Vanishings that haunt Ireland
Article Abstract:
Police officers in Ireland now seem to be taking seriously the possibility that there could be a serial killer operating there. This follows the disappearances of six young women between Mar 1993 and Jul 1998. Four of the disappearances took place in the same area, but police believe that there may also be connections with two other cases. They are also looking into at least six other murders and disappearances of women going back as far as 1979. Some of the relatives of the women who have disappeared believe that the police investigation has been badly managed.

Ghosts of war haunt the line where a journey may once have been your last
Article Abstract:
The railway journey from the port of Beira in Mozambique to Mutare, Zimbabwe, was until 1992 extremely dangerous, and passengers required the protection of Zimbabwean troops. Now that the civil war has ended, the railway line has the potential to play a role in Mozambique's economic revival. Beira has received extensive investment, as has the railway line, and traders are now able to travel up and down the line with their goods, some even going into Zimbabwe to purchase goods.

Mozambique swaps war for a new slavery
Article Abstract:
Mozambique is becoming a prime target for South Africans seeking to set up business ventures. This is particularly the case in Maputo, which is beginning to see economic recovery. Some Mozambiquans welcome South Africans, believing that they are assisting the growth of their country's economy. However, others feel that South Africans are beginning to exploit Mozambique and that Mozambique is in danger of losing its identity.
