re: potential for civil unrest in SA:

IMO, the effect of AIDS is going to overwhelm all others, when looking at the future of that country. The response of the SA government to this demographic catastrophe, has been dysfunctional in the extreme. There was an excellent series in the NY Times about this, recently. Denial, blaming, anger, and a near-total absence of any organized effort to change sexual behavior among the general population, this has been the official response, in South Africa as everywhere on that continent.

The only analogy to what is happening in non-Muslim Africa (a more accurate term than sub-Saharan Africa) today, is the Black Death in Europe, during the Middle Ages.
