The Israelis, Palestinians, Africans, and Their Foes Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Poverty , Peace & Conflict   Opinions

  

Union (AU) and New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD).

Sadly enough when meetings are scheduled and attended, all that are discussed are issues such as aid, grants and loans, debt forgiveness, debt rescheduling and assistance of various kinds. And after such discussions, these leaders go back home, loot funds generated nationally and in turn transfer these monies out again to keep in the hands of the people that they are seeking assistance from. The majority of their people are thus left in abject poverty, degradation of all kinds and strife. In fact, as an African reading this, do not be surprised that your leader is probably signing your future away right about now.
So know ye this day that while some of your enemy is outside of you, others lie within you and there is a strong network between the two.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Let me start by reiterating the fact that as humans there is the tendency for man to take things for granted. And a problem identified is half solved. These groups of people save for the Israelis tend to heap all of the blames to their problems on outside influences. And rather than trying to see where their own faults lie, they shy away from it. This makes me wonder how long this will last. The problems are caused by external bodies, as well as people of their own kind. The Palestinians have been betrayed by their own kind. I mean their Arab brothers, not Muslim brothers. In fact, I dare to say that Islam preaches against betrayal. The Israelis too have not escaped this problem. There were instances when their Jewish kind has betrayed the Israelis. And lest I forget, let me ask this question: is it not true that even the Jews even discriminate against themselves? Does the Russian Jew see himself as one and the same with the American Jew or the Ethiopian Jew? And do you think that the question of betrayal cannot play prominent role when there is so much discrimination? Now of all these groups, the Africans create most of their problems by themselves. As a form of advice to them all, I subscribe to the fact that they should deal with their various problems in isolation.

History has taught me to understand that unless you fight your problems facing them head on, nobody will do it for you. Anybody coming up in pretence of solving it for you will only capitalize in that same problem to better his own life at your own expense.
After all, we live in an age where people now see might as right. So my final word to them is “Do not live in a fool’s paradise.”
