When I posted these notes this morning, I had not received the transcript of
the speech that the president has made today in the White house lawn about
Iraq. 3 hours after I posted it, I received notification that he was going
to deliver a short speech on the lawn and then I received the transcript of
what he will say or expected to say, for some times they notch it here and
there.  I was so surprised at the manner at which he made my case and how he
proved the point I have labored to deliver that the votes you carry in
Africa or third world, does not really count, and it is very irresponsible
for us to make people think that we are failing for we have poor leadership,
and I will explain.  But before I do, hasn’t it bothered you as it has
bothered many of us this side on why he has decided to throw his face into
the Iraq dirt? This is not his war this is a war of The Republicans and the
Republicans are making a killing out of it, but trust me on the speech of
today there is no one that is going to list GWB on the failure of Iraq ever
but Obama. And it was so funny for Bush sold that war on there are weapons
of mass destruction. Now we know there are no weapons, this president is
selling the war on “Our interest” Really? You and whom? And you think that
will galvanize the people to your support? And if you’re asking him
questions don’t ask him if he removed the troops earlier, that pisses him
really off. American presidents are powerful, you should have seen how
headlines changed and internationally, to United States has gone back to
Iraq. An all way from New Zealand to Vancouver every one changed his/her
headline. 

 

Let me go to what is of value to the thread.

 

There are three points he has made about Iraq that have been of great
interest to us as critical thinkers. {a} We need to get a moderate who can
include everyone in Iraq so that the Sunnis start to believe that they are
part of the government. {b} Iraqis must be the ones deciding the future of
their country and {c} We need an election held in Iraq to choose a new
government which will incorporate every one. Look closely at those sentences
from a single speech, how will the Iraqis decide who to lead them when you
have decided that they  need a moderate? Who defines a moderate? Will that
decision be made after you blow up half the mountains or before? And all I
am trying to deliver to my dear friend Edward Pojim is that the ballot a
Iraqi holds in his/her hand today is very immaterial, for you must elect who
United States has decided that you will elect. That is how we are in Africa,
yes we have bad leaders yes our people are savages but the problem gets
worse by the intervention of The West and it bothers me when expressing this
point now turns me into an anti-west as Edward Pojim has defined all of us.

 

Let us remember that an election was held in Palestine and Hamas was
elected. Now the election of Hamas is not the factor I am looking for here,
but I am looking at the reaction of many Western countries. They stood up
and declared it a democratic election.  There is no Western government that
ever stood up and said that the election of Palestine/Hamas was dictatorial.
In fact even the state department praised the election. The Carter group
praised it that it was democratic. So Palestine got a government
democratically elected by the people. Now hold on that thought. Those very
same Western countries turned around and classified that democratically
elected government as a terrorist organization. They packed bombs and sent
them to Israel to blow up the government and the fools that elected it. And
my question to you name sake remains very simple. What is the value of the
ballot in the hand of a Palestinian when the decision of who leads Palestine
is made in Tel Aviv and Washington? Yes Africa has a number of problem, but
ignoring the damage done by Western countries in Africa is very detrimental.

 

Now sit and watch Ukraine because it is going to become a problem to
everyone, and I will come back with an I told you so.

That is true as well. It is also true that as we starve with solutions on
Africa we start to discuss the problem with reality. What Edward Pojim is
preaching about poor leadership and useless governments in Africa is very
true, and I do not  want anyone to underestimate that argument, but we need
to look very hard in our face and agree that those leaders and any leaders
you will elect in Africa have totally no powers on the decisions they so
make in our continent. I am going to use Kenya that has been discussed very
extensively in this forum, Kenya has a problem of Kikuyus and Luos going
after each other, there is no debate about that, but those two people as
they go after each other let us not delude ourselves that they are the
problem of Kenya, no they are both just being used. The major decision
makers of Kenya day today lives are Washington and London. Raila Odinga
stood and stated that when he gets to power Americans are going to be
removed from Kenya, he threatened two major institutions, the American army
using Kenya and using Mombasa. When you do that you have stopped The
Americans from being able to monitor the Suez Canal let alone Middle East.
What Raila wanted to do is exactly what Tsivangirai believes and what
Besigye believes. They want these countries to be handed back to the
colonial master. All cars in Kenya to be British cars and all industrial
machinery to be British. 

