About five thousand young, half-naked, dance before Mswati III, the last absolute monarch in Africa. All hopeful come to the casting in which the monarch elect the next "Mrs." (ya get a van Catorce). His harem of fornication is multiplied at the same rate as their finances emetic. Mswati, lord of an estate called Swaziland, landlocked country bordering South Africa and Mozambique, amassed a fortune more than encrypting 100 million, some have even calculated above 150 million. As, the 70 percent of their subjects live on less than a dollar a day.
But, the almighty king, Fondon and something to which suazilandesas find irresistible, do not think it for their physical, it has stirred the yard the past few days. He, like a good satrap and the lesson already learned from his friends in North Africa, been cut to the chase the bold attempt of his people to order food and freedom. Suazilandesas riots have resulted in several hundred detainees, some missing, lot of punches and a trail of blood that's least favorite Mswati III, that prefers fresh and young. Of course, sin only Testigos, when the protests were announced first thing he did stick his cabinet is to stop and expel the journalists.
South African computer becomes flimsy wooden tables and keep asking you to give them to t-shirts
Swaziland is one such example which demeans the world. I was almost a year ago for two days (overnight) in this small country. The truth is that good roads, that is, make is between the north and south exit is barely have time to open the window. A road mirage, the border had already been a declaration of intent. South African computer becomes flimsy wooden tables and keep asking you to give them to t-shirts. Two days were fun, in which I lived with two friends bizarre situations in hotels, restaurants and, even, with the Police. We stopped for speeding after caught with a mobile radar to get a ticket just to negotiate very low. We ended up making pictures with agents, who were dying of laughter when we asked to use the radar and we said "Paralus, Paralus and cobras our fine ". The last thing we hear when we got on the car was a white woman who had just stopped and told the police "I will go to fine for this", after telling the agents that would 120 by a road that the stop was 100. I guess then began another negotiation.
Since that shortsighted and superficial, Swaziland seemed a country poorer than others in the surroundings, without much charm, Green Hills, full of smiles and in which overturn that condescending look when we stumbled across the West African stereotypes (a nice view on the other hand, for them, a conviction). It was also the country where it was impossible to go to a bar, hotel or gas station without seeing the picture on the wall hanging Mswati III and his mother, it is likely that in this case does have some blame.
The happy country for a visitor like me is, therefore, the farmhouse of a wretch who squanders his fortune
A sweet vision hide the fact that Swaziland has, at least, a 30 percent of people infected with AIDS and low income per capita as I said before. I meant very poor, forgiveness. Life expectancy is 33 years, some studies, and 48 according to World Bank. No democracy or political parties, because the monarch abolished in 2003, not least because a year before the Parliament voted against buying a private jet to be infatuated with Mswati III and the cost, 48 billion, multiplied by two annual health budget. Their women, those chosen in the casting, as they fly first to Europe, U.S.; Dubai or Singapore to shop.
The happy country for a visitor like me is, therefore, the farmhouse of a wretch who squanders his fortune on his spectacular collection of mansions, limousines and sports cars and decides to beat them mercilessly when his subjects remember the hungry. One of those African political realities that cause disbelief, shame and disgust.
