...flatlands and bare rock hills that mark the Sahara's southern edge, Juba is a place of mud huts and plastic-bag roofs where buzzards lift lazily on the afternoon heat and children wash in the muddy waters of the White Nile. It has no landline telephones, no public transport, no power grid, no industry, no agriculture and precious few buildings: hotels, aid compounds and even some government ministries are built from prefab cabins and shipping containers.

...announcement, though sudden, was not surprising. With the staid middle-aged consumers of India's middle class giving way to urbanites and youngsters with a lot of disposable cash, not much hope was left for these two modest modes of transport. A Maruti-Suzuki spokesperson says the company made a conscious decision to phase out the car as the definition of "people" - in order words, India' vast middle classes - has transformed in the last two decades. In January 2010 sales of the M800 were down 55% over the same period the previous year as Indians opt for cars with features...
