OH....MY....GOD


You know, when the people of Libya revolted against Gaddaffi I really did think they wanted a more tolerant leader. Maybe they do....but why this? You are looking at the back of a black Libyan. Since the revolts, there have been reports of migrant workers from sub-Saharan Africa and their passports being seized;thus barring them from returning to their homes. However THIS is wrong on so many levels. Arabs are already rumored to be racist against darker skinned individuals. Does THIS help that rumor and if it doesn't then why is this being done?
Disgusting.

In Rome.....


Normally at Zee Affairs we say "when in Rome." However, this time the practice is not starting in Rome. The Occupy protests which we can claim started with the Arab Spring, and caught on to the United States with "Occupy Wall Street", have also reached Rome, Italy and it looks as violent as ever. Looting, smashing stores, smashing police cars, being dounced with tear gas by police, all in an effort to stop greediness among the rich. We can only hope leaders are listening.
Let's wait and see what happens...
