| UT student shot during Fort Sanders robbery; suspect sought
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh but I'm just a cautious and alert person. Maybe it's growing up in Memphis or even a bit of military slipping out but I know I'm not putting my faith in KPD or UTPD to prevent criminals from doing as they please to me.

That was unlike the situation in most of post-colonial Africa where the second generation of leaders drove their countries to ruins, if the founding the fathers had not done that already. Most of Botswanas growth came from diamonds, the nations leading export earner. It is one of the African countries where mineral wealth has not caused more pain than joy. Asked during one of his lectures why Botswana essentially escaped the resource curse that has affected many African countries, Masire had four reasons.
