11 November is also another remembrance day for me personally ~ this is the day in 1965 that the then Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) declared independence from Britain and plunged itself into a terrifying 15 year civil war.
It's sad when you go back in African history and see that a lot of nations have been fighting over that piece of land since before recorded history and the beautiful country of my birth has never known peace at all, ever.
They are still fighting over it ~ what is left to fight over?
