" As for myself, I have'nt this great stream of optimism that we are seeing from the Frnacofone countries. Firstly France has obtained thier first wish and desire what they have been pushing for since day 1". I ,like the Egyptian President knows for a fact that this so called war on terror will never be won on the battle field". Under no circumsatnces do I want my brothjers and sisters to be led down this garden path!!. There is no such a thing as a quick rescue!!. Let us look at where the French stands in all this they have essentially taken over responsibilities in Cote d'Ivoire they are the army and secuirty in this former free nation. Cote d'Ivoire does not have an army nor are they a sovereign nation". Where does the French get off speaking of protecting their citizens ??? should this be the case thier citizens should return to France and keep themselves from harms way. What we are hearing from Hollande is that he is there to protect 6,000 french lives and their businesses???? !!!! Who is he what does this mean??? African lives seems to at all times means less than European lives " We continue to hear this narrative steady fed diet of terror being on the door step of Euorpe???? This is a blatant lie!!!!!!!!!!!! Let us step back in time, we saw where in Libya they made attachments to al-qaeda arming them dropping tonnes of weapons in the Sahara they have become allies to them in Iraq and Syria!!!! are we clear??? these are thier allies in Syria Iraq, so the idea that some how they are their foresin Europe is nonsense. The French and the US have kept thier dictator freinds in government effectively blocking or putting on hold the AFRICAN REVOLUTION when I speak of AFRICA everyone is aware that I include the borders priro to the 20th century when the mid east was established by the west.The USA was the founder along with the UK of the authoritarian nations along with Israel. What we have is the desire by the west to mainatin the staus quo along with regaining footing in thier lost colonies. As we knowq Francew has not truly let thier colonies enjoy soeverignty or independence, they ahve beeen on a contious path of interfernce forcing nations to have French troops on thier lands keeping these Francofone states under educated under developed lack of technology and essentailly a vassel of the French state. The most amazing of all is this large tax that Francofone statyes pays to Frnace as a revenue that is not coalesced with the revenues of France at whole??? Very questionable yet we see African states lacking in many basics when they could use these monies to improve thier peoples lives. As we know Gbagbo was adamantly oppossed to this tax' hence his overthrow by Warcozy!!. quattarra is much more compliant he does not even have an army he is being defended by the French why we see how fast they got to Mali. Should we have3 been paying attention it was the French whove been pursuing this colonial zeal in Africa using Ivory Coast as its speaker. The Ivorians spearheading this war has been relelntless in pursuing the ideals of the new French president. Ehy it is necesarry to have a African think tank that works from the AU head quarters in Ethiopia?? What we are seeing is Hollande's war; yes, this new elected president has wasted no time in placing his name in the history books. This is a leagcy inherrited by all western leaders where they spin and conduct ocnflitcs to leave hier names in history eternally what we will do as Africans is write them out of our history or make it knwon that thier antics wer less than noble but to the contarary. We have Africans whom are still brainwashed and still want to belive thier former enslavers rapers murderers torturerskidnappers child molesters who lived this life with impunity!!!! they who enriched themselves at the indignation of the African has somehow become miracul;ously reinvented themselves and are now a differnt people??? with time thier fopre fathers taught them to be more subtle use staelth more