So when Iddi Amin fought so hard to establish an
African high way why did we call him a KIjambiya? Man we have ran circles in
this life one wonders whether in the grave we will walk straight !!
Just thinking out loud.

Dear
Duggan,
Sorry I have not been
successful in opening your attachment but I was intrigued about this project
on the topology of road networks linking Africa's
capitals.
There are some
Pan-Africanists comrades in South Africa who also, for some time, have set
their minds on this very concept of a revolutionary African
transportation and communications network.
Indeed we don't have to wait for the slave master to do
this, for if he ever does he will always skew it to his
interests.
Classical Greece and Italy, and
imperialist England are islands and because the energy expenditure over
water was/is so cheap, they were able to establish early far flung routes for
conquest, pillage and plunder.
The energy expenditure to move over
land, say from Lagos to Nairobi, is so prohibitive that to this
day Africa has to still come up with a solution.
I imagine you may want to
link up with these compatriots in Azania. i.e.

Have you seen the new World Bank report that
was released during the recent US-Africa Infrastructure Conference in
Bethesda, Maryland? Authors are Buys, Deichmann and Wheeler of the
Development Research Group -- they propose linking all 42 mainland capitals
plus 41 other cities with upgraded highways at a cost over 15 years of US$35
billion (including maintenance) ...
I have seen almost nothing in print about this,
so I thought you might be interested.....
