This is ludicrous. I have always said in the past that the leaders of Africa do not represent an iota of what the people of Africa stand for. I have also hoped that the leaders of this poverty stricken continent would proved me wrong but they are determined to forge ahead with anything that is sure to leave the continent stagnated or revert to ancient norms. Two things for sure are the underlying current that drifted their ship to where we see it today: (I) the inflow of Gaddafi’s oil wealth into their private bank accounts and (II) their own fear of drifting in the same direction of Omar Hassan al-Bashir, Charles Taylor or Robert Mugabe. When the drunkenness of power beseeches them to do what African leaders have always done, they do not want to answer questions tomorrow. Impunity, corruption, lock of accountability, bad leadership is the insignia of African leadership. They want us to be content with these and be assured that we can’t do better. Africans, we can do better and we should do better. We most demand from them what is ours. We most demand good governance.

In his piece entitled “ White Collar War Crimes, Black African Fall Guys,”

investigative journalist Keith Snow writes:

First note that the ICC can now be viewed as a tool of hegemonic U.S. foreign policy,

where the weapons deployed by the U.S. and its allies include the accusations of, and

indictments for, human rights violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

To understand this, we can ask WHY NO WHITE MAN HAS YET BEEN CHARGED

with these or other offenses at the ICC (International Criminal Court) which now holds

five black African warlords and seeks to incarcerate and bring to trial another black man,

also an Arab, Omar Bashir.

Why hasn’t George W. Bush been indicted ? Or what about Donald Rumsfeld ?

Dick Cheney? Henry Kissinger? Ehud Olmert? Tony Blair?

The sad fact is that the International Criminal Court has become terribly

politicized, as has the entire international justice apparatus.

The ICC has issued indictments, for the first time in history, against a sitting head of

state. Meanwhile, according to Snow, an Israeli weapons dealer, also a reputed Mossad

operative, is revealed to be shipping weapons into Sudan with Pentagon support.

And Belgium changed its law rather than prosecute Ariel Sharon for war crimes.

The double standard cries out to us.

One country in the West, however, increasingly stands out as a place where

justice can be found?and that is Spain. With its landmark indictment of

Pinochet and its current consideration of Israeli war crimes in Lebanon and

U.S. torture in Guantanamo, we increasingly look to the Spanish Courts with

hope. It was the Spanish courts that returned indictments against Rwandan

soldiers for genocide even as the world coddles U.S. proxy Rwanda and its

leader, Paul Kagame.

[http://www.infowars.com/infowars.asx] / [gcnlive.com] / [http://alexjonesringtones.net/] Life Is A Game. Have Fun . Luke 18:17 - Isaiah 11:6

Mompati Merafhe should get it from me that Botswana has created many enemies because of its abandonment of the quiet diplomacy. While, as a country, it has the right to take a certain position on any issue, Botswana should note that antagonizing other African countries is counterproductive.

You don't expect to create friends when you isolate yourself from the rest of the continent and especially if you side with imperialists on an African issue or issues that should be solved by Africans and for Africans.

Not so long ago Botswana was the only odd voice on decisions made by SADC. Botswana went to the extent of calling other regional leaders names, the same way they are doing with Gaddafi today. Not only that Botswana, through its Foreign Ministers, called for the closing of Zimbabwe's borders to starve and kill our people. Further to that they called for the bombing of Zimbabwe because of cholera.

If Merafhe thinks they are creating friends by such actions then he is day-dreaming. Only an insane person thinks they can create friends by bombing the countries they do not agree with and creating militias against such countries. History will judge them harshly on what they are doing today.

All the countries of Africa need to clean out their own house first. The greed and corruption in these countries come directly from the leaders of these countries. The leaders see the direct poverty and do nothing but steal more resources and when there time is up where do they go to Europe. Just like Mugabe has a 4 million dollar apartment in Hong Kong while his people are starving for hope. These leaders lack humanity for their own brother. Yes clean up your own act first.

If your friends are suicidal maniacs that kill other Africans then who needs your friends. That's ridiculous. Don't Africans ever stand on principle. How can you let an Arab like Bashir kill your own African brothers and sisters and you sit by and not even arrest him. Botswana is not winning friends amongst the African elite, but the people who are getting killed will know who stood up for them when no one else would or were too afraid too. This has nothing to do with the West.

Very fair and truthful comment.

Africans should stand up and condemn what is wrong and avoid diplomacy where it is more hurtful to the people than just one corrupt president.

You are dreaming and talking nonsense. Botswana stands up for what it believes in. Botswana has always opened gates to Zimbabweans and it is the first country to offer you any form of aid, in African style of being selfish, you drag Botswana's name in mud. You buy fuel and food in Botswana. South Africans were beating you guys up and you found refuge in Botswana. You got half a billions US dollars of loan from Botswana and nearly half that from South Africa, but no, you are not happy, why would you be, you are an african after all.

You should thank God that you are not in Dafur where there is no help to those struggling, due to the president you are defending now. Do you want Africans to be wiped out by arabs in Sudan? Gadaffi is an arab so he can defend Bashir. Do you remember Charles Taylor, why didn't this Gadaffi of yours defend him? Taylor is an african man. Gadaffi has always being a trouble maker, you remember Lockerbee, Scotland, Pan AM flight bomb? I bet you don't.

Grow up and face the facts. Africans are suffering at the hands of rogue leaders who hunger for power to the grave. Stop blaming colonialism, you cannot arrest anyone for it, but you can arrest african tyrant leaders now, Charles Taylor is gone. I hope this will be a wake up call for you.

Have a very nice African day, my brother.

This is ludicrous. I have always said in the past that the leaders of Africa do not represent an iota of what the people of Africa stand for. I have also hoped that the leaders of this poverty stricken continent would proved me wrong but they are determined to forge ahead with anything that is sure to leave the continent stagnated or revert to ancient norms.

Africans, we can do better and we should do better. We most demand from them what is ours. We most demand good governance. I applaud the government and people of Boswana.

Jay,

You raise important issue on Bashir being of Arabic origin. The same can be said for Gaddaffi. I however, never want to argue on those lines. But what I know and have observed is that once Takunya and company realise they have been colonised by Lybya, they will then raise the race card. They will start asking for their land from the Arabs. Why are they grabbing land from the white farmers in Zim? Why the race card now that was never an issue when they gave the land to the whites? I know they are going to argue that the land was taken away from them...yet they are now praising Gadaffi for telling them that he wants to rule Africa. Why did he get bestowed the king and kings of Africa? What more he want now? President of presidents of Africa? Mmmmmmm...wake up guys before you cry foul again....

