African Hope
Sometimes the "dark" continent seems, well, hopeless. You look at corrupt leaders like Zimbabwe's Mugabe and you just want to turn away and never look back.
But there's always a bright spot and today it looks as if Sudan may finally end its terrible civil war. In Congo things are stable, and as they've been going downhill for as long as anyone can remember that by itself is progress. Rwanda is making an effort to come to terms with the horrible genocide it experienced in the 90's and in Burundi South African troops are on the ground hoping to prevent another, more similar genocide.
Hope is something that is never in short supply amongst Africans, instead concrete results are. Lets hope that this time African hopes and dreams are not destroyed as they have been so many times before.
