Il professore di marketing Mahajan Vijay ci dice che parlare di Africa solo in termini di guerre, malattie e povertà significa scoraggiare soprattutto i piccoli imprenditori ad investire e rischiare in quel continente. Chi vive o è vissuto in occidente sa quanto sia vera questa osservazione.

"Somalia" is a tribal name disrespectful of the multi-ethnic reality of the area. It's wholly invented by the Italians in the early 1908s during the colonial period. This distortion must be corrected and "Somalia" should be replaced with another non tribal name. I will write in order to contribute in the construction of a new society which respects diversity and considers it enriching. I find it hard to write in English so you will often have to translate my pieces from Italian.

The 1964 Zanzibar Massacre: Arabs mass murdered by blacks
A friend of mine wrote me this mail :
"This is an interesting video showing the only footage of the ethnic cleansing of Zanzibar in the 1960s. Thousands of Arabs were killed in cold blood. The frightening thing is that this came about as a result of propaganda similar to what is being spread in the west now".
I think it is useful to reflect deeply upon this video and that historical events.

During the colonialism period, the European politicians removed the Banaadiri from the power and gave their land, Banaadir, like a gift to the Somaly tribes: it is an open wound.