 

The British loved that for they have been sucking Kenya to the grass, but
Americans understood the other side of Kenya politics they would be allowed
to use Kenya but Kenya will be opened up to other markets including China.
We can buy wherever we want but we have no problem Americans using our
country. Now that debate is way up and above you being a Luo or being a
Kikuyu, it is the top decision makers that are making it. The Americans
agreed with the agreement, now the campaigns went on and you fools started
to kill each other because you are Kikuyus and you are Luos. When the voting
ended and indications came that Raila was winning you stood up to kill each
other, The British are already in Kenya, with a sitting barracks I may add,
the Americans are watching from Mombasa, and this thing is just about to
explode. George Bush dispatches the secretary of state to Nairobi to look in
the eyes of both Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, Odinga was told to shut up and
so he did.  You fools went on with your riots but it never mattered how many
Kikuyus die it never mattered how many Luos die the decision had been made
that Raila is not going to win the state house, way before the election was
called.

 

Now go back at what Edward Pojim asked because it is important to be put
into perspective “I would love to hear that, too! Which Secretary of State,
and when did he fly into Nairobi, and before which election results were
announced? I'm all ears, namesake.  -Pojim”  End quote. He had a glee on his
face for he thought we did not recognize it. The moment I directly responded
to his statement he ran from the discussion, for it became too hot. Now
there are those that have sent me Emails of wouldn’t she have visited Kenya
for other issues? The answer I have given them privately, is the very same
one I am going to post publicly. A sitting Secretary of state is a very
important figure in any administration, when he/she visits a country and any
country he visits the government. That is why he/she is received only by the
sitting president or sitting minister of foreign affairs. Condoleezza Rice
went to Kenya at that trip when there was no sitting government, no
president and no minister of foreign affairs, who did she exactly go to see?
When a country is in election the government is resolved, everything United
States wants to do in that country at that time it does it through its
embassy not send in a secretary of state. By the way the British delegation
was in Nairobi as well. Kenya became a very hot country for these visits
were impromptu. At the end of the day the Americans prevailed and Kenyatta
won the election. Now the British really want him into Hague, now they will
start to destroy him from the outside. These fights continue on and on to a
point that these countries even send in weapons and moneys to fighters so
that they disable your governments and so that whoever has handed them a
better deal gets to power. Had Raila won the election Kenya would have
plummeted into a civil war, and it is that serious, for they will dump in so
much money and so much weapons and you fools use them to murder each other.
They will sit on the side as you are dying and at the end of the day after
you have died as Congolese are dying today, they will show up and take what
they want from your country.

 

Kabila the old man fought that war from way back before I started to follow
politics, but Mobutu remained in power for he was delivering to the power
makers. What changed in DRC is that Kabila made an offer for the very first
time, that The British and Americans would not refuse, if you put me in
power I will hand you this much in minerals and wealth, the deal was good
and in a blink of an eye the war became serious and he won power, after so
many years of sleeping in that war. But the deal he handed them was very
anti DRC and he knew it but he believed that when he is in power he will
flip at them and so he did, and so they flipped at him as well. Kabila’s
coming to power had very little with the way he fought the war, it had very
little with the how many Congolese died, he had to win that war for the high
ups said so. It is very erroneous  for us to stand up today and we blame the
Shiites and Sunni in Iraq, it is very erroneous for us to stand up and we
blame the poor leadership in Bagdad the decisions of Iraq are made somewhere
else, and that the tribal divisions you see in Iraq are only used as
catalysts of implementation. Many of you die or kill each other for free
really you or your tribes have nothing to do with it. The single largest
problem facing Baganda today is not Museveni it is actually The British
government which will at the end of the day use a man like Kashambuzi to
kill it.

