Time have really flown. 2004 has been a year of great distress and despair more especially in the poor and volatile regions of the globe. Peace-talks came to a grounding halt in most regions. Hunger have claimed so many lives in Africa and certain parts of the Great Asian region. Talk of HIV/Aids. It's been a catastrophy. It's been a tough and busy year for the United Nations Organization. Just as they thought Iraq issue was settling down, the American's re-elects Bush to office. When Koffi was just about to round up on Eastimor issues, Darfur breaks loose. The entire world has been under heavy stress. No wonder the Pychologists are making more money these days that the Gp's. Now we have to wait and see what becomes of the Middle East after Yasser's Death. Persoannaly, I pray for Peace.
