Quotes: "The sudden assertion of human criteria within a dehumanising framework of political manipulation can be like a flash of lightning illuminating a dark landscape

I am about to complete the course on elections using ICTs and i muct say that i appreciate what PenPlusBytes and Africa Elections Project (AEP)is doing for African countries as far as this issue is concerned. God knows for how long African countries have been missing such tools to get information as instantly as possible to the people on the ground who really need it.
i have begun to appreciate more what technology and internet can do besides browsing for fun and email. AEP took a step in the right direction when they decided to come out and teach ambassadors of information such as journalists how to be more prompt with information in today's world.
Botswana is one of the countries in Africa that needs this because election monitoring as far as i am concerned is not as intense as in other countries. During the course we came up with blogs by journalists regarding elections in Botswana coming on October 16 and we are going to keep on posting so please keep up with it.
