1 I would have thought through the 80's and 90's we drilled enough wells to hydrate the entire fucking planet!

2 So? Not the white man's problem anymore and they are grown ass adults that should be able to figure out how to beg from the "charities" for a well. God forbid they should figure it out for themselves.

4 Writer Bulkin and his RU colleague's concern for the plight of thirsty Afri villagers and crisis laden refugees nearly brings tears to my eyes. The standard Euro blame is of course assumed by Bulkin.

After independence in 1960, the artificial social construct built by the colonialists did not disappear, but rather transformed into a system in which a military-political elite of northern origin maintains control over the state and its resources, while southern communities feel unprotected.

"Military political elite"....? Quickly please, someone add a Kremlin reviewing stand 'May Day' photo.

8 "Get yer REGNUM! ~~Ten kopecks~~ a dime!
Man, it's mammoth, SSSR Prime!
Every line is a treat...
And it's all you can eat!
You have nothing to lose but your time!"

Fresh Fish (from de area of de Nile)? Epidemic of Opacity? I mean, REGNUM's "paid by the word" tone's amusing, even endearing (to me, anyway), but sheesh... [Sunday NYT side of Choice graphic here]