and use indtitutions to brace and proppell themslves even further into history havine the same perks with new methods!!!!!!!!. Again do you think that if you can obtain wealth by doing nothing for it getting everything free that you are going to dismiss this as silly???? Absoloutely not , you will do everything under your powers to retain reinforce and keep this lifestyle alive!!. We need to be very carefull when we decide what is best for Africa; africans need dialogue as we saw in C.A.R. even D.R.C.. The west wanted to create a distabled central africa bringing in other nations with lies rumours snactions and all the rotten things they do. What we got instead is PEACE".. Can you see this ?. What has now happened is they now see that dialogue is being used efffectively in Africa which is contarry to thier agenda. What we are witnessing is this all out war by France opening up the avenue to manipulate the entire west African arena.As you know there is vast sums of natural resources in west Africa gas oil and so on thier interfernce will again slow down th atttaining of needed knowledge by west Africans to enure thier ownership thier goals beeing met and the empowerment and fair distribution of wealth to many more Africans. What they fear is an educated AFRICA, all the liess they have told all the misleading the misdirections as we are being taken now!!!!. There is no doubt that there are Jihadist in Mali but they have been there for decades they were empwered by the west during thier attempts to undermine the African revolutions that took place. The west with thier immoral selves led the way in counter revolutions not only was Libya the template it was thier way forward ; they made contacts with AL Qaeda and armed them in Libya, distributing some of the most arms during what was an arms embargo. With forsight they made sure that these Jihadfist wereable to fil the ranks swelling it to ever higher numbers; they know there is a vry young age deficit between east and west so they made sure that there millions an endless ammounts of weapons and ammunitions deposited in Africa".. this my brothers and sisters in cynical very cynical, we saw with Bahrain they use the Saudis to crush and still crush thsi iprising in Yemenagain they used the Suadis but with a twist they decided to hodl elections with 1 candidate and no opposstion???? What do you call these types of ideologies dictatorships autocracies dictacrocies absotcracies; this what the west is bringing to where we live!!!. This new dispersal of troops in Africa is no good. The French has overwhelmed the Francofone sttes with thier french identity that they are moreembracing of thier white enslavers than thier black Freewize liberators!!!!!!.. This is quite a feat by the French'. They have isolated the AFRICAN UNION making it once again a non entity"".Africa again is leading the way with dialogue; we have learned dearly from the distorted counter revolutionary moves designed bythe west. What we are seeing is the French taking away the intitiative fom the AFRICAN UNION". Mali has no right to ask a foreign colonial pwer to bring troops into AFRIC??? Again this shows that we do not have a strong Union. Francofone states have shown thier willingness to support France over thier own continents needs. Africa is using more dialogue more interaction not divisoopns as the west and French promotes. The west practices one thing divide and conquor so no doubt this si thier agenda whatever they sell to the worlds media. Listen to the narrative its about French lives being protected as the rebels get closer to Frnace; is this foolishness or what. MALI has suddenly gotcloser in geography moving from west africa surapssing the north African states to move accross the water from France????????? RIDICULOUS. Italy is the colsest to Africa this is why we see so many people drowning on thier way from Libya. How many people do you hear leaving from Mali drowning going to Europe????? NOT ONE!!!!!!!WHY ARE MALIANS FIGHTING