 

Africa’s problem continue because the learned Africans as Edward Pojim the
Africans in diaspora, stand up and protect the west with everything it so
does. I have not seen any uneducated Ugandan in this forum stating that the
Gaza war was justified. Check every one who is supporting Israel at this war
is a degree holder, and why? Because they base their arguments on analyzed
reasoning on the paper, Israel said we are bombing Gaza for we are receiving
rockets from Hamas. Can Israel create the rockets? If it means that Pojim
will buy the story yes. So they sadly turn around and define the rest of us
as Western haters. Last year United Kingdom tripled the small weapons it
sent to Great Lakes. Edward Pojim says those weapons have no problem but
Museveni who uses them against his people and Ugandans that use them against
each other. No Edward Pojim the story is way much larger, UK does not export
such numbers of weapons into Great Lakes because it needs a market for them
only. They send them for they have interest into Great Lakes and any one to
hand them those interests accesses those weapons. What we need to do is to
go after those interests and control them.

 

When you understand the argument of foreign interests and push it, push also
the argument of poor leadership in Africa as Edward Pojim is doing, and also
push the argument of  uncivilized populace. The three arguments must be
pushed together, the problem we have is that many of our people especially
in diaspora are pushing only one thing, we have a bad leadership in Africa.
You will never clean up Africa until when you fight those three entities
together. I was in Uganda during Amin’s days, The West never hated Amin
because he killed many people, if the west hates leaders that kill people,
my God DRC has lost 8 million people didn’t Obama take a photograph with
Kabila and Museveni? And you think that killing one twerp called Jonan Luwum
really matters? No they hated him for he refused to sacrifice Uganda to them
on a silver platter, Museveni is their hero for did exactly that. You as a
Muganda or as a Munyankole or an Acholi being torched in train wagon by a
government is totally a nonissue in the larger scale of the equation.

Sorry I am late with a couple of readings, but briefly, in the Kenyan
election of 2007/8 which resulted into violence, that violence were caused
for the powers that use Kenya were divided between Kibaki and Raila Odinga.
To put it straight to you, The British wanted Raila Odinga to be the winner
and The Americans wanted Kibaki to be the winner. George Bush dispatched
Condoleezza Rice into Nairobi who instructed everyone to shut up for Kibaki
was the winner.  If you remember very well, that election was one of the
very few where a full American secretary of state flys in to instruct who
has won the election. Had Condoleezza Rice not gone to Kenya that time Raila
Odinga would have won than Kibaki. The votes we as Africans drop into the
ballot boxes are a waste of time sir, for we go into elections when the
winner is already decided by non-Africans.

Hope that responds to your question

 SUMMIT  Edward,Though WBK is right
 when he states there is nothing like post-colonialism as it  has changed
its approaches, you are very right to maintain  that our leaders and the
electorate to  blame.
  True, there is never a
 time in history when those colonialists or neo-colonialists  have come to
order us to elect so and so. We are the ones  who run around drumming when
one dictator is driven away and  replaced by another. For example, in Uganda
we saw regime  change and suffering of goal-posts shifted from region to
region, as usual, with the electorate clapping and dancing.
 The colonialists are nowhere to be seen, meaning even if  they have a hand
to play, they do it far away, so why  don't our people look around and
notice that the masters  are away, so let us mourn instead of celebrating,
that is  what an intelligent person can do. If it is duress, I may do  as I
am told but without enthusiasm, I will be reluctant and  sabotage the act at
the earliest possible opportunity. Why  blame the foreigners when we are the
same harming our  own?
  When an African
 president sleeps during cabinet session, it is the West to  blame; when an
African minister for works and transportation
  cancels a contract awarded to a firm, it is the West  to blame; when the
West withdraw their grants because they  have been diverted to another area
not in the agreement, it  is the West to blame. The lists of blame go on and
on;  unfortunately, the people who should be steadfast in their  analysis
are the very ones heaping blame on outsiders,  because it is easy to blame
an outsider, but will that solve  your problem, unfortunately, it will
never.
  As you mentioned it,
 issue of tribe, region and to some extent, religion give us  to support any
poor leader simply because he comes from  one's tribe. Why not take such a
leader to mismanage  your tribe and leave the rest of the country, if you
like  his poor leadership style.
  Blame the electorate,
 yes, we carry the blame.

