Developments:
From the London Sunday Times, on the Ugandan election campaign: "Apart from a shooting incident on Wednesday when a reserve soldier panicked when challenged by a crowd, opening fire and killing several people, campaigning has been largely peaceful." Note that "apart from". And would an election campaign in London that involved multiple deaths be described as "peaceful"? The West clearly, and reasonably, expects less of Africa than of its own democracies. But a reader might also reasonably conclude that in the eyes of some Westerners Africans' lives are less valuable.