Moks;

As you rightly predicted, I will tell the whole world that White colonialists were NOT given African land – they, at gun point, forcibly stole our heritage. It is being too simplistic to say that Rhodes took land from blacks. Rhodes brutally massacred and maimed for the Zimbabwean LAND; and he illegally and racially grabbed and/or destroyed everything that belonged to us – the gold in our homes, the mines, cattle, goats, sheep, dogs, cats and what have you.

As recent as the late 1960s and early 1970s, black people were still being dispossessed and being massacred by white colonialists specifically for claiming their land back – Chief Rekayi Tangwena immediately comes to mind. We are here talking about cruel and barbaric people who did not observe any human rights and the rule of law.

There is therefore, no basis for saying that we are “grabbing land from the white farmers in Zim” as if the land was theirs in the first place. How can one grab one's recovered property? How can anyone in their right state of mind accuse us of not respecting the law when we repossess, through the courts of law, our stolen property? How can anyone, if they are not idiotic, stupid and foolish but above all racist, say that a thief/robber, who robs at gun point, has any iota of a right to stolen and now recovered property?

We have refused to follow the jungle way of repossessing what rightfully belongs to us - we could have done a bush-to-office style and nationalized everything in 1980. We did not!! We waited for 10 years and followed, to the letter and spirit of the Lancaster House Constitution, the provision of ‘Willing-Buyer, Willing-Seller’ as was stipulated in the UK crafted 1979 Constitution.

We have enacted laws and have, through a democratic Parliament, changed the constitution so that we repossess our heritage in a dignified, democratic and civilized manner. We have made it a point, although we knew that the people in control of our land and resources are criminals that we will compensate whites for improvements they made on the land and NOT for the land itself. What more do they want?

We have also gone further to say that, whites who have chosen Zimbabwe as their home and wish to continue farming are free to do so and can remain with one farm, of their choice, from the vast tracks of land (the estates) they were illegally and racially given because of the color of their skin.

We have also said that those who chose to leave Zimbabwe (like mercenary Zungairwa) and live in and with their kith and kin and establish 'Rhodesia will never dies websites' are equally free to do so but CAN NEVER HAVE THE FREEDOM to destabilize our country.

We have not been found wanting in telling them and the whole world that the land reform programme has NEVER been and will NEVER be racism in reverse and therefore does not target whites because of the crimes committed by their stupid, unclever, retarded and racist fathers.

I will state once again, here and now, that we are for a united Zimbabwe that does not look at a person's skin color, race, religion, creed or what have you.

As long as one chooses Zimbabwe as one's home and shows unshakeable loyalty to and identifies with and is prepared to defend, with their blood, the State called DZIMBAHWE, they are free to live in our country. This, notwithstanding the fact that they were favored in every sphere of life at the expense of their fellow countrymen; they are and can be full citizens of ZIMBA Re Mabwe. This is what President Mugabe is fighting for and is being demonized for everyday.

Takuya,

I knew you were going to wail and wail about land issues in Zimbabwe. You never even touched on the potential parallels or hazards that your preferred happazard approach to the United Sates of Africa may bring. I have warned you guys that you handover Africa to dictators like Gadaffi at your own peril. It is sad that you want to get land from the whites and transfer it to Gaddaffi. Why not keep it to yourself if anything?

One of your like minded insinuated that I do not want African Unity becasue Africa is too diverse. That is ofcourse misrepresenting my position. My arguement is, it is too early, under the circumstances to RUSH the United States of Africa. I mean, we still have dictators like Mugabe and Gaddaffi clinging to power. Bongo died in power after being there for 40 years. Why not unsher in vibrant brains rather than stick to the rusty brains of the Mugabes of this world?

Moks;

So, now you have given yourself the right to tell us when it is time to unite and when not to? Who are you and who do you think you are anyway? We do not need your advice on anything African. Leave us to chart our own way forward. We have had enough of you colonialists wanting to tell us how to conduct our affairs.

We know what we are doing - where we are COMING FROM, where we ARE and where we are GOING - we know all that. Africa has the best brains in the world and so from the time of Nkrumah to the present day, we have been debating the issue of establishing the United States of Africa (USA). What is wrong if the US of Africa is established during Gaddaffi or President Mugabe’s time?

Only stupid idiots like you will say that the US of Africa is a Gaddaffi project. He is not in any way inventing the wheel. He is only taking the issue from where others before him left. Gaddaffi may himself not see its actual establishment but he has sown a seed that will germinate, will grow and one day it will bear fruits.

You should therefore not bother giving us any of your stupid advices on African issues because you have such a small mind you can't even see beyond your nose. You have such a myopic view of African issues that you want to destruct us from focusing on the real issues – Total Independence and 100% Empowerment. As before, you want Africa to remain your client continent where you get resources without paying for them.

You fear that if Africa unites you won't be able to dictate terms to us as you are currently doing whereby you can threaten individual countries into submission. You are today bullying countries like Botswana, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana and Tanzania because they are not capable of standing up on their own despite possessing vast natural resources. You have used the terrorist card to force some countries in Africa to submit to your whims.

As for anyone insinuating that you do not like African Unity because the continent is diverse, well, there is no insinuation there, you actually said it that Africa cannot unite because of its diversity in the type of government systems (democracy or lack thereof), level of development, leaders whom you say have overstayed (so-called dictators), and many other stupid things you mentioned.

The point being made is that you cannot tell us when to unite and how to unite because the unity is ours and not yours. Just back-off and leave us alone to chart our way forward without your uncalled for and unwarranted interferences.

Takunya,

The fact that I hold a different opinion from yours does not in any way make you more African than me. It does not make me a Western citizen either. For your information, I am African and have the right to air my opinion on African affairs and help the distiny of Africa; the same way you do. But am not going to buy into your idea of affording a few dictators like Mugabe the monopoly to rule and RUIN Africa. You rightly point out that there are many good brains in Africa. It is therefore a surprise that you believe; even up to this day, that the only person who is qualified to rule Zimbabwe is an 85 year old one Mugabe who has brought the once fledging country to total collapse in the last 30 years. You have to wake up and realise that some Africans will hold a different opion from yours and that does nat make them sellouts - infact sellouts are people lke you who opt to support dictators without even an attempt to assess their performance - anyway, may be to you a country with a worthless and abondoned currency is a good performancer...

