Telling Africa's story; the Coptic Kristallnacht; latest Dall'Oglio rumors
http://ncronline.org/blogs/all-things-catholic/telling-africas-story-coptic-kristallnacht-latest-dalloglio-rumors

reaction when a local bumps into one of us: "Why don't you report any
good news about Africa? Can't you find something to talk about beyond
Africans starving or killing each other?"
There's also a Catholic version of the complaint: "Can't you do any
story about the church in Africa other than condoms and AIDS?" ...
