Botswana /bɒtˈswɑːnə/, officially the Republic of Botswana (Tswana: Lefatshe la Botswana), is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. The citizens refer to themselves as Batswana (singular: Motswana). Formerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name after becoming independent within the Commonwealth on 30 September 1966. Since then, it has maintained a strong tradition of stable representative democracy, with a consistent record of uninterrupted democratic elections.
Botswana is topographically flat, with up to 70 percent of its territory being the Kalahari Desert. It is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west and north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. Its border with Zambia to the north near Kazungula is poorly defined but at most is a few hundred metres long.
A mid-sized country of just over 2 million people, Botswana is one of the most sparsely populated nations in the world. Around 10 percent of the population lives in the capital and largest city, Gaborone. Formerly one of the poorest countries in the world—with a GDP per capita of about US$70 per year in the late 1960s—Botswana has since transformed itself into one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, now boasting a GDP (purchasing power parity) per capita of about $18,825 per year as of 2015, which is one of the highest in Africa. Its high gross national income (by some estimates the fourth-largest in Africa) gives the country a modest standard of living and the highest Human Development Index of continental Sub-Saharan Africa.

Chinese trade in Africa reached US173 billion dollars in 2014, boosting growth rates on the continent and creating much needed infrastructural development. Doing Business in Botswana explores the impact of Chinese investment on Botswana's economy.
The call for diversification of African economies is not new and in fact has been the rallying call from many of the continent's governments. How has Botswana fared in finding new markets and new revenue streams outside of the diamond industry?
In many countries across the globe the private sector is the engine for economic growth helping to create jobs, increase trade and provide specialised and non-specialised services .Through revenues from diamond sales, Botswana has grown from one of the poorest countries in the world to a middle-income economy. Doing Business in Botswana explores the government's efforts to diversify the country's economy from diamonds.

Early morning at the princess marina hospital in Botswana's capital Gaborone, a team of doctors is hard at work. But this is not your typical team that you would find in any hospital in Botswana. It is made up of a special group of doctors from China sent here with the sole aim of boosting the hospital's services. Princess marina is one of only two referral hospitals in Botswana. With a bed capacity of 567, it caters to an average of 600 patients per month, making it one of the most popular hospitals in the country. Much of that popularity is attributed to the special team of Chinese doctors working here.

The Okavango Delta, the world's largest inland delta.
Next to the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park is probably Botswana's next most well known conservation area. It is a diverse area, from the border at the Chobe River, to the now dry Savute Channel, and beyond to the borders of the Moremi Game Reserve / Okavango Delta. The Park is best known for its concentrations of elephant -- some 120 000 individuals, along with good numbers of buffalo, antelope and predators. Birding is also excellent, with many migrants visiting from November to March. Although there is much to see in the Chobe National Park, it is usually combined with Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta. A Provision Media Production for Botswana Tourism. 2011

Infrastructure is a vital requirement for the economic growth and development of any country, and diamond rich Botswana is no exception. The land locked country has a fairly solid road network. It's passenger rail network has however been lying dormant since 2009, as carriages were old and dangerous to use. As Angelo Coppola reports, last year, the government decided that had to change.
The terror attack on Brussels Airport is the latest in a series of deadly terror attacks in Europe. In Africa, particularly West Africa, there are worries that terror groups are aiming to increase their terror activities.
Britain’s airports and nuclear power stations have been told to tighten their defences against terrorist attacks in the face of increased threats to electronic security systems. Security services have issued a series of alerts in the past 24 hours, warning that terrorists may have developed ways of bypassing safety checks. Intelligence agencies believe that Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) and other terrorist groups have developed ways to plant explosives in laptops and mobile phones that can evade airport security screening methods. It is this intelligence which is understood in the past fortnight to have led the US and Britain to ban travellers from a number of countries carrying laptops and large electronic devices on board. Now there are concerns that terrorists will use t...
Alongside 45 Tunisian and international organizations, including Nobel Peace Prize winning ones, Human Rights Watch has launched a campaign titled “No To Terrorism, Yes To Human Rights”.

In this video, Tunisian filmmaker and Alaeddine Slim says he was abused by counterterrorist forces and “lost 33 days of his life” in prison. More about the campaign:

South Africa is not only impressive due to its size but also due to its amazing variety of fascinating scenery. Its paradise-like flora and fauna plus its historic and famous landmarks are totally captivating. Johannesburg is a modern metropolis and with around a million and a half inhabitants is the capital of Gauteng Province and the largest city in South Africa. It was founded in 1886 when gold was first discovered at Witwater Beach. Although European influence is obvious in South Africa the first inhabitants of this fascinating country were of course the various indigenous people of Africa and the village of Lesedi around twenty five kilometres south of Johannesburg provides many insights into ancient Africa’s traditions and dances.

Your scars where still showing when I first met you, baby
From all the wrong she had done to you
And I came along and applied a little loving
Slowly but surely I brought u through
Now she's back to recinlde that old flame
She's got a different angle, baby
But she's playing the same old game
Baby, don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
She's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me a victim too
Now I know she come around here everytime I leave
Cos she knows she's still on your mind, on your mind
See, even a wise man jumps in misery somewhere down the line
But only a fool will jump the second time
Our affair is growing stronger every day
Don't let her... steal our happiness away
Don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
She's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me a victim too
Now she's back to recinlde that old flame
She's got a different angle, baby
But she's playing the same old game
Baby, don't be the victim of a foolish heart
Don't let her lies get next to you
Ooh, she's just trying to tear us apart
And she's trying to make, to make me her victim too
Im not gonna let her make
Im not gonna let her um
Im not gonna let her make
Im not gonna let her um
Cant you see what she's doing to you boy?
