I will start by commenting on Hillary's Clinton visit to Kenya.Personally i thought she tried her level best not to upset us with the usual American arrogance that we have been exposed to in the past.I liked everything about her tour to Kenya especially the public debate at the University of Nairobi.
One person in the audience asked Hillary why America endorsed the election of President Kibaki in 2007 but later receded on that decision.The person went even further and asked why America and Europe (the world's imperialists slave masters)now support the Zimbabwean Government after a power sharing deal between President Mugabe and Morgan Tsvangirai who is now prime minister. Hillary Clinton's reply was that the elections in Kenya were free and fair but were full of irregularities as compared to Zimbabwe where there was voter intimidation and pre-election violence but no tallying irregularities.She went on further and admitted that the 2007 elections in Kenya were not different to those of the USA in the years 2000 and 2004.Mrs Clinton informed the Kenyan Masses that America supports free and fair elections but is also aware that the losers of elections are always tempted to incite violence.....apparently she was on point......that is exactly what happened in Kenya.The losers planned and executed the violence.We want justice now.If no one will give us justice then we will give ourselves justice using the law of natural justice.We want Guns.
Anyway, Mrs. Clinton kept on insisting that Obama's Government wanted Africa to come-up with solutions to its own problems something which i found very contradictory...she even said that she supports the local tribunal!!So why then lecture top leadership on good governance/corruption and impunity which, clearly is an attribute of almost all leaders in Africa.It is well known that money stolen from Africa by corrupt individuals from Africa and from the rest of the world,is in Europe, Australia , South East Asia, America, Caribbean islands etc
Kenya has been trying to recover money stolen from public cofers for the past six years.If Europe and America are to talk about corruption, then let them assist Kenya to recover this money.
Africa requires the following things to be "Independent"
-Africa requires to feed itself
-Africa requires to maintain its heritage(iam not saying that we maintain all the old traditions)
-Africa requires to "reclaim" the knowledge to cure our diseases (missionary's explorers and colonialists stole it from us"
-Africa requires a solid education system.
- Africa requires a big Army and a Weapon of Mass destruction.
After achieving the above goals....the word sanctions will not apply.
