They are much less <br />optimistic about recent and future<br />events than the report you link to.<br />The Quaker Peace Network----Africa,<br />according to one of the articles,<br />recently observed a series of elections in Burundi, and is preparing to observe forthcoming elections in Kenya. Several people were killed in Burundi, and <br />in Kenya Friends are preparing for the worst (while praying for the<br />best). Friends do not consider <br />such elections satisfactory, even though big international NGO's may do so. There is still a very long<br />way to go.<br />Peace, Jeremy MottJeremy Mottnoreply@blogger.com
