After 9 months in Darfur, it is maybe the right moment to start a small comparison:
In Darfur, you use a donkey to carry water between the water tank and your house.
In Switzerland, you take a bath and pee in potable water.
In Switzerland, with 100 dollars, you have a pizza and a few drinks with friends.
In Darfur, with 100 dollars, you can take care of your family for one month.
In Darfur, the owner of 10 cows is a very rich man.
In Switzerland, the owner of 10 cows is a looser, farmer.
In Switzerland, if there is an electricity cut, you ask to your wife if she has been informed about it in advance and call the owner of the apartment.
In Darfur, if there is an electricity cut, you keep drinking your tea.
In Darfur, if your guest is invited at 14H, he arrives between 15H and 16H and says "How are you my friend?".
In Switzerland, if a train is 4 minutes late, the driver apologizes for the inconvenience.
In Switzerland, if you get a warm beer, you complain and never come back in the same pub.
In Darfur, if you get a warm beer, you thank Jesus and come back the next day, praying for the same miracle to happen (ok... maybe just me)
In Darfur, if you don't have a family, you parents, brothers, uncles and cousins are dead.
In Switzerland, if you don't have a family, you are unmarried with no children.
In Switzerland, when it is 25°C, you take off your shirt and jump into a lake.
In Darfur, when it is 25°C, you wear a pullover or a coat.
In Darfur, if somebody rapes your wife, kills your father and beats your children, you pray God for better days to come.
In Switzerland, if somebody rapes your wife, kills your father and beats your children, you call the police, put him in jail and make the news for one year, if not five.

la vraie question est: peut on comparer ce qui n'est pas comparable?
2ème questions: les paysans sont-ils des losers ?
1. Non. Mais c'est la demande que j'ai le plus souvent.
2. Non. Et cela n'a jamais ete le sujet.
