The silence of major governments in Africa continues to be shocking.

There seems to be a frenzy, a momentum to grab up anything you can. The decisions seem to be dictated by money and political expediency.

Failure to immediately comply with human rights standards will deepen the human-induced tragedy already inflicted on the survivors of the tsunami.

There was a brief silence. I think I heard snow falling.

Silence is so accurate.

Such a deep silence surrounds me, that I think I hear moonbeams striking on the windows.