This article has all hallmarks of the mind set that served to enslave and colonize our people and continent, it is this mind set that crippled the OAU for many decades it was the Mompati Merafhe's of this world who opposed the initial formation of the OAU and today we hear again the voice of their 'colonized minds' Lets make this point crystal clear, the AU is not about Gaddafi, just as the OAU was not about Nkrumah.... It is about Africa and we Africans and it is 'Our Time' Our task, the task of our generation, is clear, we are charged with the task of 'Liberating, Unifying and Transforming' of our 'Peoples and Continent' and no gainsayers will detract us from fulfilling this, our duty and call to destiny. What is it that so disturbs Mompati? Is it, that as a continent, we are now resolved to pool our Soverenity, our Human and Material Resources, or maybe, it is our commitment to speak with one voice on the global stage or perhaps he takes umbrage at our settled 'Will' to protect and defend our continent by fashioning a force charged with the protection and defense of Our Continent and People? Is Mompati opposed to We Africans determining and taking command of our destiny? Is he hostile to us providing the long over due 'Geo-Political', Economic and Social Coherence our people demand and deserve? Does he feel that after more than one hundred years of existence as a Scared, Balkanized and Shattered Continent we should wait for an other 100 years marking time in the geo-political limbo that is our current situation? Lest we forget, in our current configuration it is African nations which are by nearly every yardstick, the least economically developed, some of the highest infant mortality rates, lowest life expectancy, least industrialised, most corrupt, least transparent and most repressive states in the world and to suggest that we continue with more of the same verges on the insane. We need and must repair the damage inflicted by History's folly' The watch word for us Africans now is 'Change', not tomorrow but Now! We demand, profound change, change in our politics,change in our economics, change in our individual and collective mindset,'Today' and this is what the recent AU Summit has began to deliver and it is for this reason that we must salute the 'Sons and Daughters' who have made these momentous days possible. As Always Wadi 'The Zima'

Wadi 'The Zima,

Yo say Africa needs change now. I agree with you but I dont think the kind of change proposed by Gadaffi and his cronies is the kind of change we need. We need an Africa that consultes and debates and reaches well researched and factually supported resolutions - not orders. I am the king of kings of Africa...read this and sign...the decision has been made by the chair...Is that what you want? You talk of corruption. Yes that should stop. But it woont stop as long as Africa still worships dictators like Gaddaffi and Mugabe. Botswana is the least corrupt country in Africa, has multi party democracy, has one of the fastest growing economies in Africa, has limited presidential terms etc. Why cant Africa learn one or two things from them; especially on corruption if at all Africa is so much riddled with corruption. Its high time Africa works on its problems in a SYSTEMATIC AND ORDERLY WAY, and stop the blame game.

Moks..

What Botswana is doing now will have far reaching consequences in the long term for the country's relations with the continent..The unelected military junta that is being increasingly autocratic in Botswana has been foolishly breaking ranks with the entire continent inorder to win praise from the West but at the same time gay Khama and his henchmen have not been noticing that they are gradually getting isolated on the continent. No sane african leader condones the undeplomatic rants Botswana has been making against other african countries and continental bodies..Moks,have u ever asked yourself why Bots always appears to be the only nation breaking ranks with other african states after continental summits like AU and SADC .Well,everyone knows that Botswana is a client state of the United States gvt therefore that is why they disrespect and undermine Afican organisations' decisions becoz they're being made to do so..Surely there are diplomatic and polite ways Botswana regime can voice its reservations to decisions taken by a continental bodies like SADC and AU, rather than rant publicly..Let me tell u my dear that Botswana will pay a heavy price in the future for choosing to ally themselves with Western imperialist forces while trashing decisions of their own african brothers..The west has no permanent friends but has permanent interests..Botswana is loosing its credibilty in Africa becoz of what it's doing.It might earn praise in the West, but African leaders no longer take the Khama's junta seriously..If Botswana is now sick of being a member of african bodies they're routinely at odds with, why can't they just move out.It's a free world!!Moks,Instead of making noise about the arrest of Al BASHIR, Bots regime and its supporters like u need to vigorously call for the immidiate arrest of genocidal murderers Blair, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield,Wolfowitz,Rice,Powell, inorder for africa and the world at large to respect the International Criminal court and take u seriously...

Then what are you willing to do about African leaders who willfully kill their own people and other African people. Just let them get away with murder. What are your suggetions regarding the safety of women and children from rape, maming and murder? These are serious crimes that largely go unpunished. The idea is good but why can't grown so-called educated men come an agreement regarding the issues of food,safety,housing,medical for their own people. Otherwise I see this as a waste of time. The one natural resource that Africa has is it's people and the future of Africa starts with the children who will one day grow up to be the new leaders of Africa without the greed and other selfish motives

mabhiza a typical comment by you just start name calling to make yourself and the actual bad regimes of Africa look good which you have failed miserably. Gaddafi is a certified nut and well has already shown that earlier in his life and if he was such a great leader why is he no longer President??? Seems the people spoke and he is no longer in power and now the AU has elected him President well that alone speaks for Africa and the who they are. You choose a guy who could care less about improving the lives for the people in the continent of Africa he only cares for homself. I know why you like him it reminds you of Mugabe so of course you are going to support him... You dislike Botswana b/c they have stood up and spoken clearly on their feelings on Mugabe and his regime so that is your problem with them and it has nothing to do with this AU summit...

Anyone who is against Mugabe is a puppet for the West just please get a life and realize that the leadership of Botswana can clearly see when you have corrupt regimes in charge like Mugabe in Zimbabwe and the list could go on across Africa...

As far as genocidal crimes well stop with any American leaders that should be charged this comment makes you look very stupid b/c it was voted on by not only the west but other countries so they went in over what had been done to our country which was attacked first. Should we hold Afghanistan leadership accountable for Osama Bin Ladin's actions when there were 3000 innocent people killed in America? You need just to worry about stating things you need fact not opinions and we all know where your buddies are... All of them are power hungry corrupt leaders who will do anything to keep power..

I wonder where will you be when Mugabe no longer has control of Zimbabwe???

Americ35.

