Don't call me Hitler. I'm drinking one final beer and trying to make it to bed at an unreasonable hour.

What do you mean "somehow the malaria". Do you have malaria right now?

No, but I have had it maybe five or six times. I don't respond to ilnesses the way my brothers do for example. Sometimes I hardly have to cough or anything, but I will always have a high fever. If I have a cold it can be 39°C.

Five or six times? Wow.

When you lived in Africa I presume?

That's what's so bad in countries like Zambia. Very few people die from malaria the first time they get it and it is very treatable when it is recognised soon enough. The access to the medication is generally poor in Africa though and people just keep getting malaria. As for prevention.. well.. back then the prevention methods didn't seem to do much for me. I got the tablets, we took measures against the mosquitos.. I still got it. The way I see it only big national programs can work. Mussolini might not be the greatest guy in history, but he did fight malaria very effectively.

I recently saw a picture of my friends there (although I honestly don't remember them all as I was four when we left, in part because I kept getting malaria) and my mother told me who had died because of malaria. It was one in two.

My nanny .

I hope the situation in Zambia will get better soon, it's one of the poorest countries in Africa.

I've had it a gazillion times but I never really made a connection between it and my other regular fevers/colds. I have noticed that I have a better immune system than most as I rarely ever get sick. And when I do get sick I handle it better than most people.

Zaire (Kinshasa) and also Abidjan (Cote d'Ivoire). My parents lived between the two countries for more than 19 years.

My parents tell me there were lots of Lebanese families living by us in Sierra Leone.

Yes, not only in Sierra Leone but 80% of Africa, most of them left when the war started back home 1973.

My father left Lebanon for Africa, he made a fortune but unfortunately Africa is always unpredictable, revolution can happen anyday anytime and therefore your fortune and life is always at risk there. Specially if you're white and making lot of cash.
