Africa Re-colonised….

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”…

A TALE OF TWO LADIES

Mrs. Bush and Ms Rice are trying to convince the world and the US how brilliant and advanced is Mr. Bush Jr. ….to the extent that we cannot understand his actions now but in generations to come and people of USA shall be so grateful…..what a paradox!!!!!

The Enigma Mr. Bush Jr. is leaving the white house and everything is in shambles and yet we shall not understand now, but in years to come…

Just sitting and throwing my shoulders to the back and think of the world, I cannot disagree on more in life than those statements of the Mrs(s)……

If the actions of Mr. Bush Jr. are so brilliant why does he need people to defend…acts and successes talk for themselves… To make it short and sweet just READ THIS—>….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Mandela….

The last respectable standing man Madiba, or Mr. Mandela is celebrating his 90th birthday this week. I wish him a happy many returns.

Mandela has announced 2 years ago his official retirement from politics, yet he is and shall always continue to be the father of the African Continent and South Africa…..he is the lasting symbol of the old good days of morals, ideology, and African dreams……

Africa may have let you down but your birthday may inspire the hopeless African youth that there could be a better tomorrow if the believed in Africa, their continent and in their identity…..the younger African leaders may always looked around for easy allies to global recognition, but Madiba proved that to change people beliefs and nations destinies can only happen if one start by believing in oneself and ones dreams…..recognition starts from within.

Mr. Madiba on your birthday I salute you as a leader of all the past and future leaders…..

Happy Birthday!!!

What are we having now!!!

I am watching with dismay all what is happening in the world now….since the questioned electio of Mr. Bush Jr. the world is no more the same….it is an old piece of news what I am arguing here, but I am not very optimistic about the election of Obama….it is unprecedented that 80% whites elects the black boy of Kenya to be the president of the strongest country in the world, I am yet to see that, as my wondering mind goes into rampage. The bush family, its supporters and benefactors have been always in control of the main stream media, which polished Obama to the extreme….it is like feeding and growing a lamb before slaughtering him….Honestly I am very pessimistic…I hope this election process will not end up with the republicans on top of the American institutions again; after cooking the lamb over the election plate…..anyway, there is always tomorrow to see.

Sometimes I asked myself what would have come upon the world if Algore has become the president of the USA, for sure more winds of peace would have blown all over the world, due to the healthy environment that he would have persuade…anyway …. it is a ll a bunch of weighed possibilities that is how the world is formed…

When you go in any street in Africa now they have a big dreams about Obama, some which nears the myth of Robin Hood….I fail to agree….the African Americans struggled for generations to bring a black person to the administration, and when they succeeded they ended with Ms Rice!!!! what a nightmare …..

Another issue that suddenly came on the international scene, it the issue of Zimbabwe… and uncle Bob fierce resistance to international interference in his internal issues and the challenge to country sovereignty….

I am surprised how the main stream media always fails to mention how the crisis started during the early nineties , when UK failed to honour its treaty and agreement with Zimbabwe to compensate the little country, and using the gay rights as a reason for evasions of its responsibilities….

However a person that looks deeper in the current Zim crisis, would also question the role of the South African main stream media (mainly controlled by European descents). As if this crisis and the torment that Zim is enduring to just to frighten the neighboring reluctant South Africa away from the land reform initiatives….

Zim has no Oil, no strategic location; it has no challenging military power, it has nothing rather limited fertile soil mainly controlled by white and some mining activities, yet it shares borders and history with America’s African Jewel; South Africa!!…..thus the more international “diplomatic” Terror is focused on ZIM it would horify fragile, yet ambitious, South Africa. it would for sure delay transformation of mining industry and land reforms which are the main sources of income to the country and mainly controlled by the white minority of 7% percent of the population….I just remembered that the main stream media also has also conveniently forget to mention that the whole wealth of Zim was concentrated in the hands of 1% of the population before the start of the Crisis…how can 1% of the population control more than 90% of the wealth of a nation and yet they feel safe….especially when it is also coupled with ethnic major differences?!!!!!.

