@kiha,some of what you say about Bokassa is true but much was mostly French propaganda,esp the issue of cannibalism....Bokassa may have risen to power courtesy of the French,but he run out of favour from the French when he demanded payment for the diamonds the french were getting free from CAR.Do you know that Centrafricaines cry quietly for the days of Bokassa? Bokassa is the only president of CAR who built infrastructure,buildings etc in the country.If you visit bangui,all the structures were built during Bokassa's rule.and Belief it or not,after Bokassa,no development has taken place in this country since then.The whole country has been stuck in a very strange state of conflict,extreme poverty,undevelopment since then...well,its true the French are happy to see it remain that way.

Thanks Sanity for your feed back. My point is that the devil is not Africans, the devil is the Europeans and their American partners, they have purposely ensured those who lead in Africa are either their partners in crime against citizens of Africa or the Mzungu ensures development conscious leaders in Africa are kicked out or eliminated by all means available.

In short, we should disassociate ourselves with Wazungu completely if, and only if, we wish to prosper as a continent.

A French lawyer and former aide to Jacques Chirac says the ex-president of the country and his prime minister received millions of euros in cash from despotic leaders of African nations.

Robert Bourgi, who served as an adviser to Chirac and former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin before switching sides and joining the conservative camp of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, alleged on Sunday that several African governments had handed “briefcases” of cash to former officials of France, AFP reported.

However, the report does not at all mention what the despotic, Western-backed leaders of the poor African nations expected to get in return for pumping such large sums of money into election campaigns in France, one of Europe’s richest countries.

According to Bourgi, he “took part in handing over several briefcases to Jacques Chirac in person, at Paris city hall” in the 1980s and 1990s.

“There was never less than five million francs (more than 750,000 euros). It could go up to 15 million,” he noted, adding “I remember the first handing over of funds in Villepin’s presence. The money came from Marshal Mobutu (Sese Seko), president of Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo).”

African leaders pay Euro Leaders cash

ndiyo maana na sema watu kama huyu ni bloody bure kabisa!!!

@Harrydre

Why do we allow ourselves to go down in this manner?
Note, no one wishes bad things to happen to him or his/her family. Some of our African Brothers have been more than willing to sell out their brothers for a profit or a favour here and there. Mzungu controls the conventional media thus programming your brain the way the want. When someone like me come along, you are already soo biased that what I say here to help us see the light is seen as some stupid argument to the point some Africans start to yawn.

Without a culture we can call our own, our brains are so vacuous that they can be filled with any garbage coming from the West such as Mexican Soaps, Junk foods, crazy music etc while we attempt to ape the west without asking whether what we see on TV is reality or is a packaged image of Western countries.

It always appears we know what/where the problem is but we just keep making noise about it and doing nothing to stop it.
That is where you are wrong. Only a minority few know these facts and take advantage of them. I have had the advantage of sitting down for a glass of wine or two with some of the elite of this country and they have a very low oppinion of their subjects. So, Wanjiku does not keep on making noise because she does not even know the reality on the ground. She believes the Mzungu missionary who comes to preach at the church comes to save her soul and numb her suffering if not bring development in form of hospitals and schools. She is doing nothing to stop it because she is not aware of her predicament in the first place. That is why when those who should be knowledgeable become passive, Wanjiku remains in poverty.

thing is as long as we are not economically independent and import more than we export, we will forever remain slaves.
We can continue exporting more but if what we get paid at the end of the day is pea nuts, we will still remain in poverty. And that is where the beginning of the question should be. Africa has the largest reserves of natural resources. However, most of it is stolen by Mzungu, the way he stole our brothers and took them to provide free labour in America and Europe thus enriching their continents at the expense of Africa (please don't bring that story of our chiefs sold our brothers to Mzungu and that we are to blame. Remember Mzungu had gun powder, the way he has nuclear power today but we will still vote some black pig among us who will sell us to the Mzungu the way those chiefs used to do. So, give me a break here).

I love it when you state that we are slaves. Once every African realizes we are slaves, the source of the problem will be sought and we can start working at eliminating the suckers and collaborators with the devil. And Africa shall one day rise again if we stop yawning and dismissing issues because our brains have been brian washed for so long the only wiring system in our neo cortex is that installed by the Wazungus and anything else being introduced causes a short circuit.

