AUlostchick, my daughter is planning on studying abroad at Africa University in Zimbabwe next fall. Zimbabwe has so many problems right now, it would take too long to catalogue them all, but my daughter will be going with my blessing (assuming the country doesn't implode after the March elections). Part of the reason for my *relative* calm about this is because Robert Mugabe tends to view the establishment of Africa University in Zimbabwe to be a bit of a feather in his cap; as a result, it's been largely sheltered from some of the political strife found at other Zimbabwean universities. It's generally assumed that there are students in the classroom paid by the government to report on any anti-government rhetoric, so students and professors are fairly circumspect. And my daughter fully understands that she will be attending Africa U as a guest student, not as a political activist, and she's aware that she must be careful re: any political statements/activities. She intends to go, observe, and learn...
