Just in case you missed these two interesting stories from us this week. Here you go:
In Afghanistan a case of broken promises of a different kind - hundreds of people in northwestern Afghanistan are annoyed with the authorities for allegedly failing to give them promised wheat aid in return for dead locusts.
In Swaziland a case of old wine in new bottles and some seriously interesting innovations – As letter-writing falls away, postal services are increasingly facing redemption or irrelevancy depending on their ability to attract and retain customers. In Swaziland however, new uses are being found for an institution with branches in some of the remotest parts of Swaziland.
