*Dear Assumpta, Who are the African leaders who are left not only to defend Africa but themselves.
Qatar, Turkey, Oman etc... were consulted on the bombing of Libya. Nobody bothered talking to the African Union. When The AU sent five African Presidents to visit Qaddafi NATO refused them to fly. Can you imagine African leaders being prevented from flying on the African Continent? Then Museveni teased us stupid ones that African leaders will start "An African Army". Just loose talk. He said African leaders will get out of the ICC. I say, what about AU forming institutions like, an "Africa High Court"? Is Museveni sure that he will never be dragged to the Hague - the so called Guantanamo Bay the Europeans have made for Africans? No real leaders left my friend Assumpta; Kagame? Kikwete? Obasanjo, Zuma? In Uganda crass opportunists like Besigye and Mao also have been lined up by the CIA "National Endowment for Democracy". It would truly be a tragedy if Uganda's Presidency passed from Museveni to his clone Besigye. * On Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 1:16 PM, Assumpta Kintu <assumpta.ki...@gmail.com>wrote: > Something does not add up, Mitayo but I do not see any African rulers > discussing the issue or objecting to the practice.
