Bridges With Africa:

This week it's about aiding and abetting warlords! Quite an accusation - and especially if the recipient is the president of Liberia... We have the story. There's Video on the Radio: all about grinding mills and feminism. And we continue our Summer Music Special series with the rebel woman from Zimbabwe - Chiwoniso! And we take a look at your letters.

 

 

It's a little machine, but it's had a big effect on the lives of women in Burkina Faso. Motorised grain grinders, funded by international aid, are freeing them up to focus more on children's education and money-making enterprises. But the machine hasn't broken down all barriers between the sexes.

Nation-building may seem to include the effort of every-one except the un-realistic curious characters of society. International trade may not differ among nations except that we may have to understand the terms and mode of transactions. Either by way of disguised educational and currency exchange mechanism or eye catching monuments; the comparism remains the same. However super-power rivalry, does up-set clever nations.