AGAINST THE TAUREGS??The TUREGS were ready to embarce thier country insated we are at warthis going to distabilise the enmtire SAHEL should this contiue. What will happen is that MALUI will nver regain its integrity we will have french troops occupying parts or more parts of west Africa openly. The most profound thing we were against is the use o foreign troops which we were succssfully avoiding has been forced upon Africa by Malains without convening with thier brothers and sisters in the AFRICAN UNION. Has our people in MALI not seen the tremendous ammounts of success made by the AY' combatting all the conflicts the west is trhowing our way!!. Weat Africa is very important to Africaon a whole, the need for stability is very important especailly when there is insuregncies in Nigeria. Conatining conflict spearheading dialogue was essential to a brighetr future for the region. Who si this guy Hollande to think that he can make decxisions for AFRICANS????What he is doing is wroong there is way to wagr wars and his early victoires does not mean he is going to win the war???????When we look at Yemen Somalia if you noticed the AFRICAN UNION has taked the impetus out of Al Qaueda. Should a PEACE intitiative be reached out to alShabaaband government responsibilty be used as rerasons why they should embrace AFRICAN SOCIAL DEMOCRCAY they would embrace this with pride and bring even more quality to the nation. What the French are doing is trying to stagnate AFRICA, they do not want to see us progress they do not want to see a strong AFRICAN UNION. France wanst to be the master fo the Francofone states they want to collect the taxes that goes into the pockets fo certain politicians. What you can be assurred of is thatFrance will seek payment an use of AFRICAN SOIL FOR THIER TROOPS ON A LONG TIME AGREEMENT. This is taking us back in time, this is what I continue to say these people think they know what is right for us and they should make decisions without our beneifit of conversations. This is not the direction we ant togo especially in west AFRICA .. Yhese Jihadist has been there for years the Tauregs have been complaining to the MAlkains for time memorial so they knew this was comming.; the Captain who led the coup was right no foreign troops shoul be on their soil, now you have your old enslaver on the soil. They are also giving to the world thier spin as to why they should be waging war in MALI!!!!!!!. What MALI does not need is long term conflict with alot of deaths and irrepearable reconciliations".. It is imperative that there can be love at the ned of conflict that does not take decades and centuries to repair'. AFRICA is growing and everyone wants to grow become a part of this new liberation that is besotting AFRICA. France is a spoiler they do not want AFRICA to progress. If the MALIANS were indeed the solicitors of this greivous error of all times. We living in the 21st centruty under no circumstances wishes to take our selves back in time under the occupation presure the thought thqat our former enslavers has free reign in any part of AFRICA. What we are seeing is that we have a loss of vision as many of these politicians that are voted in are very weak and and not good at neterprneurship so they sell out the country to western nations for petty cash wqhen they can make billuioins they accept a few million even putting the money in the western banks so they acn ammass it use it with impunity and when they feel like take it v back ; so they are not too bright, What we need in AFRICA to complete this renasceice that is shaping through out AFRICA are visionary leaders who will use oru soil to empower our people using the lands to feed all africa making sure that there is an over abundance of food starvation never ever in AFRICA again"". Occupation never ever in AFRICA again , but we see the oppossit.." The AFRICAN UNION MUST BE SURE TO IMPLIMENT THE CONSTITUTION AND ITS MERITS, ALLOW FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THIS