Trouser trouble.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Good to see third world standards being maintained by people who refuse to enter the 21st century. Amazing how we can fly to the moon yet still think like cavemen. It makes you wonder if religeon is not the root of all evil and halting man's intillectual progression.

It's not religion thats the problem, it's human beings who will use any justification to control others. Some just like to use religion, others use politics, and some use money.

A Sudanese female journalist, facing 40 lashes for wearing trousers in public, is resigning from a United Nations job that grants her immunity, so that she can challenge the law on women's public dress code.
 
She's brave.

Meanwhile another female journalist who wrote an article supporting Ms Hussein has been charged with defaming the police, which can carry a hefty fine.

Cheers for the updates Dairyflat.
 
It gives us an insight to the world and how and what some people rank as an important issue. Flogging a woman for wearing trousers is not my idea of national importance in a country where poverty, things like HIV and hunger should be top of the agenda.