I see you've come back to defend your American regime's double standards.People like you have shame at all..You rant about democracy and the need to respect the will of the people while at the same time you despise africans for appointing Gaddaffi as leader of the African union..Americ35 you fail to respect the democratic election victories of some leaders around the world because they're not your 'prefered candidates'ie american stooges..You have no conscience at all..For your own information,zimbabweans are not the only ones who detest Botswana's military junta, but the entire African continent now resents Khama and his regime..Botswana is fast losing its credibility among africans who rightly view it as an American client state.That country may win praise from the likes of you americ35 and your western imperialist regimes but at the same time it's creating many enemies across the continent..This is the reason why khama's junta is always a lone voice against african decisions at summits.No sane african leader would support that junta's irrationality.The fact that Botswana begged Britain to colonise it when others were waging first chimurenga against the British says it all, this slavish behaviour is what Botswana has been used to..

Americ 35, Iraq never attacked United States at any time in history.There was no single iraqi in the suicide planes that hit the twin towers and pentagon in sept 2001..Saddam never haboured al quaeda in iraq. Infact him and bin laden were sworn enermies..Iraq never possessed any nuclear weapons in its history.It's clear that your former leader Bush ,his partner in crime Blair,& their henchmen LIED deliberately by twisting the above facts then invading Iraq without UN approval then they started a horrendous genocidal campaign..As africans, we're extremely angered that ICC has never made any effort to indict them..This is why african leaders will not cooperate with a kangaroo court that lost its credibility..Americ35 you have to accept that we will create United States of Africa whether you like it or not and your lapdog regimes like Botswana's will not stop the train[led by Gaddaffi] from moving..

mabhiza and takunya well you seem all alone here and so that alone proves how worthless your words are because everyone knows the truth. Talk about twisting of words look at Mugabe and some of your own African leaders of course culturally you cannot lose face and cause shame to come upon yourself so you always point fingers at the rest of the world and disregard the faults you have.

You hate anything connected to the West or thinks like them so go ahead with your name calling and you and your few comrades will soon cease to exist....No one has to kill you and will kill yourself so no help needed from someone else..

Moks;

As Wadi 'The Zima’ correctly put it AU is not Gaddafi or about Gaddafi just as the OAU was not about Nkrumah or Mzee Nyerere. The AU and all the structures being put in place including the envisaged United States of Africa (USA) are not about Libya neither are they about Gaddafi or any other country or leader for that matter.

Leaders and governments come and go but the State of Africa, the territory called Africa will always be there and it is this land mass that these leaders are planning for just as Nkurumah planned for and advocated for the freedom that we are enjoying today. Most countries were still under colonial subjugation when Nkurumah and Nyerere started talking about the OAU. Today the whole of Africa is politically free as a direct result of the efforts by people like Nkurumah and Nyerere.

It is so clear from this article that the Botswana delegation to the AU Summit showed gross incompetency, thus, it failed to negotiate and put its views across. Summits like the one attended by the Vice President and Foreign Minister are preceded by meetings of officials who should do the dirty work - debating, agreeing and disagreeing - and whatever they come up with is then presented to the Heads of State. Heads of State are not responsible for and expected to draft the document to be presented to the Summit.

Heads of State are expected to raise issues where they do not understand or on areas they do not agree with but to expect the summit to start debating a summit document item by item, is just idiotic. More so, and worse still, to keep quite and then open your dirty mouth when you are back on your home soil is stupid and silly. It only shows that you are a bunch of incompetent and retarded fools who only want to appease a certain constituency.

The person who should take the most blame is Skelemani who did not do his home work well. He failed in his duty to present Botswana's views on the many issues that they are now raising in the media - which views would have been incorporated in the final document had they been aired.

Skelemani should have, therefore, raised these issues during Ministerial Committee Meetings or even at a much lower level, thus he should take full responsibility for the failure to represent Botswana and its views.

However, it should be known that this is not new to Africa as it has happened before. Sellouts like Botswana were there even during the time of Kwame Nkrumah when the OAU was mooted. Look closely at such people and you will see that they are being used by imperialists who want to continue dominating African affairs, and who are opposed to seeing Africa charting its own destiny as a united continent without interference from former colonizers.

How else can you understand a person who advocates for the bombing of his own blood brother because of cholera? How else can one explain why one would call for the blockade of a brother's borders in order to starve and kill him? That is typical of Ian Khama and the unelected junta that he leads in Botswana. They are anti-Africa, they are anti-progress and they are anti-development.

We now want development that is Africa centered and that is specific for Africans but Botswana is opposed to that preferring to remain stooges of the west who should always be told how to contact their affairs by former colonizers.

Thanx Cde Takunya, you have hit the nail on the head, well done..You know, sellout countries like Botswana continue to bring false hope to the Western imperialist regimes that one day their evil will prevail over pan africanism..The unelected junta realised that it was isolated in Sirte, Libya therefore it never got the courage to publicly & vigorously oppose the draft at the ministerial level up to the highest level until it was adopted.They realised that no sane african leader would support their irrational opposition to the summit's decisions.Takunya, You rightly put it that the envisaged United States of Africa is not about Gaddafi but for the future of the entire continent that needs to chart a common destiny,serve a common purpose, being in total control of its natural resources and preserving its independence..Leaders who spearhead the establishment of the continental bodies come and go but their pan africanist legacy lives on..Sellouts and western stooges like those in Botswana's military junta have always been there in africa even during creation of the OAU,AU and SADC but that has never hindered their establishment..A united africa is the last thing the Western regimes would want to see becoz they want to continue plundering our resources and creating their lapdog regimes in africa subservant to their neo colonial interests..We continue to warn Botswana's idiotic junta that the country will pay a heavy price in the future interms of its relations with the continent..

Takunya is reckless in his thoughts, as always. He praises criminals and tyrants like Mugabe and Gaddafi.

Gaddafi is a crook. He twists things and unilateraaly changes wordings of documents as does Mugabe. these two are strange bedfellows who are not advancing the cause of Africa.

Gaddafi is a dictator. His government is shrouded with secretive approach in administration and he uses his army to silence everybody home. Mugabe must have sought inspiration from the madman Gaddafi, but without the black gold reserves under the Zim soil Mugabe's government is penniless. A penniless Gaddafi would have been kicked out of power a long time ago.

What are Zimbos doing with the mirror image of Gaddafi, this criminal Mugabe?

YOU ARE NUTS. THE REASON WHY AFRICA IS MESSED UP IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO DO NOTHING BUT HATE.

