Zimbabweans simply because...

I remember there was some problem as they want to declare independence from the central government back in the 90's, I take it as the problem has been solved since then? A lot of Somalian immigrates to South Africa in search of livehood and to escape violence. Most of them yearn to return back...

Asian (etymology) -> Inhabitants of Asia Asia (etymology) -> The Greek name for the collective landmass across of the Aegean sea and the Bosphorus strait. Asian (popular perception in English)-> People with origin from East and South-East Asia [US English] | People with origin from South Asia...

Unfortunately the South African government is a big omnishamble with the technocratic element inside our government being sidelined by every passing days by the kleptocratic cliques. Just two weeks ago the former Finance Minister was replaced by someone that is more subservient to Zuma's whims...

I don't know about the Eurasian wild boars (Sus scrofa) but the warthogs (Phacochoerus africanus) that we hunt in South Africa are really dangerous and has been documented to kill and severely maimed some hunters. Then again warthogs are smaller in stature from boars, so I could only imagine...

How's the status between Somaliland and the government in Mogadishu now? It's always a pity to see what a wasted potential Somalia is now, considering its geographical position.

I stopped reading when some of the posters in here insinuates that Blacks are "savages and uncapable of complex thinking" :sick: The most important change must comes from the Africans in their respective countries. Most of the modern states in Sub-Saharan Africa is a hopscotch of different...

As long as South Africa still has a functioning economy, most of the migrants from down South of the equator would go to SA first before paying whatever smuggler is there in order to go to Europe. If you see South Africans getting into the same boat with the Eritreans, Nigerians and Mozambicans...

I want to laugh, but then again that's also applicable to South Africa :D.

I assume you were referring to the 1998 chaos? The Chinese business owners were Chinese-Indonesians (with Indonesian nationality) so the Chinese governments were not obliged to protect them per sé in '98. The overwhelming majority of Chinese workers in Africa (aside from South Africa, Mauritius...

As someone with Indonesian parents and whom is living in Indonesia now, I was flabbergasted at the naval and aerial coverage of the Indonesian Navy and Air Force compared to their coverage of the area. 2 weeks ago there were some demonstration from the Indonesian Air Force on the Palm Sunday...

Good for Turkish economy, I guess? :)

The Asians of Uganda (back in the 60's) were victim of their own success and the political scapegoat of the Idi Amin's regimé. To suggest that they're "nothing good for the country" is demeaning to their plight and the impact of their plight. The Poms brought hundreds of thousands of Asians from...
