The soccer war 2

When Kapuscinski left Algeria, things did not get any better, he got into Africa and faced the problems that they were having. Through the pages read Kapuscinski has a way of writting his reports and what he lives in a way that it becomes personal to us. He has shown the experiences and the wars between UPGA and NNPD in Nigeria. When I read the book, I can see everything so clearly that I fell in the time period. He talks about an uncovered conspiracy against the republic and an attempt on Sekpu Tourè's life. With his writting we can see the way that country was controlled and full of militaries and policemen. There was a lot of security In Accara, and that has not changed much in todays world. '' Will you swear that this pencil will not fire?'' (Pg.121) This would be a perfect example of what happens today after the attempt of September 11. The reports of this author are really straight to the point, he shows details, explains and makes us fell what he is feeling but he is straight. ''I had driven through fice countries. In four of them, there were states of emergency. In one, the president had just been overthrouwn, in a second the president had saved himself only by chance; in a third the head of the goverment was affraid to leave his house...'' (Pg 127) This shows us that the world has always been in war, and that things have not change and things are as insecure as they were before. "Everywhere there was an atmosphere of tension, everywhere the smell of gunpowder" (page 127). This wars have become a desaster and a huge problem in Africa. Kapuscinski shows the horrifing situation that he lives and how crueld the world has always been.
