Knight's End
Posted by Adam Blickstein

This strikes me as a little late in the game, your majesty:

On Wednesday, officials from Swaziland, Angola and Tanzania — the so-called troika empowered to speak for the Southern African Development Community, a regional bloc of 14 nations — called on Zimbabwe to put off the voting because the current crisis would undermine its legitimacy.

Taking a different tack, Queen Elizabeth II stripped Robert Mugabe, the country’s president for nearly 30 years, of his honorary knighthood as a “mark of revulsion” at the human rights abuses and “abject disregard” for democracy over which he is presiding, the British Foreign Office said Wednesday.

Mugabe has been stripped of his knighthood, honorary Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, whilst Tony Blair is still waiting for his Knighthood in the Order of the Thistle. Be patient, ye damsels in distress.

Off-road running is seen by most runners as a great escape from the hard and harsh reality of the roads; it is obvious that concrete and asphalt are harder on the body than dirt roads, and the landscape that one enjoys while off-road running is more scenic compared to busy streets or car-congested neighborhoods.

Cool post. Loved reading! It would have been even better if you have added some pics.

It is a great challenge to those government officials to resolve problems the problems of the country like human trafficking and crisis. But it does not mean that the citizens of the country will let their officials shoulder the problem. Everybody must participate. Because, if all are united, nothing is impossible as the line of the song says, "United we stand, divided we fall.".
