Kigali — Ministers of Energy from different African Union (AU) member countries have agreed to establish a continental oil fund that will boost the performance of the sector in Africa.
In a meeting they held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia recently, the officials responsible for hydrocarbons, also crafted key documents to help develop the energy sector.
Yussuf Uwamahoro, the Coordinator of the Energy Sector in the ministry, yesterday said that once established, the fund will play an instrumental role in controlling price fluctuation of oil products that has rocked the continent.
Rwanda's Ambassador to Ethiopia and the AU Permanent Representative, Prof. Joseph Nsengimana and Doris Mwirigi, a Ministry of Infrastructure (MINFRA) official, represented the country at the three-day event.
The fund, to be managed by the African Development Bank (AfDB), will serve as a solidarity fund for all African member states both - oil producers and non producers.
"We are set to benefit because price fluctuations will be stabilized by the fund. Once the prices are stable in all countries, this benefits us as well," Uwamahoro said.
The African Petroleum Fund will also enable resources mobilized from member states and donors provide assistance to low income oil importing countries affected by increases in petroleum prices.
The conference also mandated the African Union Commission to carry out all the necessary measures to sensitize the AU member states on the importance of the fund, as well as implementing a resource mobilization strategy that will enable the fund become operational.

What can you do to help us ?
Start with contacting Pan-Afrikanist organizations like BLACK
STAR MEDIA (Modelled after Marcus Garveys Vision For Afrika) : They are at
[ www.libradio.net ]. The CEO of BLACK STAR MEDIA is Keidi-Obi
Awadu. He has been on the frontline fighting for our freedom for

It's Not A Question Of Other Learned Societies.
It's The INFERIORITY COMPLEX WE HAVE TO SHED
St. Paul In A Letter To The Christians In Rome Said :
" For I say, through the grace given to me, to every man that is
among you, NOT TO THINK OF HIMSELF MORE HIGHLY Than
He Ought To Think; but to think soberly, according AS GOD HAS
D EALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH .
We All Should Think Highly Of Ourselves, Keeping In Our Mind
That God Gave Us Dominion Over The Earth
, NOT EACH OTHER. !!!!!!!!
So let's please help us to return to our Mama Afrika as Israel
under Moses escaped their exile !!!!!!!
MAMA AFRIKA YOUR CHILDREN WANT TO COME HOME !!!!!!!
