While teaching journalism in Cameroon last month, I was once again astonished at just how big our cultural divide can be when it comes to determining who the victims are in society.
“We don’t care if it all goes to Hell. Lets just get out of here!” That is what the Senate seems to be saying when it voted this week its non-binding bill to partition Iraq.

The Yaounde train station is a two-story concrete rectangle with a grill-gate shutting off the main hall. When we arrived an hour-and-a-half before the train was due to leave for its sixteen hour journey North to Ngaoundere
