The individual who said that the presidency of Rwanda was crafted in heaven was not a leader/elite he was an African the one you classify as a people. May be you would read my posting before you jump on it?

Edward,

You should avoid using the term "Africans" and ALWAYS distinguish between African LEADERS/ELITES and the African PEOPLE.

The PEOPLE learn but the LEADERS/ELITES don't seem to have anything upstairs.

Another coconut election is being organized in Egypt.Care to comment on that?

NettersI ask again do we ever learn? Look on a nation like Congo which has all its minerals flying to The States at a cost of its population, The Americans are mining it from the UN.But do you remember that Paul Kagame man, the one who was called a new leadership in Africa? Yes I am talking about the same Paul Kagame who has been pushed into our throat as the most democratic man in Africa, in fact one Rwandese stated it this way "Paul Kagame's leadership was created in heaven" Well guess what Rwanda is also not accepted in the council. How idiotic can we be? Just curious !!!! EmToronto================================== U.S. Tries to Exclude Some >From U.N. Group 
By BARRY SCHWEID, AP Diplomatic Writer Wed Aug 31, 4:38 PM ET
WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is trying to exclude seven nations from a new U.N. human rights council, saying their own records make them unfit to sit in judgment of others.
In a reform proposal, Sudan, Liberia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Somalia, Sierra Leone and Rwanda would not be eligible to serve on a revised human rights council.
The seven countries are subject to sanctions by the U.N. Security Council for human rights abuses and the United States wants to keep "some of the worst offenders off," Kristen Silverberg, assistant secretary of state for International Organizations said Wednesday.

Forming a new human rights council to replace the "discredited" Human Rights Commission is an important part of the U.S. agenda for reform of the United Nations, she said.

Besides excluding the seven nations, the United States is proposing that appointments to a new council have the support of at least two-thirds of the members of the U.N. General Assembly.

That would be helpful in keeping some of the worst offenders off, Silverberg said.

Other nations that also seek reform have other approaches, and all will be discussed by U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and other nations' U.N. representatives, she said.

"We feel very good about our agenda and on progress we are making in persuading other member-states," Silverberg said.

"There is a lot of support in the U.N. for this kind of thing," she told reporters.

Reform is a key item on the agenda of the U.N. General Assembly session. President Bush is expected to touch on the problem in the annual presidential speech Sept. 14 and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will spend more than a week in New York holding talks on human rights and other issues.
