During my recent visit to Middle East I followed three axes of events
Axes 1:
- George Mitchell visit to Middle East.
- Netanyahu announces rejection of the peace strategy based on the co-existence and creating of 2 states.
Axes 2:
- Morocco cuts it diplomatic ties with Iran
- Egypt accuses Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, Qatar and of course above all the Muslim Brotherhood, of planning attacks on Egypt
Axes 3:
- Iran convicts an American Spy in court.
Were all the above a welcoming party for George Mitchell …..
Egypt claims reminds me of those of the Bush administration in 2002 when they accused The Qaeda of Collaboration with Sadam Hussein to attack American interests; yet I recall that Cairo vexed such allegations based on the conflict in ideology between Hussein and the Qaeda. If that was the case then, how can the Muslim Brotherhood (Sunni) co-operate with Hezbollah (Shiite), and Qatar (Sunnis) cooperate with Iran (Shiites).
This is a very wide allegation and I believe that Egypt has lined up all America’s opposition on one tray during the welcoming party of Senator Mitchell, for him to select; while withering the Muslim Brotherhood comfortably.
This media portion of the covert operation is also to hide the failure of the strategic choice of the Arabs in its negotiation with Israel. In addition, Hezbollah operative held by Cairo shall be part of the exchange deal to the recently American convicted spy in Iran….
I think Cairo is trying to score its first favor with Obama’s administration, as well as gaining leverage and staying in the game while Tehran-Washington are just commencing their first talks and recognitions.

Along the years of my traveling in Africa I was always observant to demographic variations among air travelers and passengers, from empty seats, to Franco-phone African talking about “L’Afrique”, to the Europeans who think they shall get the elephants to mount them, to Americans who just came out of World Bank pockets as the solution, to the missionaries talking about the despair, yet collect more donations from the needy, to the Chinese who do not speak anyone except the Chinese!!!!. The problem this time, they were almost 35% of the passengers on the flight.
I always judge people with their belief system, and none I awe more than those who adopt the following proverbs saying:
- If you are patient enough you shall see the corps of your enemy floating down the river.
- Don’t give me a fish, but teach me how to fish a fish.
I believe that the above two proverbs are the inherent rules in the Chinese belief system and the main strategies that they use to conquer the world. China has adopted same strategy against USA and now it is watching the American Corp struggling to survive down the financial turbulent and turbid river.
The Chinese danger is that they are looking at “the bottom of the pyramid”, and they are uprooting the grass-roots’ opportunities in Africa. Those who have some small trading jobs here and there…..I am not saying the Chinese are wrong in their strategy to invade and colonies Africa peacefully. It the solution to their problems, where a low productivity, corruption coupled with low population density. It seems African to be the solution to all Chinese current social and demographic problems; but it seems that the African countries their and governments have lost contact with and vision of their grass-roots and they cannot hear anymore their hunger roaring
The reader may agree that those governments need the blessing of the new up coming master, but the problem that this master is not coming with new technology or development techniques, the Chinese are coming with ethnic replacement… they are creating closed communities competing with small traders, and they are financially supported by the their government, through subsidiaries schemes and incentives,
How can the poor and the helpless grass-root Africans compete with that?….at least when they used to import from china and sell in their mother land and continent, they had a job then, but now with the demographic replacement of the Africans by Chinese is dangerous, especially when they are up-rooting the citizens from their jobs, then they will create a monopoly of production, supply and afterwards ….politics
Wake up Africa and “don’t inhale”…

I have been trying to visualise the political landscape in South Africa without the presence of ANC, and I came up with a shocking discovery….The other parties (DA and COPE) would have nothing to provide that country, as there will be nothing to moan about, instead of working.
The South African Parties (COPE AND DA) are wasting huge amount of money and efforts on the war on ANC and Zuma rather than providing any tangible or trustworthy competition and alternatives….they are politically bankrupt to the extent they can only launch hatred campaigns.
I was observing the South African media for past 2 days with astoundment to the level of legal and constitutional ignorance of most of the presenters and most of their guests, where everyone says “but Zuma should answer to those charges”….since when the onus is on the accused to prove, it is the prosecutor that has to prove beyond reasonable doubt (in criminal cases) and by balance of possibilities in civil case…..I repeat; if it is criminal charges it has to be proven beyond reasonable doubt….where is this in the Zuma case?….more so the prosecutor is saying I cannot win because I cannot achieve conviction with ” beyond reasonable doubt”; yet everyone goes to Zuma to ask him to still defend himself…..
Also I support the fact that the local media is biased against Zuma, any blind person can see it where some channels are just pouring hatred…..Please note that it is an election year and Parties have to draw up better plans to convince the voters they are the best and can do for the masses better than Zuma…..
When a party or person is politically bankrupt, it or he can do nothing except barking at successful passers….
Wake up COPE and DA, I am sure you can do better than that;l otherwise appear busy….
