Thank you. You covered an immense territory of information in this post. I did enjoy your recounting of the various Dracula iterations. I concur with your assessment mostly. I did watch the Oldham version recently and had forgotten that Keanu Reeves had played the Harker role. Interesting post.

Thank you for ICC vs ICJ, indeed I wasn’t aware of the distinction. Embarrassing but true.

Yeah, its a common mistake made worse by the fact that both courts have similar sounding names

Exceptional work, and you assisted my education. Why not give each section a post for better SEO and more readers? That way a person can pick the topic they're most interested in, if they don't have the luxury of time?

Very good article, lots of information. Loved the Nigerian media space. I really know next to nothing about Africa and find your articles very educational.

Excellent analysis, thank you! The linked videos would not play though, anyone else having the same problem?

I have actually tested all the videos, they all work fine. Have you tried erasing the cookies in your web browser? Alternatively, you can try a different browser and see if that allows the videos to play.

Thank you for sharing this, this is fascinating. From your map we can see that Uganda has a population in which Christians significantly outnumber Muslims. Do we know where the division of the population between the old (RC, Methodist, ...) and Pentecostal churches lies? Is the government largely representative of a population following 'old' Christian churches?

Uganda is 85% Christian and 15% Muslim. The government is a broad mixture of people who were raised as Catholics and Anglicans, but a significant minority are Pentecostal followers. Pentecostal Christian followers are better represented in the Parliament of Uganda than in the executive government itself. As would be noticed by many in the Western world, Pentecostal Christian legislators in the Parliament of Uganda have been busy passing sexual morality laws that upset left-leaning Democrat Party voters in the United States

Well done...I'm not surprised that pentecostals and their associated groups collect the vilest, nastiest types of christians in africa. It's a movement that soaked up the worst whites in America (and latinos, asians,, blacks.) People with an internal nastiness.