Should anyone expect better comment than this from warped mind? People like this will be consumed by his idiocy. One can understand the frustration dished out by people like him when it comes to moving African forward. The resources that will be dedicated to this course is right there in Africa but because they want to steal it, they will be complaining about is lack.

What a continent? What a backward thinking leaders?

There is a country that refused to join EU because of its territorial waters. Today, All the fishes in African waters have disappeared since there is no regulation curtailing the greediness of the West. Africans should get their acts together and drive away all their myopic leaders.

Zambia is correct in implying that an anti-African beast like bashir should be caged.

However, Zambia is INCORRECT to take a position that would assist the evil Europeans in their relentless efforts at world domination and world plunder.

The European-designed ICC HAS NO legitimacy for Africans and for other virtuous people on the planet. No African should support ; for to do so is to support european deception. From their history it is clear that Europeans haven't the level of human virtue to set up any legitimate court for law, order and justice.

Europeans know only to set up organization to further their evil efforts at racist world domination. The ICC (european criminal court) is one such european tool. It has nothing to do with law and justice. NOTHING!

Africans should deal decisively and quickly with the beast, bashir; and deal with him in African. To hell with the Europeans.

If Zambian leadership are really for the well being of Africans, then european efforts ARE NEVER for the well being of Africans!

Botswana has a point. 30 African countries are signataries to the ICC. What does that mean? Why did they sign on the first place if they are not prepared to abide to its rulings. It is very clear. If Bashir is innocent, then he should just go and CLEAR his name. Simple. Why cant he go? Was he forced by the Europeans to kill his own people? Why blame the europeans when the ICC tries to protect Darfur sudeneese from the Bashir's rithfulness?

On the United States of Africa, I applaud Botswana for insisting on the need for proper consultations. Why rush documents and indeed bring wrong documents to the table? Why is Gaddaffi pushing it so hard? Why cant he democratize his country first? There is no multi party democracy in Lybya and the guy wants to apply that to the rest of Africa. In Feb he said his model of governance is the best for Africa. I say NO. Africa needs democracatic institutions that are independent of any single individual. I wouldnt be surprised if Gadaffi hiself proposes he become the first African presidnt.

Amoke, ICC membership is voluntary. That means countries that previously signed, upon renewal, can simply withdraw their support.

The problem is that ICC has tried to became the law in of itself for Africa. They side stepped the AU about Bashir and humanitarian issues about Sudan. AU was always concerned that Sudan would became worse than what it is today and the human crisis would also deteriorate. The ICC ignored the AU and moved forward.

They have become colonial law based on force not due process. ICC may not be relevent to modern Africa. If ICC was real serious about it's mission, George Bush and Tony Blair should be on their list. But alas, these first world war lords are being protected. The fact is they are responsible for the death of over a million Iraqs over a "cooked" up story. Bush world be arrested in Germany etc but he is not on the ICC list! That to me says it all about the ICC!

Moks.

Botswana has no point at all..30+- African countries maybe signataries to the ICC but african nations and the international community at large will not respect ICC as long as there is no indictment of genocidal criminals like Blair, Bush, Cheney,Rumsfield, Powell,Wolfowitz etc..These people lied deliberately to the world including you Moks that Iraq had nuclear weapons and was training Al Quaeda..They invaded it without UN approval then they started torchering, raping and killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis., but today the architects of these horrendous crimes live as free men..As long as the ICC continues its selective policy in indictment ,it deserves no co-operation at all from africans and the developing world at large..This is supposed to be a credible international court not a kangaroo court to indict selected leaders from developing countries and eastern europe..For it to regain its lost credibility, the ICC needs to act accordingly.Africans should seriously consider totally moving out of the ICC becoz its proving to be a western imperialist creation to serve western interests..We need to set up our own african court that is free from western interference.Moks, i challenge you and your Botswana junta to start calling for the indictment of Blair,Bush, Cheney,Wolfowitz,Powell and their henchmen inorder for us to take you seriously.

Mabhiza,

Do the wrongs that Blair and Bush did in Iraq make the worngs that Bahir did in Darfur into a magnificent picce of rightiousness?? I dont think so. You guys argue that Bashir should not go to the ICC. Where in Africa do you want to take him so that he can answer for his atrocities? You just tell me.

Moks;

The abbreviation ICC is written thus; International Criminal Court. Note the word ‘International’; it is not a Continental Criminal Court or an African Criminal Court - but an International Criminal Court.

The ICC is incidentally or conveniently situated or based in the heartland of the white world and so should not only start from the home soil but should be seen to be fair to blacks by prosecuting whites, first, for crimes committed since the time of colonialism and slavery.

Most importantly it should truly reflect its 'International' outlook in that it should treat all "criminals" the same. Why should there be selective justice anyway? There are people who committed genocide during slavery, colonialism and others who exterminated a whole population in pursuit of 'Big Brother' status (Awt and his forefathers exterminated the Maori people of New Zealand) and yet others who slaughtered innocent and defenseless civilians on the basis of false and fabricated charges of possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) or fighting imagined Communism.

America has been to Vietnam, Burma, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, you name it. America is the only country in this world and on this earth that has dropped a nuclear or an Atomic bomb on defenseless civilians; it has used Agent Orange and Dioxin on unarmed innocent civilians and has recently used the banned 'White Phosphorous' also on defenseless civilians.

The soldiers who committed these heinous crimes and those who gave orders are there. Why should their skin color or the country they come from be a factor in determining whether to take them to the ICC or not. To date no one has been arrested or charged in Western Europe and/or America but more than 100 Africans have been indicted to the so-called 'International' Criminal Court. Why continue calling it “International” when it is only meant for Africans – just change the name to African Criminal Court (ACC)?

Charles Taylor, Bashir or any other African leader being sought or detained at The Hague, for that matter, may have committed crimes against civilians - no body knows for sure and so no one is acknowledging or denying it, that is why they are on trial - but are we to believe the implied stupid notion that Bush’s and Blair's are lesser crimes than those “committed” by Taylor and Bashir? I think not - a crime is a crime and should be punished accordingly.

Closer to home, black South Africans were killed like flies by Apartheid leaders in that country. The likes of; De Klerk, Pik Botha, Magnus Malan to name just three committed untold atrocities in SA and Angola which have conveniently been swept under the carpet. Men, women and children were slaughtered without any regard to human rights - Shipharville Massacre immediately comes to mind – but nobody is talking about them going to the ICC, WHY?

