Comments for Tanzania: Chasing Stories or: A Quest to Discover Agricultural Jihad at http://www.ratio-magazine.com , comment 0 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.ratio-magazine.com Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:12:22 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.ratio-magazine.com/20090520647/Tanzania/Tanzania-Chasing-Stories-or-A-Quest-to-Discover-Agricultural-Jihad.html#pc_74 A very interesting article. The sentences "And then, finally, I came across the website for Iran’s “Ministry of Jihad-e-Agriculture”, which I assume must take its name from the less Western, more literal translation of “jihad”, meaning a struggle for improvement" to me a Tanzanian, shows how the Western media sometimes do not take time to understand the different vernacular. Could it be a human weakness? Without localisation, a British media house broadcast can confuse the average American and vice versa. The Iranian website error on presiding President? I have noted this in so many website and wonder how difficult it is to update information every 5 years? Though in this case, the Iranian president spokeman should have provided better details. Lastly, though I agree that Tanzania customer service leaves a lot to be desired, this article seems to over-stress it stating "suprisingly" several times. Well, still an interesting story. By now, I should hope Rachel has heard about "Kilimo Kwanza". - Abella Wed, 19 May 2010 13:28:02 +0100
