| Horn of Africa: Uncovering Djibouti |
|
|
|
July 03, 2008 11:26 AM |
|
|
Most people were shocked and in disbelief how fast the Djibouti case developed. Obviously, it was well planned, coordinated and synchronized by the conflict machine of the State Department led by Dr. Jandayi Frazer. It appeared like a tsunami; engulfed the Horn in no time taking every Eritrean by surprise. This raises a whole host of questions into the motives and the actors. Why? Why did Djibouti take this route? Who are the actors? What is the motivation behind it, what can they do and how to respond?

| Sierra Leone: The African Union -- Relevant or An International Laughing Stock |
|
|
|
July 03, 2008 11:23 AM |
|
|
In these days the African Union (AU) has been presented with a challenge and opportunity - the challenge of dealing forthrightly with the illegitimate government of someone who can be rightfully referred to as "former President Robert Mugabe", calling his game to an end and instead exploiting the opportunity to gain the credibility and relevance it so desires as a continental grouping towards a new course of democracy and development for Africa.

| Ghana Elections: Once Again It Is an Election Year -- Politics, Promises and Deceit |
|
|
|
July 03, 2008 10:46 AM |
|
|
I am wondering how politicians feel in an election year. How difficult it is for them to adjust to humble, sociable, prudent and respectful lifestyles. This is the period they are on their best behaviours and pretend to be on the level of the ordinary man. They come up with the promise of paradise tomorrow and what happens after that is the concern of God.

Ghana must never allow any dictator or the Military rule us ever again. A nation is innovative, creative and yearns to improve itself if and only if there is evidence of safety, good housing, food, freedom of speech and opportunity for further education.

The one thing I've loved about all the doom and gloom negativity that seems to envelop us every day in the media and around the dinner tables is how certain sage and calm people have responded with positivity and realism in the face of often hysterical pessimism. One such opinion piece doing the rounds is from analyst Mark Ingham, which I've included in full:

My friend Kongo has gone bananas – again. Of late, he has been behaving in a manner likely to suggest that his medulla oblongata needs a total overhaul, like a motor engine. As you read this, he is in police custody and I am worried that he might end up serving time. I am not soliciting for funds because I know that no lawyer in his or her right mind would be willing give him legal representation. His case has no precedence – at least not in the US.

THE FORTHCOMING OF THE National Awards event won’t happen until July 1st ,but judging by the buzz, controversies and ‘insults’ surrounding it, the Public will not pay much attention to its significance, importance and ramifications. The center of gravity of the National Awards has been shifted and it’s creating very uncomfortable feelings among Ghanaians of every political leaning.