We in Zimbabwe suffered irreparable damage during colonialism. Millions of black Zimbabweans were killed through indiscriminate bombing of defenseless civilians and refugees (using napalm bombs) by the likes of Ian Smith, Peter Walls, Abel Tendekai Muzorewa, Zungairwa, David Coltart, Roy Bennette, Mike Campbell, and Ben Freeth to name just these few. No body, especially Luis Moreno-Ocampo, is calling for the indictment, WHY?

Many, if not all, of these people can be brought before the courts, especially the ICC to answer to the crimes they have committed. However, what we see today is a selective application of justice whereby only blacks are being prosecuted and the cut-off date (of the so-called Rome Statutes that govern the operation of the ICC) is conveniently timed to exclude crimes committed during colonialism and slavery.

This is the crux of the matter, Moks, and has nothing to do with protecting Bashir or any other person for that matter. It has everything to do with fairness and following the rule of law. The big question is; are blacks the only people who have and are capable of committing crimes as are being read-out from the ICC charge sheet? If Nazis are still being sought today, more than sixty years after the Second European War ended, why not Rhodesia and Apartheid leaders who massacred only 30 years and 15 years ago respectively?

Why should there be selective justice based on one's skin color? Why is it that those Africans who are opposed to Anglo-Saxons' continued plunder of our resources are the only ones being sent to the ICC? As long as these concerns and questions are not adequately answered by the ICC prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Africa will not cooperate with him and/or his racist court.

I hear that he is going to or is already in DRCongo to meet the affected povo - that's politics and not justice. He is just trying to gain political mileage and not serving the course of justice by so doing.

He appears to now be confused after the resistance he is getting; because, now, all Africans are seriously opposed to his racist moves. He should realize that quoting the support of so-called victims will not remove the racist lining in his manner of prosecuting.

It is up to the ICC, especially Luis Moreno-Ocampo, to present himself and the court as impartial otherwise we will continue to view him and the ICC as racist tools being used by imperialists to fix, punish, prosecute and persecute blacks who have refused to tow the line - the imperialist line, who have refused to sell their dignity, heritage and sovereignty and who are advocating for Total Independence and 100% Empowerment.

African should really be ashamed. In South African where whites are a minority of 2-3 million and blacks 3x that. To allow that as a majority is stupid and ignorant. Giving Botswana a bad rap will not do.

Do not model yourself after Bush/Blair. Something still needs to be done about Bashir and the rest of the murders of African people. The situation if Africa is delicate but you must come to terms that the criminal leaders in certain African countries should be held accountabale for there actions.

The Gate Keeper

Moks and Gatekeeper.

If u read my previous comment carefully, i said that as a solution to this, africans need to establish an independent african court that is free from western interference..We have to wait for the african court to be set up by our leaders and there is a need for patience there..Don't tell me that u're impatient for this becoz you've already proven that you're not at all angered by the ICC's continued failure to indict genocidal murderers Bush, Blair, Cheney,Rice,Wolfowitz Rumsfeild,Powell etc..If u can be patient for these murderers to be indicted, then it means u also have to be patient for us to set up our own court..Africans are categoricall in this issue..As long as the discredited ICC is reluctant to indict western criminals and as long as the ICC continues its selective policy in indictments, africans will not cooperate with this stupid kangaroo court..Justice has to be universal, not selective.Originally, the ICC was meant to be an international court to indict people who commit crimes in every part of the globe, but it's now clear that it's a western imperialist creation to indict people from the developing world and eastern europe only while it leaves western criminals untouched..Africans are saying to hell with this nonsense!!ICC deserves no respect from our leaders, it lost its credibility..For us to start respecting it, it needs to start indicting western war criminals i mentioned earlier.Otherwise,as africans , we will wait for as long as it takes to establish our own credible court to indict and try africans..A pan africanist justice court that's free from western interference and imperialism that damaged the credibility of the ICC..

I agree with you regarding "The Beast Bashir" should be dealt with by Africans but what is taking the leaders so long to come to a rational decision he must be dealt with and soon, what about Kony. These murders are still killing the natural resources of Africa the children and the women, the elders, young men, old men even the animals! The greed amoung the leaders of Africa is just like the European colonizers. Where is the hope for the ordinary african? So once Africans clean there houses out only then can a positive move be made for the futute.

I .BEWARE OF THE TOWER BUILDERS

A. THE TOWER BUILDERS ??? 1. Look at the story of Nimrod and his one world crew in Genesis 11: 1-8. • Nimord was a builder of cities and a mighty hunter . He was • • well-known for his feats and apparently could attract a lot of • • people to him. He must have been extremely- charismatic. • • • Nimrod and the people acted completely as one body. • • There goal was to reach Heaven via building a tower; sort of • • like the space programs ( known & secret ). • • • God delayed their goals by mixing up their language so they • • could not understand each other. • • • Daniel 8:10 mentions what I believe to be a reference to the • • Nimrod of the last days (led by D-Evil) .This verse may also • • be referring to the space program as one of the Towers of • • Babel being used to attack the Kingdom of Heaven . 2. Beware o 3. 4. f any attempts by man to unite the world as one ; for the good of all. 5. 6. Here are two examples that come to mind : • • • Simulcasting of the song “We Are The World “ . I believe • • the actual tragedy of starving Ethiopians , coupled with our • • common love of music was used to get the world to thinking • • that we can save ourselves. • • • This was followed by mini-movements like “Hands-Across • • America “ and other movements ; which I believe were • • trying to get us to thinking like those people were thinking • • when Nimrod proposed that they build a Tower to Heaven. 3.

- Life Is a Game. Have Fun. [ Luke 18:17 / Isaiah 11:6 ]

With no doubt thats a good move by our goverment,we do not condone what President Gad and his allies are trying to put through to already toothless body, but our own VP should not fogget that we are watching, if they(Botswana Legislators) can pass media bill,liquor and many otheir Acts into place atleast without proper debate as some legislator claim why cnt AU do the same,where is the principle in our leaders.

any criticisms against the Merafhe's point is simply guided by the blindness we africans have when it comes to democracy and the rule of law. the ICC should be given full support in the arrest of Bashir. without mincing words, this fellow is the hitler of our times! bashir has orchestrated and is coordinating a genocide in darfur and the world does not know this simply because the terrain itself is such a difficult one to locate and give any assistance to the innocent ones. only the government sponsored janjaweed are masters of this area and thats why the level of damage caused both to human lives and property keeps increasing daily.

