Choices spice up our lives. [XN Iraki]

Africa has had several descriptions over the years. At one time it was the Dark Continent, because nothing was known about it.

When I first flew across Africa at night from east or north, the term dark was real, more so after crossing the Mediterranean from Europe. The lighted homes are too few; no wonder we use lighting to estimate the economic status of a country or region.