Anyhow…days are yet to deliver…

Freedom of E-Speech – “without prejudice”

I came across an article from Fox News about police brutality in Egypt. What amazed me is not the brutality of the police but the e-brutality towards the Mr Wael Abbas who published a video clip using You Tube platform, exposing police brutality….Mr. Abbas’s site was closed down and the video clips where removed, for showing such incidents, the question is, were Mr. Abbas and the people whom he repreent on the vidue clips oppressed twice?

Under Globalization, free of e-speech is a must, if we need to take the world to better place- as claimed- other wise the ordinary person shall turn to a subject living on a need to know basis. Another question that jumps to my mind by analogue is, if a person is reporting a crime and another entity obliterated such report, does that entity become a accomplice in the crime? Did You Tube and alike have become accessory to such brutality in an e-way? please advise…

WATER

The most valued good in the future shall be water due to scarcity and increase demand. Do we then need a WPEC (Organization for Water Producing Economic Countries). The water available for consumption globally is about 38 cubic Meter per day per capita, out of which about two third is lost between evaporation or flows back to oceans. The amount of Blue Water (available for water is supply) is about 5.2 cubic Meter per day per capita, which is also oddly distributed over the world’s population. With the global warming and other environmental changes do you think that countries with rich sources of fresh water shall create an organization for water producing countries? and shall water prices tadable like oil? If this is the case, will there be a rush to control the North Pole and South Pole fresh sources of water? and what shall happen to the urban poor populations and Third World Countries that lies in water stress zones?.

Some of above issues needs a debate…I look forward to your comments

The Middle EAST / NORTH AFRICA BY THE YEAR 2100

To a critic mind, the Middle East is an enigma. Its social structure commingles with its religious belief, resulted lack of control over its destiny.

Currently, the area has main political features such as :

1. Prolonged life span of political appointees ( in spite of minority participation in elections).
2. Non participation from the masses into the political processes.
3. Segregation; either horizontally within the social structure or vertically between governance and masses.
4. Despotism and manipulation of masses.
5. Ostensible freedom of speech.
6. Weak country’s institutions . They subjective to appointees personal will, dependence, and lacks vision.

The above is just a a brief run down of current ailments, which is not unique in nature but resembles in status some of the developing countries and underdeveloped countries.

Most of area’s are dependent in their economies on exploration and exploitation of its minerals and represent a high density markets for dumping of goods and services from other parts of the world. The impact of wars on its commodities cost, like oil prices, makes some of its areas beneficiaries and thus collaborates.

The unity of language, history and religion did not encourage a state of unity, but rather repulsiveness between countries in that area. this state was encouraged by multi-nationals, corporatism in order to disallow integrity of its markets, human resources and subsequently creation of one mature entity.

The same social segregation that exists within their social structures exits economically among various countries, where the countries of higher GDP behave in vain towards the less economic vibrant countries. Prior to Gulf War II, the GULF COOPERATION COUNCIL of 1981, was followed with ARAB CORPORATION COUNCIL of 1989 were active and constitute the separation between the plutocracy and the proletariat within the area. The later collapsed after GULF WAR II with sudden death.

In spite that most the inhabitants of the area are under constant belief in theory of conspiracy, the recent years shows no attempts to resists the weaknesses in their economic or political positions within the global system. however they have subjugated to the European and American blocks, preferring short term benefits to dealing with the pains of long term threats of extinction ultimately as a race, culture, countries and political systems.

During my discussions with some natives, as I cannot call them stakeholders due to their passive participation by choice, and presenting a question”how do you see the future of your area in 2100?” all of them came with one response 2100 is too far and they are concerned more is their daily bread.

I presented to them my black version of such nightmare, when I said: By the time the oil in that area shall be long depleted, water scarcity shall be prevailing and the only source of water shall be by desalination of sea water. the later requires a huge amounts of energy which shall not be in the areas possession by that time and the south shall be enslaved to the north (economically speaking) in a quest of a drop of water. In that case all the current petro-wealth, shall be of no value. With a non-accredited education system and the lack of local research and development,most of the valuable minds shall migrate to the north for survival.

I could not carry on with all what I saw in that nightmare, but with lack of long term strategy to survive, the constant increase in population, demand and consumption the aforementioned nightmare shall become a prevailing reality.

I look forward to your contribution before start talking about AFRICA.

 

NED,