 So, at election time, who gets to the ballot: a candidate  approved by the

 We recently went through a nasty bout of electioneering in  Kenya that has
left us with us some nfinished business. Yet,  all through this time, you
had maintained that it was the  west that did not want Uhuru to be
president.

 Have you changed your mind now, when you impune that the  west would not
allow an enlightened African elected to a  national leadership?

 I would rather hold the African electorate responsible for  voting
mediocrity into office. We do elect pathetic leaders  because we are more
concerned about our tribe, religion or  business interests than the
qualifications and leadership CV  of the candidates.

 And unless and until we start to place more premium of  national objectives
than parochial subjective matters, we  will continue to elect mediocre,
brutal, corrupt and  murderous leaders.

   Comrades,
 What
 puzzles me is the hypocrisy of the African leaders. They  heap curses on
Western leaders and openly claim that they  are
   not to be lectured on or told what to do when they  are  asked to observe
human rights, and if you had been asleep  only to hear the conclusion of the
speech of the African  leader, you would regret missing the whole speech.
You say,  yes, men are speaking, kick imperial arse,  yes.  Does  that
puzzle anyone? Yes, at least me. The puzzle here  arises  when no single
African leader has rejected the invitation  which basically was for proper
and real lectures of what  they must do. They are in Washington attentively
listening,  smiling, clapping even no point is put across, and  nervously
parting
   their official wives; and none is opposing what they  are  told. Oh,
wait to hear what they will say when they return to their  empires; they
will curse and
   curse reminding Western capitals not to lecture to  them.
 These people are hypocrites.
 I
 would have expected something like: President Obama, since  you are the one
who wants to meet us, it is cheaper for you  to come to our African Union
(AU) headquarters to meet us.
 We are poor, at least that would save on our staggering and  ailing
economies, we are frugal now since you people accuse  us of lavish spending;
come and meet us here in  Africa." That would have been good but well coated
resistance, though others could even openly refuse stating  that Africa does
not receive lectures from
   America, why did
   they not refuse? Because they are hypocrites and fear  the  West.
 I
 am waiting to hear what they will say during the press  conferences; how I
wish the Kateregas of the many countries  could ask real questions not such
stuff like, "Mr.
 President, I have  tough questions for you: H.E., how  was your trip to
Washington, DC? The next question is,  "Did you like the trip?" Thank you

   US
   opens
   Africa summit with call for
   political

 toleranceBy Jerome CARTILLIER,
   Shaun
   TANDON | AFP – 17
 minutes
   ago View Photo

   The United
 States urged

   African
 leaders on Monday to respect political

 differences,
   saying that core
 democratic
   principles are vital to
   achieving long-term

 economic growth.
   The call came at the
 start
   of
   an
 unprecedented US-Africa summit in

 Washington attended by
   35 presidents,
   nine
   prime ministers, three vice
 presidents,
   two

 foreign ministers and a king.
   The
 three-day
   program of talks
   marks one of President

 Barack Obama's biggest

 initiatives for
   Africa, against the
 backdrop of an Ebola


 outbreak and several security
   crises on the


 continent.


 Washington is seeking stronger

 economic
   ties with Africa, having found
 itself outpaced by
   China and Europe
 on a continent where the
   International
   Monetary Fund expects to see
   5.4 percent growth this year
   and 5.8 the
   next.
   But, in a sharp contrast to
   China's business-first approach,
 US
   leaders first

 addressed democracy and civil
   rights
 concerns.
   Vice President Joe
 Biden
   met
   African
 civil rights leaders and
   encouraged them to
 fight
   corruption.
   "It's a cancer in

   Africa as well as around the
 world. Widespread corruption
   is
   an affront to the dignity of its
 people
   and a direct threat
   to each of your

 nations' stability, all nations'


   stability," Biden said.
   - More than

 'strong


 men' -

   Secretary of State John
   Kerry
   said that a strong civil society can
   bolster democracy and

 the rule of law --
   which are "not just
 American values,

   but
 universal values."

