Chien-Andalou

From Tintin in Congo, by Georges Prosper Remi aka Hergé, enthusiastically embracing the spirit of colonialism in a rather lame comic book from 1930.

When in his fifties, Hergé was plagued by recurring nightmares filled with whiteness.

What looks like a serious oil spill from the past, some 50-70km north of Maputo

Either the 16.000 tons of crude oil spilling from the Katina P did not all drift South in '92, or there has been another spill. Not sure how happy the turtles and fish are with these crusted lumps being broken down again by the sea.

About 10 seconds before this fast moving thunderstorm hit us with more wind and noise than rain.

Gaddafi's personal gun was most likely part of a 2009 arms deal between Belgium and Libya. A deal licensed by the Walloon Regional Government (who happens to be the one and only shareholder of Belgian arms manufacturer FN Herstal) because the guns were going to “escort humanitarian convoys to Darfur." In the period 2004-2009 Belgium supplied 18 million EUR worth of small arms to Libya. Way too much, but a lot less than the 600 million EUR supplied by Italy, France and the UK for anything up to military planes. No wonder both Italy and the UK were pushing hard to lift the EU's weapon embargo in 2004. And after arming him, all these countries readily joined the war on Gaddafi.

Caught inside, a frog or toad? They eat mosquitoes and cockroaches -I've seen it- and the dog let's them live, so it's all good.
