[edit] Conflicting casulties figures

According to the Gustav Adolf von Götzen article the casulties of the Maji Maji rebellion were: "It is estimated that up to 300,000 Africans were killed, while the German side lost 15 Europeans and 389 African soldiers, according to official data compiled by Götzen." This article states otherwise. Fred26 10:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hongo and the misleading link

I checked the link from the name "Hongo" and found, correctly enough, a disambiguation page for it. What I was disappointed to see, was no further link to anything other than Japanese or Asian persons or meanings. I challenge the usefullness of linking the name Hongo at all in this article, since there is nothing truly related to the use of the name Hongo in this article. Wouldn't it be better to remove the link until someone writes about the African version/use of Hongo?

[edit] Organised famine as a weapon against conquered people

"The New Is Not Yet Born: Conflict Resolution in Southern Africa

By Thomas Ohlson"

German authorities created famine as a weapon to crush the Maji Maji rebellion.

Should be added to article. Perhaps also a series/template of German military use of famine should be created considering plans to starve Polish population in WW1 and Hunger Plan--Molobo (talk) 05:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
