| America doing business with dictators in Uganda...what does that say about their own views on democracy? |
I was recently accused by a friend of being quote on
quote, westernized. I was told by this African friend of mine that I was too
(Americanized) and therefore my views on African policies and issues were
misleading. I of all people was shocked. To say the least, my friend accusing
me of being too (Americanized) had an ipod around his neck. He was on face-book
and twitter and have no doubt he was dressed in what I will personally define as
western clothes. I mean last time I checked Africans did not introduce the
wearing of suites, leather shoes and or neck ties to the world. I mean I have
flipped through a few history books and can confirm Africans walked around
naked for a long time. So here he was dressed in a black two-piece-suite and
working for the big government in a small country by the Nile. Yes, this guy
who is not (westernized) at all was speaking to me in English; I was confused
to when that was an original African dialect. This friend of mine who works in
the education ministry belongs to the same kind of folks who teach African
students nothing else but western culture. I mean it was those same Africans
that taught me that the Nile was discovered by western explorers. The same
Africans who communicate through western invention are the same Africans hating
on the western world they admire so much. “Oh how those Whites are robbing Africa of all
her goods!” he screamed on top of his lungs. “Oh how they don’t want Africa to
proper, and oh how they want all Africans to die in poverty, and oh how they
have planed this out!” Yes, according to him, the whites in the west sat down
somewhere and said, “Let’s screw Africa up the butt hole, forever!” This is one
of those conversations that many Africans have on a daily and I tend to either
be naïve or perhaps I happen to see the world a little more different than the
likes of my friend. For the most part and in my opinion, Africa’s relationship
is that of two strange bed fellows where basically one fellow puts out (in this
case aide) in order to gain control of the relationship. What happened to
Africa after the colonists left? For simple
reasoning on a simple fact of what is going on in Uganda, Rwanda and Congo as
you read this is a great illustration of this relationship.. These famous
American allies are caught in the situation where none of them are innocent and
the US has once again turned a blind eye on justice to defend and protect the
interest of its African puppets over the people of Congo. The fact that the
American state department can fly it’s envoy to Uganda and have a buffet with
one of Africa’s longest serving dictators goes to show you how much the US is
interested in spreading their so called democracy to Africa while screwing
Africa in the butt. Africans should look at western countries like the US as a
bed-fellow who just stops by to get what they want every now and then leaves
without even washing off. But don’t worry, they will send you MONEY! The west has done it many time, Patrice
Lumumba, Congo’s first elect official was executed by a firing squad assisted
by the Belgium government and America’s CIA. Lumumba is the most popular
example of how the US and other western countries would do anything to protect
their interest in Africa. Even if it means to kill a county’s founding father
and replace him with a favored thug or watch millions die as they are in CONGO.
Congo is the rich friend who has no security for their property surround by opportunist
neighbors waiting to steal in day light while the BIG watch dog (the US) is
watching it all go down. So much for peace, fight-on my brothers and sisters, after
all, one for all, all for one, homeland or die. AFRIKA!
