After her ten-year marriage begins to crumble, Amber Smith finds satisfaction in the arms of a mysterious Nigerian named Blessing. But when Blessing experiences a renaissance of his own with another woman, Amber must follow a new path. Which direction will she take? The idea that Mike was having an affair didn't bother me that much. It was ironical that his own indiscretion if it was true, would be so close to home as well. It wasn't really that I still loved him because, I didn't. It wasn't also that I was jealous because, I wasn't. It was just that I'd never thought of him as one who would have affair. Could this be true, I kept thinking? My thought went back to Blessing, how I wished he was here to share the moment with me and watch the rain fall. I thought about the way he usually talks to me, look at me and the way he touches me. These thoughts are not strange to me at all because at night, whenever I'm lonely, I often think about him. Whenever I feel disenchanted, which is often these days, I think of him. And most importantly, whenever I needed to remind myself how good a man could make me feel, I think about him.

Ordered to Kill

By: Sam Ekong

When his commanding officer crossed the line in Iraq by giving the one order he thought he should not have given, that did it for Maj. Eddy Matthews Graves. He was so pissed off that he sent something incriminating about the war to an editor at the New York Times. Shortly thereafter, he took it on the lam and went AWOL. Days after receiving the sealed envelope, the New York Times wrote a scathing half-page editorial that openly admonished the army and demanded that the commanding officer, Gen. Milton Xavier Fletcher, resign. The editorial did not say what the general had done. Two days after, tired and beaten, the general abruptly resigned, and he also didnt say why. He kept his lips sealed and left everyone wondering what couldve happened in Iraq. Right away, the congress, led by the opposing party, smelled a rat and began calling for all sorts of hearings and demanded that the rogue major be found and brought home for questioning. The White House panicked, and rightfully so, they shouldit was an election year. The polls were beginning to favor the opposition. If whatever caused the general to resign was damaging, they felt it would definitely tilt the upcoming election in favor of the opposing party if the major was brought home. They couldnt let that happenthe presidency was at stake. A decision had to be madefast. So they secretly ordered the major killed. However, they never counted on the resourcefulness and perseverance of those who wanted to see the major brought home-they wanted him alive. They were willing to go to any length to assure his safety even if it meant sacrificing other lives. The question is, will the major survive?

Land in the Struggles for Citizenship in Africa

By: Moyo, Sam,Tsikata, Dzodzi

The variety of land questions facing Africa and the divergent strategies proposed to resolve them continue to evoke debates. Increasingly, in response to the enduring problems of land tenure, there are land movements of all shapes and orientations, some reformist and others quite revolutionary in their agenda. However revolutionary, land movements have tended to ignore the land tenure interests of women, pastoralists, youth and indigenous people. Several of these longstanding and emerging issues in land tenure include the role of the state in land tenure reforms; urban land questions, the nature of land struggles and improvements; and, the impact of land tenure developments on particular social groups and countries. An overarching concern is the extent to which land rights are being commodified, through the conversion of land held under customary tenure systems into marketised systems. The consequences of this include growing land concentration, land tenure insecurities, diminishing access to land by various sections of society, including the poor, women and less dominant ethno-religious groups. This volume brings together different studies on Africa's land questions exploring emerging land issues on the continent in terms of the wider questions of development, citizenship, and democratisation. The chapters discuss the land question through a variety of themes. Some focus on the agrarian aspects of the land questions, while others elucidate the urban dimensions of the land question.
