But anybody telling the West to forget about Africa's oil will just be signing their death sentences.
Any govt that dares go that route will face a coup in no time - Remember the case of Congo Brazaville?
They were ordered to reduce their stake in 'their' oilfields from 7% to 5%.
The President who refused is now a refuge, residing in Texas.
Remember all the noisy nonsense about 'Arabs' in Sudan using oil weath to kill and enslave black Africans?
Well the Sudanese State only has a 2.5% share in the oil of their country.
Sometime ago, I suggested here that we use our Federo/Fedalist program partly as a means of hiding our corridors of power.
I did not see support in this.
We can fight for a federo where we can wear our 'Kanzus' and teach our daughters to kneel before their 'sengas', 'kojjas' etc... properly.
But we seem to forget that it is a dog-eat-dog world out there.
A friend from Mozambique was lamenting to me the other day.
That Mozambique is gone. That Everything of value in their country has been grabbed by Boers and Indians.
From the big Hydro Power Stations, to land, to butcheries, down to 'mandazi'hawking. Everything .....
In Kakira in Uganda, whole trading centres are being erased by Madhvani, and the meager properties of our people scattered into dust. How did you feel when a young man was crying that his Makerere degree certificate and transcript had been lost in the demolitiont?
It makes you cry for the return of an Idi Amin.
And then we kid ourselves that we have a parliament to look after our people.
Some farce of a parliament.
Everyone of the aspiring leaders, with their stupid certificates is busy running to white boys and girls in Britain and USA to kiss ass for 'support' and backing. The colonialists our forefathers fought so hard to get rid of, now we are inviting Boers to bring us cabbages and make us roast chicken for 'take-away'.
Give the devil his due; mu7 was right when he said that .... if we keep on being stupid, surely then we deserve no better than being enslaved....
N.B. On another note. In the circles of conspiracy theorists, word is that the late Dr David Kelly was killed because he knew too much.
He was one of the world's five top biological weapons specialists.
That he had worked on ..... the now completed weapon of a genetically altered superplague ..... that will be used to wipe all of us out. i.e. 'us' the useless and excess population of the earth. (Forget AIDS for it is just a tea party).
That when his anonymity was uncovered in the press, it was feared that he would hit back by revealing all.
So he had to be got rid of very quickly.
He joins a list of close to 20 of the world's leading microbiologists that have died in mysterious deaths just in the last two and half years.

--- Begin Message ---This article and the one I sent yesterday on the US's protectionist trade policies indicate that AGOA, NEPAD, globolization, etc are nothing but smoke-and-mirrors as far as the Third World, especially Africa, is concerned.
Africans need to tell the US and the rest of the world in no uncertain terms: unless you open your markets and stop subsidies to your farmers, forget African oil.
While this is the only thing the US will understand, the chance of it happening is just a tad less that Africa putting a man on the moon in a month of Sundays...

July 22, 2003 The fate of Vietnam's catfish offers a warning to poorer nations who try to play by the big boys' rules in the world trading system.http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/22/opinion/22TUE1.html?ex=1059889413&ei=1&en=a054380ed05839f9
ps: To the internet police:- Let's be realistic, federo does not grow in a vacuum, much less in poverty... (Man cannot live on bread alone!)
