I didn’t know what else to do with these created newsletter things. Posting it on a forum shared by writers and readers from and beyond one of Africa’s strongest nations with hectic identity issues and self-loathing seemed optional. And opted for YES, did I, without much doubt or second-guessing what the repercussions could mean for the rest of us.

So here you go. Attached, in PDF format, are newsletters produced by a team of reporters (including the person writing this note) at the African Union summit in Addis Ababa that closed at the opening of this month called February 2008.

I hope you either benefit somehow from these newsletters or, at the very least, find them as amusing as much as our little team found it truly exhausting.

PS: Just discovered that uploadingg PDF documents takes forever. Then discovered that this link does the trick; find newsletters by clicking on this bit of writing:
