Apparently there have been elections while I've been away and as with any African election process, there has been surrounding violence and claims of fraud and the such. To Mwanawasa's credit, the economy in Zambia has grown greatly in the last 5 years. I have watched the Kwacha rise since I was first there, an encouraging sign for all who care about this country. I know nothing of the other candidates, so I cannot comment on them. I hope Mwanawasa's call for unity and peace will be heeded.