Natural resources have been shown to play a key role in the conflicts that have plagued a number of African countries over the last decade, both motivating and fuelling armed conflicts. Revenues from the exploitation of natural resources are not only used for sustaining armies but also for personal enrichment and building political support. As a result, they can become obstacles to peace as leaders of armed groups involved in exploitation are unwilling to give up control over these resources. Even when conflict
gives way to a fragile peace, control over natural resources and their revenues often stays in the hands of a small elite and is not used for broader development of the country.

In the United Nations Secretary General’s seminal report to the General Assembly and the Security Council in 1998 on the causes of conflict and the promotion of durable peace and sustainable development in Africa,1 among the key economic factors identified as fuelling conflict was the illegal exploitation of natural resources.

Seven years later, in 2005, in the Secretary-General’s progress report to the 60th session
of the General Assembly on the “Implementation of the recommendations contained in the report of the Secretary-General on the causes of conflict and promotion of durable peace and sustainable development in Africa”2, the Secretary-General reiterated that illegal exploitation of natural resources in conflict-prone and conflict-ridden countries continued to be one of the contributory causes of conflict and of its recurrence and cited
the example of Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone and Liberia, where natural resources had provided major funding for the perpetuation of wars.

The report emphasized the need to address this issue, utilizing a range of instruments to limit the trade in conflict resources, including targeted sanctions against persons, products or regimes, certification schemes and the creation of expert panels to investigate illicit commercial activities in conflict zones as has been done in Liberia and Sierra Leone. The resolution on the causes of conflict3 underscored the need to address the negative implications of the illegal exploitation of natural resources in all its aspects on peace, security and development in Africa.

Moreover, the Security Council, in a resolution4 adopted in 2005, recognized the link between the illegal exploitation of natural resources, the illicit trade in such resources and the proliferation and trafficking of arms as one of the factors fuelling and exacerbating conflicts in the Great Lakes Region of Africa, and in particular in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Simple question, who buys the natural resources such as cooper etc? Is it Africans or Western Countries? Who supplies the guns? Is it other African countries or the same Western countries?

Sustaining the militia

A member of the British Parliament has accused the International Criminal Court (ICC) of being used by foreign governments — including his own — to clear the way for Prime Minister Raila Odinga to ascend to power.

Irishman Ian Paisley cautions that because of the ICC intervention, Kenya was heading towards a “dangerous impasse”.

Mr Painsley’s comments mirrored similar allegations in Parliament by some MPs who have accused the British government of working in cahoots with Mr Odinga to have Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta and Eldoret North MP William Ruto detained by the court.

“The ICC intervention is increasingly likely to drive this government and the country further apart, allowing a political leader from one ethnic group to try to remove an opponent from another ethnic group from the scene,” he wrote in the respected New York Times on Friday.

“The court’s determination to bring to trial several defendants accused of fomenting violence has enabled Odinga to call for the arrest of his main political opponent, Uhuru Kenyatta who now faces ICC charges.”

The MP raised questions about the role of Britain in the Kenyan matter, saying it had funded the protection of a prosecution witness in the Mungiki case of Mr Kenyatta and Mr Francis Muthaura, who has since stepped aside as head of Public Service.

“Kenyan case rests on a main witness who has changed his statements several times, and is under a witness protection plan partly funded by the British government, which has publicly supported the trial.”

Mr Paisley is a member of the Democratic Unionist Party, the leading in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest party in the House of Commons of the UK. He is the son of the Reverend Ian Paisley, the former leader of Northern Ireland.

He says that the British had a history of using courts to fix those opposed to them.

I said earlier that I will prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Mzungu is actually an enemy, and has never been a friend to Africans. The worst however is the black pig which allows itself to be used by Mzungu to do Mzungu bidding. That is the guy we should hit on the head with a fimbo like a snake, the betrayer, sell out, prostitutes our resources and should even not be allowed to be in Kenya. Have I been vindicated so far? Someone said I have those on my side and any further sermon here will not win over anyone anymore. At least, support came from unexpected quarters. Now, go out and spread the truth.

More data will be forth coming. God is great.

I think it's also about politics as much as it's about stealing from us-how else would you expect the mzungu to call the shots if not by making us weak, dependant on him and poor. The west cannot easily control a country that's economically powerful so they will make sure they derail your vision 2030. Ati they are unhappy about projects like the Lamu port too. Who knows, maybe their real intention is use the ICC to destabilise kenya so that they halt economic growth.