CONSTITUTION IS HERE TO ASSURE OUR INDEPENDENCE THIS CONSTITUTITON WILL ASSURE OUR SOVEREIGNTY" ." WE AS AFRICANS SHOULD NOT VIOLATE OR UNDERMINE THIS CONSTITUTION', THIS IS OUR HOLY GRAILE"..THE AFRICAN UNION HAS BEEN FIRST TO SAY THAT THERE WILL BE NO VIOLENCE WHEN WE CAN DO THIS BY DIALOUGE'.. WHEN WE DO GO TO WAR WE WILL HAVE EVERYONE OF OUR BROTHER AND SISTER STATES PARTICIPATING MEANING THAT THERE WILL BE NO HIDING SPACES FOR THE PERPETRATERS. AFRICA IS CLEAR IN WHERE IT IS IT WANTS TO GO!, WE DONT NEED EUROPEANS MAKING DECISIONS FOR US. THE AFRICAN UNION WANTS TO DO THINGS BY CONENSUS WE KNOW WE WANT FULL INDEPEDNECE FORM ALL AND EVERY FORM OF OPRESSION SUPPRESSION COLONIALIMS IMPERIALISM DICATTES FROM ABORAD WE DONT WANT DECSIONS THAT IS TAKEN OUTSIDE FO AFRICA OR BY OTHER THAN STAKE HOLDERS IN THE AFRICAN UNION. WE DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT ANY ARTILCES OR CHALLENEGS THAT ARE NOT EBINGT SET IN THE HALLS OF THE AFRICAN UNION BY A MAJOURITY OF OVER TWO THIRDS OF MEBER STATES. THERE MUST BE 100% OR 75% CONCENCUS FOR WE THER AFRICANS TO FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH ANYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO THIS" GLORIOUS CONTINENT OF OURS". WE DO NOT WANT OTHERS TO USE AFRICA AS A TOILET TO DROP THEIR WASTE BECAUSE THEY ACN NOT CONTAIN THE ILLNESSES AND PAINS THEY HAVE IN THIER NATIVE COUNTRIES. WE AS AFRICA MUST BE VERY CAREFUL AS TO HOW WE AMKE DECISIONS WHEN WE ARE SPEAKING OF CONFLICT AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT THE PEOPLE AFTER THE CECASION OF VIOLENCE. AS WE SEE IN SYRIA LIBYA IRAQ THERE IS NOEND TO THESE VIOLENT CONFLICTS. WE SEE THAT IN PALESTINE SINCE ITS INCEPTION THERE HAS NEVER BEEN PEACE!!!!!!!!! WE MUST LOOK AT ALL THESE THINSG WE MUST THINK EVEN HARDER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE WE ARE NOT LIVING IN A NICE WORLD THESE WHOM ARE THE POWERS ARE FAR FROM NICE PEOPLE. WE HAVE THIS "EDUCATED2 LOT IN AFRICA PSEAKING TO THE WIDER POPULATION INCITING THE PARCTICES OF WE MUST BE CIVILZED FORGIVFE MOVE ON THESE ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE????? THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ATUGHT BY THIER ANCESTORS HOW TO BE RUERS OVER THS PLANET AND THEY WILL NOT SUBMIT NOR RENOUNCE THIER POSITIONS AS MILITARIST AND HEGEMONSIT OVER THE PLANET". THIS LEAVES YOU IN A VERY STICKY SITUATION YOU MAY BE ABLE TO GO ABRODA AND GET A JOB YOU CAN NOT TAKEW THE ENTIRE AFRICAN CONTINENT WITH YOU AND THEY WANT TO PROFIT OFF OF AFRICA. IT IS THE POSITION OF THE WEST TO SEE MORE UNDEREDUCATED PEOPLE THAN EDUCATED THEY WANT TO SEE LESS TECHNOLOGY THAN MORE AND THIER IDEA IS TO KEEP CONFLICTS ALIVE IN AFRICA SO THEY CAN PROFIT FROM THE CHAOS. THEY ALSO LIKE SELLING WEAPOSN. THEY DONT MIND SELLINGTANKS AD AND ALL SORTS THEY AHVE DRONES THEY HAVE SUPER TECHNOLGIES WITH THIER AIR CRAFTS AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO SEE AFRICANS LOOKING TO DVELOP THIER OWN TECHNOLGIES WITH STRONG ARMIES, AIR FORCES , NAVIES. WE DO NOT HAVE TO IMPORT MATERIALS WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED TO BUILD FROM TANKS TO NUCLEAR ARSENALS. WE MUST TRULY WAKE UP. "ONE HEART 'ONE LOVE' ONE AIM' ONE DESTINY" SEEK OUT TH TAUREGS MAKE PEACE AND RESOLIDIFY THE BORDERS. THE TAUREGS WERE CLEAR THEY AHVE NO INTENTION OF BREAKING THIER TIES WITH MALI, ITS TIME BLACK PEOPLE REALISE THEY ARE ONE BLOOD IN AFRICA" STOP USING THE EUROPEAN BAROMETER FOR DEFINING YOUR BLOOD AND WHOM YOU ARE!! THE WEST SAID ANYTHING EVERYTHING TO CONSOLIDATE THIER POWER IN AFRICA. MAKE USRE THAT WE REMEMBER THAT THE BLACK MANS ROLE AS MASTER OF AFRICA AND THE EARTH FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. THE LIGHT SKINNED PERSON WAS BORN OF THE BLACK MAN; NO 2 WHITE PEOPLE COULD NEVER EVER PHYSICALLY PRODUCE A BLACK CHILD WITH MELANIN! WHERE AS 2 BLACK PERSONS, VERY BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK PEOPLE CAN PRODUCE A WHITE CHILD WITH NO MELANIN SO YOU DECIDE?
