Africa...(5/1)



I worked on a very brief review of the economy development of Africa today, and viewing the map of Africa in different colours, I feel like missing a bit the continent...The last time when I was there went back for nearly a year and a half but I feel like centuries after stepping out from the natural homeland of the wild world. To me, this is always a motherland of mysteries and unknown beauties. I do not have much knowledge & updates about the countries in the developing world, but I think the generalised interpretation to these numerous countries in Africa does mis-represent a bit the picture. When I have some time, I hope I can visit some more places there again. Indeed, the last trip to Kenya is quite an impressive journey and I did get a feel about the natural landscape and the incredible animal migration. As I always say, the world is just too spacious for every species who shares the resources of this world. When I look back to the photos I took, I touch a sense of wildness and freedom again. The book of 雷競璇 that I read talks about the student life of the author during his study of African politics in Bordeaux arises me again my passion and aspiration to Africa. A friend which I met during the trip emailed me this week, and his devotion to travel and exploration in some other parts of the world moves me a lot. Guess I better spend some time reading the review compiled by the journal Moci...

田中遇襲,徒手擊斃猛豹...(23/6)

路透肯亞奈洛比電---肯亞當局週三說,一名73歲的農夫正在肯亞山附近的田裡工作,不料長草中突然竄出一隻大花豹攻擊他。穆魯古本來手裡拿著一把大刀,但他把刀扔下,一拳捅進花豹的血盆大口,然後慢慢將牠的舌頭拉了出來,任由牠發出痛苦哀嚎。

這隻花豹一口咬住穆魯古的手腕,還用利爪抓他。「有個聲音小聲地告訴我丟掉大刀,把手伸進牠的大嘴中。這一定是上帝的聲音,所以我照辦了,」穆魯古說。事後一名鄰居聽到慘叫聲而前來查看,將垂死的豹子砍死。

這起事蹟本月稍早一傳出,穆魯古立即成為村子裡的英雄。政府當局還給他免費醫療服務。肯亞野生動物事務官員邁納在向路透證實這件事時還說:「那傢伙能活著真是幸運。」
