Alfred: I have tried everything but there seems to be no way to get this idiot to realise his responsibilities to the legion ... well, handful of friends, acquaintances and random browsers who occasionally read this blog. I'll keep on nagging at him - his feeble excuses of work, visiting Martine in Kigali (who has recovered well from her typhoid by the way), writing articles and so on can't hold out forever.

It's going to take quite a few bottles of TURBO KING - Rwanda's newest beer - to get him through this.
