“I did history at school, but that was events, not the real things in Mantsoba's prophesies”.

[David Coplan 2002]

The idea of Africa has been tantalising to the West ever since Aristotle in his Historia Animalium reported to the effect that ‘a certain proverb [paroimia] is current that Libya always produces something new - aei Libye pherei ti kaino.’