The time for regional integration is now. And the long awaited United States of Africa (USA) is long overdue. However, the issue needs to be treated with caution. One, Africa is composed of countries which may make very strange bed fellows. Africa is diametrically polarisable on economic, political, religious and cultural fronts. And the beauty is that not in many directions, but in two formidable directions which will tear us into two continents. Tectonic plates are not ready to move just yet so we should remain us one. On the other hand, it is important to build bridges ie collaborations which will foster sustainable development in the continent. While Africa has all the resources the world needs for sustenance and houses all the most precious ones except oil, it is still languishing in material deprivation among continents swimming in vast oceans of material prosperity. And this is not because Africa is poor. It is because of deep-rooted systemic and institutional handicaps which cannot be solved by just creating more and more moribund institutions. I share the position of Botswana that while integration is inevitable, it needs to be delicately planned so that dysfunctional instituions are avoided. And if our memories are still clear, the OAU died due to simple systemic issues which could be avoided had the thinkers behind it thought harder. To Mr. Gaddafi, I share your vision totally. But a poorly executed Vision is worse than no vision at all. To the pessimists: Gaddafi might not be looking at being the first president because he might not see it. He might be looking at a force to counter the growing domination of the US and that force, the Black Starliner, will only spring from Africa.

Africa would be united within the twinkle of an eye had it had just ten African patriots like colonel Muammar Gadaffi on the continent. As someone rightly pointed out, teh AU is not colonel Gadaffi nor Libya nor any single African country, but the whole of Africa. Gadaffi has the right vision for Africa. He sees Africa unity starting from somewhere, though the genuine start may not be as perfect as Botswana would want, but it's worth starting from there rather than staying behind to criticise.Colonel Gadaffi, we're totally behind you. You're a great patriot.

Mabhiza

You make good points. The European-created ICC has no credibility or legitimacy when butchers like bush, blair, brown, etc, etc aren't prosecuted by ICC for being even more devilish and destructive of INNOCENT Iraqis, than the beastly arab, bashir, is of Africans.

Rockyblack74

Go get the devil, bashir, and put him out of business. But you MUST do so WITHOUT submitting to evil European domination and plunder of Africans, which is what their ICC is all about!

Europeans from their historical behavior are virtueless. Therefore Europeans cannot create a credible court system. And only the children among us would support the divisive 'democracy' coming from criminal and racist invaders.

Somethimes I get perplexed at some people's line of thought. I gues they do with my line of thought. Bahsir's case is an African problem that should be dealt with the African way by Africans for Africans...True, I agree, but the question is, why is it taking so long? In the meantime more people are dying. The same happens in Zimbabwe. Why then should African poverty be the responsibility of China and the West? Why should Mugabe even go the extent of praising China for giving UNCONDITIONAL AID to Zimbabwe and castigate the west for not giving aid under same conditions? Thats double stnadards anf hypocrasy. I think Africa should desist from labeling desenting views as western puppets. Its wrong. Let Africa be free to speak. Well, some may argue that Gaddaffi is not self interested in the whole Unuted States of Africa saga. The question is; what model does he envisage for USA-Africa? No elections??? Dictatorship?? Why cant he embark on some reforms in Lybia b4 going out to preach USA-Africa? Why not do it through clear procedures and without haste?

Moks, I have heard the argument about east versus west etc. This issue about ICC has nothing to do with that. It has to do with double standards, which unfortunately europeans and Americans are very good at doing. Yes, I agree that it should not be west or east. But why has the ICC not arrested Goerge Bush or Tony Blair for blantant lies published the whole wide world about Iraq. It seems you Mok, are trying to be very selective about who ICC should pursue. That is not justice!

Moks.

This is about africans vs the ICC.You said it yourself that AL Bashir's case is an african problem that should be handled in an african manner..This is what we are saying that as africans, we have to solve it ourselves and we will not co-operate with the discredited ICC becoz it's a western creation with double standards..It doesn't make any sense to respect a court that lost its credibility.We will soon set up our own African court..Moks , why is it that you want an immidiate arrest of Al Bashir while at the same time you have no problem with the continued failure of ICC to indict and arrest western war criminals Blair/Bush/Cheney/Rumsfield??,You have your own double standards to deal with. These people are no longer in power so it should be easy to indict and arrest them.Once it is done, we will respect ICC..Moks, if your country has good relations with America and the west, it doesn't mean that you have to blindly accept their double standards and hypocrisy as well..You should also be outraged by the US genocidal campaign in Iraq the same way as you're outraged by the bloody Darfur conflict!!

Clearly Africa now does not need leaders like Merafne.This is a very crucial time for the continent.Where is the leadership and courage of this man?Is Botswana really independent?This is the same kind of "sissy"whinnings we heard from the Monrovia group who opposed the Casablanca group.If Gaddafi is acting unilateral,its because he does not see any courageous leadership coming from other African leaders.How long shall we wait for this gradual approach to unification? Remember even if we created an african state today we will still need at least fifty years to catch up the advanced nations.Are we really prepared to wait another minute than to try and catch up with the other nations?Africa should make no mistake about this-while we are busy arguing about when to unite,other already united territories of the world are forging ahead at full speed further leaving us behind.We needed an African gov't yesterday and we need a stong leader to unite us for our benefit.Abraham Lincoln fought a war to unite the US,Bismark forced the german tribes together,Napoleon did the French etc etc.We need a united continental government and if Gaddafi is the spearhead,so be it.And for thos who say Gaddafi is an Arab,ruthless,undemocratic etc,they said the same thing of Nkrumah whom we all now worship. AFRICANS WAKE UP!!!!

Thank you Botswana for your boldness and for raising a standard of righteousness despite intense pressure to conform with iniquitous decisions. You have done us proud and served the cause of justice on the continent. May you long continue to be a beacon and voice for voiceless masses who suffer repression - we need you and are very grateful. May God continually bless Botswana. You have restored my faith in African leadership.

