I’ve been lax about following African news this year. I used to follow it closely on the BBC World Service back when they broadcast on shortwave radio to North America, but they stopped doing that a few years ago. I still managed a score of 60%, but half of those were guesses.

Guess I need to add one more resolution to the list….

Wow, I read GlobalVoices religiously but only scored 60%. I’m ashamed but very happy Ethan put that quiz together. Happy 2006 everyone…

Sidebar comment here. I think that beteen the chinese, korens and the japanese they have captured approx 60 percet of bloggers !! I also remember the msft user stats for wallop seemed huge growth in the chinese arena. Now am off to do my african test, results follow :)-

Three correct! This is depressing. I bet I could have aced it too if I had gotten around to reading a recent National Geographic. I'm going to read it soon. September Africa issue. I am interested in what is happening in Ethiopia. All I know is there is fighting going on. Never see anything in the news about it; even used Google News one day and got no results.

Wow! I actually knew the answer to one of the questions. I also guessed four of them correctly. Somehow, I guess that if Ethan grades on a curve, I might actually pass, even though it is perfectly clear that I need to be reading Global Voices much more often myself.
