That is a very ridiculous example. What does UK control in United States as
United States controls in Africa to an extent of Condolesa Rice deciding the
fate of a Kenyan election? Some how we need to reason as if we are sober.

Africans must stop this nonsense. The Berlin Conference tells us
something about history, but it does not explain the carelessness of Africans
themselves. It is as if Americans are today blaming the meltdown on Wall
Street, on something Great Britain might have done to the United States during
the colonial period. The primary blame for the cultural, political and economic
disasters of Africa must be placed on Africans, not on European colonialism and
imperialism.
I thank you.

An East African friend traced African ethnic ties for me that
included things like the Kikuyu areas extending - from Kenya - to the
region where the Lord's Army holds sway in Uganda. Ethnicities
were "clevaged" by the 1884-85 conference so this Tutsi/Congolese
tussle is complicated by cross border ethnic alliances, fueled by
mineral wealth. They're - the UN - sending in the "Colonial Soldier"
to "do his thing"; the colonial borders spell death for Africans and
security to the colonialists as "continuity" , a tenuous thread at
best. If Lumumba had left Katanga alone and not sent in Mobutu to
kill/slaughter Tsombe's people, maybe the agency would have been hard
pressed to find someone willing to kill Patrice, chop him into pieces
and then burn the pieces.
My brother, who's right in this case? Naim make Africans dey siddown
look; none of it makes any sense.

his transition team which is not an encouraging sign.

forget that "Butcher of Belgium", king leopold for the incalcuable
savagery and exploitation he and his minions subjected the Congo too,
this most recent assault against the Congo is american driven.

Information that has been uncovered since then, clearly indicates
that this genocide was used as a cover for the RPF to first invade
and take over Rwanda in 1994, with the ultimate goal of invading the
Congo and steal it's resources, which it did in 1998. I would highly
recommend reading Wayne Madsen book, "Genocide and Covert Action in
the Congo, 1993 to 1999". I would also recommend reading the
transcript from Rep. Cynthia Mckinney's 2001 hearings on the invasion
and plundering of the Congo. For updated information on the Congo, I
suggest visiting friendsofthecongo. org.

is to steal Congo's resources and kill and displace as many Congolese
as he can get away with. He is doing this of course with the support
of neocon backed Paul Kagame who is armed by the united states and in
turn provides arms to Laurent NKunda to carry out this slaughter of
Congolese people.

I don't think that I am naive enough to believe that fundamental
changes are going to happen but I hope for the best. To me, it is the
symbolism of Barack Obama that is important. But I have been sitting
here thinking for the past couple of days that shouldn't we be
talking about the Congo a lot more?