This debate aptly illustrates the political and ideological fault lines of contemporary Africa and we Africans. At issue here is the Philosophical and intellectual tension between the still 'Colonised Mind' (Moks,Prem,Gatekeeper et al) and those of us who have broken the mental, psychological and intellectual chains which have enslaved so many of our kind(Takunya,Mabhiza,Danlumo,Omugabe et al) The outcome of this debate, which is being replicated across our continent and amongst our people is of profound importance and will define and determine the destiny of our continent and people. It is no exaggeration to say that we Africans are living through a momentous period in our HISTORY, and as such, Humanities History. It is in this context that I wish to deal with the salient points raised in our discourse . Before I address these issues let me declare my position...I am a 'Pan-Africanist' dedicated and committed to the 'Liberation,Unification and Transformation' of OUR Continent (Cape to Cairo, Lagos to Mombassa and the surrounding Islands). I am moved by our quest to create and fashion the first truly 'Humane, Human Centered and Human Sensitive' Nation that this world has played host to, a genuine Home for our kind....That said it should come as no surprise when I say that I stand full square with the Takunya's, Mabhiza's, Omugade's, Danlumo,s of this world. Allow me to unpack the implications of a unified Africa, its impact and why we face such concerted opposition from the powers that be...Firstly a unified Africa represents the emergence of a formidable Global Power the Geo-Political reality is that a unified Africa, (12 million Sq miles, of prime 'Real Estate') would effectively control the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, the main trade routes of the cape and Suez, add to this the fact that we play host to a vast proportion of the worlds Strategic raw materials (90% of the worlds cobalt', Uranium etc ), Iron Ore, Gold etc, the greatest source of 'Solar Energy' and nearly 1 Billion Human Beings!!! Such a development cannot fail to redefine and reconfigure the Geo-political and global power structure and relationships. If the election of Obama is considered a momentous occasion, the unification of Africa will not only be of seismic significance globally but will be of an altogether different order of magnitude in its impact on the global reality The current powers that be, are acutely aware of the implications of such a development and will do everything in their power to prevent our emergence, they will endevour to foist and/or sustain corrupt and weak leaders on us, they will attempt to sow discord amongst our people, seek to keep us in a econo-politically subservient position. In a word, keep us fractured, Balkanized,and dependent, the play ground for the globes nightmare!!! What we 'Pan-Africanists say is 'enough is enough' it is time for us to take control and command of our destiny and the destiny of our Continent, it is time we built a home of our design for our kind. Which brings me to the specifics, Moks and his cohorts curious notion that somehow Gaddafi was able to impose his will on the 50+ leaders is too ridiculous for words, the idea that gaddfi could impose his will on Zuma,Adua,Mills Museveni etc is too absurd a notion to be taken seriously. On the matter of Governance we are all agreed that we must have a governments which genuinely embody the 'Will' of the people, where we differ is the underlying assumption that the only model available is liberal representative democracy there are other alternatives including Participatory Democracy, Isocracy, Pantisocracy etc We Africans will chose that which suits us. Turning now to the vexed issue of the ICC, Moks and his fellow travelers seem to be implying that we Africans have a penchant for maintaining blood thirsty brutes. Nothing could be further from the truth we have given up more of these monsters to the ICC than any other continent and the failure of the ICC to pursue other monstres and War Criminals with the diligence and impartiality required has led us to the view that the ICC cannot deliver 'Justice' And if 'Justice and Order is what we seek then we must look to ourselves and to the new continental institutions we are building.

Wadi 'The Zima',

You accuse us of still being colonised. The question is; Is a mind that want to avert a catastrphe that you and Gadaffi advocate for sounds colonised to you. Africa is so diverse. e.g. Polically, there is no convergence. How do you reconcile Gadaffi is governance phylosophy of NO ELECTIONS to that of South Africa and Ghana where elections are the norm now. What about that of Bots and Zim where the former is for presidential terms whereas the latter is for life presidency? Constitutionally - Botswana allows death penalty and RSA does not...just as an example. Economically, each of the 53 countries have a different tarriff structure, exchange rate and inflation differentials are huge...the case is a good example. Rule of law. Some African countries dont give a shit if the president kills and you also dont give a shit, that is why you support Bashir's killings and argue that he should never arrested. To me you guys want another wave of colonilisation, this time not by the West but by Gadafi and some Asian countries like China and Iran. Tell me why on earth did Gadaffi invite the Iranian president to the AU conference when people were being killed by the government machinery in Iran. Your preoccupation with the west simply shows that your mind has never been decolonised. Move on with life and stop blaming the west for everything bad in Africa, even the deeds of Mugabe

Moks;

To say that Africa cannot unite because of its diversity is showing gross stupidity and foolishness. Where on this earth will you find people agreeing on everything? Even in the smallest social unit - the family - there is diversity. I personally believe that diversity is health for democracy.

There are diverse opinions in the European Union but that has not prevented them from uniting for the interests of Europeans. The level of economic development of Spain and German, Portugal and Britain, France and Greece are not the same but that has not prevented them from being a united people sharing and protecting the same interests - and in this case the interest of subjugating and exploiting Africa.

When Africans want to unite, everybody, including stupid idiotic morons like Moks go up in arms telling us that we are too diverse to unite - what foolishness? Who do they think they are anyway? Why should they give themselves the right to tell us what to do and how to conduct our affairs? They should just shut their dirty and smelly mouths up and leave us to chart our own way forward without their uninvited interference.

Britain is still to adopt the Euro as its currency but that is not preventing the Europeans from seeing and speaking with one voice on matters that affect their citizens. The whole of Europe imposed illegal, racist, barbaric and ruinous sanctions against the Zimbabwe people precisely because they are united in their diversity although many were just dragged into the bilateral dispute against their wish. France withdrew from the NATO Command some years ago but that has not prevented it from cooperating with those in the Command.

So why should a difference in the system of governance hinder unity ONLY in Africa? Britain has no written constitution and the Prime Minister has no term limits - Is that supposed to be an issue when it comes to uniting Europe? Are ALL Europeans not taunting UK, to us, as one of the best and oldest democracies in the world?

Why, therefore, should the system in Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mozambique etc prevent us from seeing that the sun rises from the East and sets in the West? Are we so daft as not to see that these people are happy to see us divided so that they can continue exploiting us, setting us one against the other and preventing us from seeing the bigger picture - which picture will enable us to be a force to reckon with the world over?

We united yesterday, from Cape to Cairo, and liberated Africa through African institutions like the OAU, especially its Liberation Committee. Why should we fail to unite today when we need unity the most? There is need to unite and liberate ourselves from the imperialist control of our resources and that should be reason enough to unite us more than anything else and more than it should divide us.

As Africans we should remember and recognize that the unity of Africa is a threat to some people's interests and so they will come up with all sorts of stupid reasons to make sure Africa remains divided along the lines mentioned by Moks and meanwhile they are siphoning African wealth to develop their imperialists’ countries.
