Name sake
I feel very bad when you get depressed by what WBK writes, but there are some
few issues that have happened in our history to teach us how Western countries
decide who wins an election but who leads what country. Allow me to hand you an
example here.
For a very long time when Saddam Hussein was in power, western countries
defined him as a dictator and a man that has chemical weapons which are a
threat to Israel and the Western civilization. Whatever that means. GWB
declared a war on Saddam Hussein for invading Kuwait and attacked him in what
we called The Kuwait war. The son came in and he as well had a single enemy,
Saddam Hussein and he lamented every day on how he must be removed from power.
The important part in this very long yet short history is to raise to you an
issue that The Kurds were portrayed all along as the victims of Saddam Hussein.
In fact Tony Blair GWB and company organized a no fly zone in Northern Iraq to
"protect the Kurds" European planes especially UK France Norway and American
planes flew over Northern Iraq for at least 10 years "protecting the Kurds."
But the west also sold the story that Saddam Hussein has chemical weapons for
he used it to kill The Kurds. In all removal of Saddam Hussein the west used
the protection of The Kurds as number one. Well The Iraqi government was
removed and Saddam Hussein was removed from power, my question to you is very
simple how are the Kurds doing today now that we have a government in power in
Iraq backed and funded by the west. These are people we flew F18s over for more
than 10 years claiming to protect them. And among the promises we gave them was
an independent state from Iraq that they never suffer. Edward the actions and
reactions of Kurds were built by the promises we handed them.
I do not know what will be your response on how they are doing for I am not
even sure you follow them, but I can tell you today that the Kurds are people
that you will never ever hear about for they were used and tossed. The Kurds
were made enemies of The Saddam Hussein government by both GWB and Tony Blair,
because the two wanted an excuse to remove Saddam Hussein from power. As you
read this writing, The Kurds are suffering so bad that they need Saddam Hussein
back in power than Libyans need Gadhafi. The entire ISIS debacle you see in
Baghdad actually started in The Northern Iraq, although it is never reported,
but I will hand you the latest to the Kurds. ISIS cut The Kurds off Iraq and it
is one of their strong positions in Iraq, they have killed as many Kurds as I
can state. Last Monday a small UN office in the Northern Iraq was reporting
between 35,000 to 60,000 displaced Kurds in its premise. By this very last
Monday, ISIS stopped any one from using the two roads down the Sinjar mountain
and those roads are the only way you can cross the border of Rabya to Syria.
From June when ISIS took over Tikrit their next target was The Kurds region.
They have suffered so much they have died so much and again the main victims
are children as always. Many are pleading for the return of Saddam Hussein for
under Hussein they never suffered this much. You are an intelligent man I am
thus going to leave you with only two questions {a} Why are all these reports
not public? But {b} Can we stand up today and go after The Kurds for electing a
poor leadership in Baghdad?
Just asking as always sir !!!!!!

WBK:
That observation is even more depressing that mine.
So, at election time, who gets to the ballot: a candidate approved by the west,
or the one chosen by the people?
We recently went through a nasty bout of electioneering in Kenya that has left
us with us some nfinished business. Yet, all through this time, you had
maintained that it was the west that did not want Uhuru to be president.
Have you changed your mind now, when you impune that the west would not allow
an enlightened African elected to a national leadership?
I would rather hold the African electorate responsible for voting mediocrity
into office. We do elect pathetic leaders because we are more concerned about
our tribe, religion or business interests than the qualifications and
leadership CV of the candidates.
And unless and until we start to place more premium of national objectives than
parochial subjective matters, we will continue to elect mediocre, brutal,
corrupt and murderous leaders.

You are assuming that the west would let Africa have enlightened leadership.
Let me be clear, I am not apologizing for anyone, but Africa is not yet in the
post-colony. And why is that the case?

Comrades,
What
puzzles me is the hypocrisy of the African leaders. They heap curses on
Western leaders and openly claim that they are
not to be lectured on or told what to do when they are asked to observe
human rights, and if you had been asleep only to hear the conclusion of the
speech of the African leader, you would regret missing the whole speech. You
say, yes, men are speaking, kick imperial arse, yes. Does that puzzle
anyone? Yes, at least me. The puzzle here arises when no single African leader
has rejected the invitation which basically was for proper and real lectures
of what they must do. They are in Washington attentively listening, smiling,
clapping even no point is put across, and nervously parting
their official wives; and none is opposing what they are told. Oh, wait to
hear what they will say when they return to their empires; they will curse and
curse reminding Western capitals not to lecture to them.
These people are hypocrites.
I
would have expected something like: President Obama, since you are the one
who wants to meet us, it is cheaper for you to come to our African Union (AU)
headquarters to meet us.
We are poor, at least that would save on our staggering and ailing economies,
we are frugal now since you people accuse us of lavish spending; come and meet
us here in Africa." That would have been good but well coated resistance,
though others could even openly refuse stating that Africa does not receive
lectures from
America, why did
they not refuse? Because they are hypocrites and fear the West.
I
am waiting to hear what they will say during the press conferences; how I
wish the Kateregas of the many countries could ask real questions not such
stuff like, "Mr.
President, I have tough questions for you: H.E., how was your trip to
Washington, DC? The next question is, "Did you like the trip?" Thank you Mr.
President!