 "Diversity
   is always a
   better predictor of success
   than uniformity. Because strong

   institutions are always more
 effective, more durable and
   more
 predictable than strong men or
   women,"
 he
   said.

   Outside the State Department a
   crowd of
   around 100
 protesters, many from Washington's
   large expatriate Ethiopian community,  demanded
   the United

 States not
   cosy up to African
   autocrats.
   Citing the example of South
   Africa's late anti-apartheid
 champion
   Nelson Mandela,
   Kerry said that most

 Africans supported limiting their

 leaders
   to two terms in office.
   "We will urge

 leaders
   not
   to alter national
 constitutions
   for personal or political
   gain," Kerry

 said.
   But Kerry did not directly
   name any of the long-serving leaders--  most of
   whom were

 nonetheless invited to the summit
   including
 Equatorial
   Guinea's Teodoro
   Obiang Nguema, Rwanda's Paul
   Kagame,
   Uganda's
 Yoweri Museveni or Cameroon's Paul
   Biya.
   Angolan
 President Jose
   Eduardo
   dos Santos, in office for 35 years,
   was also invited but

 sent the vice
   president.
   Earlier Mondya, Kerry met
   with
   President Joseph
 Kabila of
   the
   Democratic Republic of Congo
   and welcomed
   his
 efforts to tackle militia violence in the
   war-torn nation.

 The
   United States has been
   pushing Kabila to
   step
 down in line with his constitutional

   limit when the vast nation goes to
   the polls again in
   2016.
   The top US diplomat

 also vowed
   that the United States
 would
   support the work of embattled
   gay activists
   and
 champion press freedom "including for
   journalists charged with terrorism or
   imprisoned on
   arbitrary
 grounds."
   Ethiopia has recently
 charged

   seven bloggers
 and three journalists with terrorism.

 Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn
   -- a key
   security
 partner -- was
   nevertheless invited.
   - Ebola outbreak -
   While the United States had

   hoped to focus on an
 economic agenda, the public health

 crisis caused by the Ebola outbreak -- which
   has left almost

 900 people dead in west
   Africa since the
 start of the year
   -- is
   also taking center stage.
   On the sidelines
   of
 the
   summit, Guinean President
 Alpha

   Conde and senior officials
   from
 Liberia and
   Sierra Leone held talks on the
 Ebola

   response with Tom
 Frieden, the director of the US Centers
   for Disease Control and Prevention, and  Sylvia
   Mathews

 Burwell, the US secretary of health
   and
 human
   services.

   Security officials were

 expected to focus
   on instability in South
 Sudan and the

   Central
 African Republic and to discuss ways to act

 against
   Al-Qaeda in the Islamic
 Maghreb,
   Boko Haram militants from
   Nigeria and
   Shebab
 militants from Somalia.
   And,
 despite
   strong growth in
   much of
   Africa,
 Ghana's President, John Mahama, said
   that he is seeking an IMF bailout to
 address a
   currency

 plunge and close a large fiscal
   deficit in
 what was once one
   of

 Africa's healthiest economies.

 -Greater
   involvement by
   Obama
   -

   Obama, who plans personal
   involvement
   Tuesday and
 Wednesday at the summit, is the

   first US president of African descent but  devoted little
   time in his first term
 to the continent.
   He traveled last
 year to

   Africa and
 announced an initiative to bring electricity
   to
   at least 20 million
 more Africans
   through $7 billion in
   private funds. But

 officials have warned observers not to

   expect flashy announcements from the summit  in
   Washington.

 South African
   President
   Jacob
   Zuma said
 he believed Obama's
   African
 background
   "has not
   helped" as he faces domestic political

   pressure in the United
 States not to put more focus on

 Africa.
   "I believe he
   could have
   done more,
 but I think he always
   was aware of this
 fact, and
   therefore
   he
   has navigated the situation very
 well,"
   Zuma told reporters.
