Africa At Last!

After DAYS of the continent missing from the Boston Globe's coverage what do we get? The cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe? The genocide in Congo or Sudan? The situation in Somalia?

Nope!


"On African trip, pope warns on condom use; Remark stirs critics in region torn by AIDS" by Victor L. Simpson, Associated Press | March 18, 2009

YAOUNDE, Cameroon - .... Three-quarters of all AIDS deaths worldwide in 2007 were in sub-Saharan Africa, where some 22 million people are infected with HIV. The number represents two-thirds of the world's infections, according to UNAIDS....

Please see: Was AIDS Man-Made?

The cat is out of the bag, MSM, and we NO LONGER BELIEVE YOUR LIES!!!!!!!


It was the first stop on a weeklong pilgrimage that will also take Benedict to Angola as he seeks to draw international attention to Africa's problems of famine, poverty, and conflict.

Which are SUBSERVIENT to the CONDOM ISSUE in the racist, ZIONIST-CONTROLLED, AGENDA-PUSHING PRESS!!! Catholics being flogged because of that

And here is something odd(?) considering the links I provided:

"HIV rapidly evolving past defenses, study says; Virus complicates search for vaccine" by Michael Kahn, Reuters | February 26, 2009

LONDON - The AIDS virus is quickly adapting across large groups of people to avoid human defenses, posing another challenge in the search for a vaccine, researchers said yesterday.

Scientists know the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, constantly mutates within individual people to find ways to attack cells. But the study published in the journal Nature suggests changes that help the virus do this are increasingly passed on in the wider population.

"What was previously clear is the virus could evolve within each infected person but that doesn't really matter from a vaccine perspective if the virus at the population level is staying the same," said Philip Goulder, an immunologist at Oxford University who led the study.

The new discovery changes that. "The implication is that once we have found an effective vaccine, it would likely need to be changed to keep pace with the rapidly evolving virus," he said.

There is no cure for AIDS, and 33 million people globally are infected with HIV. Cocktails of drugs can control the virus and keep patients healthy. AIDS has killed about 25 million people since the early 1980s, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa.

You just here a cash register cha-ching?

And it sounds like the EndGame to me!!!!

Researchers are trying to find vaccines that would either prevent infection or control the virus so that patients are less likely to transmit it - what is called a therapeutic vaccine.

"The process of the virus adapting is happening before our eyes at quite a speed, and it is something we need to take into account when making our vaccines," Goulder said.

HIV attacks the immune system, the body's natural defenses. Like other viruses, it cannot replicate on its own but must hijack a cell and turn it into a virus factory. HIV must evade several genes to do this....

But rather than focus on that, look at ALL the PRINT this story gets (and why):

"Ravalomanana had been backed by the international community"

"Leader backed by army in charge; In Madagascar, a new regime" by Associated Press | March 18, 2009

ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar - Madagascar's top generals handed over control of this Indian Ocean island nation to the toppled president's rival yesterday, hours after the president stepped down and tried to put the military in charge.

In a ceremony broadcast from a military camp in the capital, Vice-Admiral Hyppolite Rarison Ramaroson said he and two other generals rejected a move earlier yesterday by the ousted president, Marc Ravalomanana, to transfer power to a military directorate.

Instead, Ramaroson said the military was installing opposition leader Andry Rajoelina as the country's leader. For months, Rajoelina - a disc jockey turned broadcasting magnate who had been mayor of the capital - has been pressing Ravalomanana to step down as president. His confrontation with Ravalomanana had led to deadly clashes.

After weeks of insisting he would never resign, Ravalomanana announced yesterday afternoon he was ceding control to the military. Almost as he spoke, Rajoelina was parading triumphantly through the capital surrounded by armed soldiers and an adoring crowd after seizing control of one of the city's presidential palaces.

Rajoelina had said in an interview with the French television station LCI that he had the support of "soldiers, government workers, unions, that is to say all the country's key groups."

"Power belongs to the people," Rajoelina said. "The people give power, the people can take it back."

Yes, I can see why this is troubling the globalists and their agenda-pushing papers.

Norbert Lala Ratsirahonana, a former chief of staff and former chief of the constitutional court, acted as master of ceremonies for the military announcement, lending the move legitimacy.

Rajoelina - at 34 too young to be president, according to the constitution - accuses Ravalomanana of misspending public funds and undermining democracy in Madagascar. This impoverished island off the coast of southeastern Africa is known both for its natural beauty and its history of political infighting and instability.

Over the weekend, Rajoelina declared himself president of a transitional government and promised new presidential elections within two years. On Monday, he called on the army to arrest the president, but soldiers refused.

Ravalomanana had said Rajoelina sought power by unconstitutional means. A breakaway army faction had claimed it was neutral and interested only in restoring order, but the split in the military had greatly weakened Ravalomanana.

Ravalomanana's rags-to-riches tale - he started out selling ice cream from a bicycle - was once a source of popularity. But Rajoelina, tapping into the dissatisfaction of this country's impoverished majority, was able to portray Ravalomanana as interested primarily in further enriching himself and increasingly out of touch with the suffering of ordinary people.

Rajoelina, though, comes from the wealthy minority that has had a stranglehold on Madagascar's politics.

Why do I get the feeling that the globalists have their man in place no matter what?

This article a cover for the coup?

Early yesterday, Rajoelina entered one of the capital's presidential palaces, welcomed by soldiers who had declared they would no longer accept orders from Ravalomanana, as well as by traditional healers who specialize in exorcism - the palace had been the site of a deadly clash between anti-government protesters and troops last month.

The soldiers had seized the deserted palace, usually used for ceremonial purposes, on Monday night. The president was in his official residence, surrounded by supporters and army guards.

Tensions have been rising since late January, when the government blocked an opposition radio station's signal. Rajoelina supporters set fire to a building in the government broadcasting complex as well as an oil depot, a shopping mall and a private TV station linked to Ravalomanana. Scores of people were killed.

Days later, soldiers opened fire on anti-government protesters, killing at least 25. The incident - at the palace seized Monday - cost Ravalomanana much of the support of the military, which blamed him for the order to fire at demonstrators.

Despite losing support at home, Ravalomanana had been backed by the international community because he was the democratically elected president, and because Rajoelina's tactics were seen as unconstitutional.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is "gravely concerned about the evolving developments in Madagascar," UN associate spokeswoman Marie Okabe had said earlier yesterday at headquarters in New York.

African Union Commission Chairman Jean Ping told journalists earlier yesterday that if the military leadership handed power to Rajoelina, as it later did, that would violate the constitution. According to the AU's charter, coups or unconstitutional changes of government are cause for automatic suspension from the bloc. The country is only readmitted when constitutional order is restored, usually by elections.

Well, the globalist institutions are worried so I assume they are not behind this coup; however, who knows? I'm certainly not going to find the answer in the newspaper.