from Gulu to

It's a
sad commentary of how pathetic our leaders are

remains a beggar continent that

Make no

You said Africa matters. I agree but only in
as

This is
part of the ongoing scramble for
Africa's
resources. It is about USA in particular countering
Chinese
influence in
Africa. When it comes
to commercial

everything else
takes a back seat. In short

US
opens
Africa summit with call for
political
toleranceBy Jerome CARTILLIER,
Shaun
TANDON | AFP – 17
minutes
ago View Photo
The United
States urged
African
leaders on Monday to respect political
differences,
saying that core
democratic
principles are vital to
achieving long-term
economic growth.
The call came at the
start
of
an
unprecedented US-Africa summit in
Washington attended by
35 presidents,
nine
prime ministers, three vice
presidents,
two
foreign ministers and a king.
The
three-day
program of talks
marks one of President
Barack Obama's biggest
initiatives for
Africa, against the
backdrop of an Ebola
outbreak and several security
crises on the
continent.
Washington is seeking stronger
economic
ties with Africa, having found
itself outpaced by
China and Europe
on a continent where the
International
Monetary Fund expects to see
5.4 percent growth this year
and 5.8 the
next.
But, in a sharp contrast to
China's business-first approach,
US
leaders first
addressed democracy and civil
rights
concerns.
Vice President Joe
Biden
met
African
civil rights leaders and
encouraged them to
fight
corruption.
"It's a cancer in
Africa as well as around the
world. Widespread corruption
is
an affront to the dignity of its
people
and a direct threat
to each of your
nations' stability, all nations'
stability," Biden said.
- More than
'strong
men' -
Secretary of State John
Kerry
said that a strong civil society can
bolster democracy and
the rule of law --
which are "not just
American values,
but
universal values."
"Diversity
is always a
better predictor of success
than uniformity. Because strong
institutions are always more
effective, more durable and
more
predictable than strong men or
women,"
he
said.
Outside the State Department a
crowd of
around 100
protesters, many from Washington's
large expatriate Ethiopian community,
demanded
the United
States not
cosy up to African
autocrats.
Citing the example of South
Africa's late anti-apartheid
champion
Nelson Mandela,
Kerry said that most
Africans supported limiting their
leaders
to two terms in office.
"We will urge
leaders
not
to alter national
constitutions
for personal or political
gain," Kerry
said.
But Kerry did not directly
name any of the long-serving leaders--
most of
whom were
nonetheless invited to the summit
including
Equatorial
Guinea's Teodoro
Obiang Nguema, Rwanda's Paul
Kagame,
Uganda's
Yoweri Museveni or Cameroon's Paul
Biya.
Angolan
President Jose
Eduardo
dos Santos, in office for 35 years,
was also invited but
sent the vice
president.
Earlier Mondya, Kerry met
with
President Joseph
Kabila of
the
Democratic Republic of Congo
and welcomed
his
efforts to tackle militia violence in the
war-torn nation.
The
United States has been
pushing Kabila to
step
down in line with his constitutional
limit when the vast nation goes to
the polls again in
2016.
The top US diplomat
also vowed
that the United States
would
support the work of embattled
gay activists
and
champion press freedom "including for
journalists charged with terrorism or
imprisoned on
arbitrary
grounds."
Ethiopia has recently
charged
seven bloggers
and three journalists with terrorism.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn
-- a key
security
partner -- was
nevertheless invited.
- Ebola outbreak -
While the United States had
hoped to focus on an
economic agenda, the public health
crisis caused by the Ebola outbreak -- which
has left almost
900 people dead in west
Africa since the
start of the year
-- is
also taking center stage.
On the sidelines
of
the
summit, Guinean President
Alpha
Conde and senior officials
from
Liberia and
Sierra Leone held talks on the
Ebola
response with Tom
Frieden, the director of the US Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, and
Sylvia
Mathews
Burwell, the US secretary of health
and
human
services.
Security officials were
expected to focus
on instability in South
Sudan and the
Central
African Republic and to discuss ways to act
against
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic
Maghreb,
Boko Haram militants from
Nigeria and
Shebab
militants from Somalia.
And,
despite
strong growth in
much of
Africa,
Ghana's President, John Mahama, said
that he is seeking an IMF bailout to
address a
currency
plunge and close a large fiscal
deficit in
what was once one
of
Africa's healthiest economies.
-Greater
involvement by
Obama
-
Obama, who plans personal
involvement
Tuesday and
Wednesday at the summit, is the
first US president of African descent but
devoted little
time in his first term
to the continent.
He traveled last
year to
Africa and
announced an initiative to bring electricity
to
at least 20 million
more Africans
through $7 billion in
private funds. But
officials have warned observers not to
expect flashy announcements from the summit
in
Washington.
South African
President
Jacob
Zuma said
he believed Obama's
African
background
"has not
helped" as he faces domestic political
pressure in the United
States not to put more focus on
Africa.
"I believe he
could have
done more,
but I think he always
was aware of this
fact, and
therefore
he
has navigated the situation very
well,"
Zuma told reporters.
