Lumumba and the Congo

The Congo isn't in a good place at the moment. People often cite it as an example of Africa's inability to govern itself. Watch this documentary on he assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the first president of Congo, and tell me who are the great contributors to Africa's problems.

Jamaica Justice System Reform Project

Today I found the site of what seems to be a joint project between the Canadian Bar Association and the Ministry of Justice charged with the modernization of Jamaica Judicial System. The findings of the report were made public in 2006. I hadn't heard much about the report when it was published, but given how long it has taken the Government to implement the recommendations of the Matalan Initiative I am not surprised. Take a look. I haven't read them yet, but will do so soon.
