This is what helps you a lot, here, because this stuff really doesn't even get much play in our media. They aren't our neighbors, they aren't at war with us, they don't look like is, so we often have to dig for any news on Africa. I get a fair amount of information about Nigeria because the Church of the Brethren does a lot of mission work there and so I still hear things through those connections. I have people I grew up with over there right now.
