| AMERICA VOTES: RACISM IS JUST STIGMATISING |

Its mind blowing seeing many an army of cynics demonizing each other in the US presidential elections. I think this should not be about ill thinking about the other personality in the race as it has turned to.
I have a natural love for Hillary not because of the gender but a Clinton who has had a good touch with blackness inherited from Bill senior, prompting some to code name him the first American black president. Turning to Obama, so much has been said about blood in his veins |

Many people, I know, did not recover from the “trauma” of CUD’s failure. It was a blow not only to their supporters but to all the people who wanted to see a sustainable culture of democracy...It does not help to criticize or blame one group or the other today for things that's happened yesterday, as it would be nothing but a hindsight bias, but the lesson we got from that process should be a motivating factor to start rebuilding a reputation and restore some credibility of “Opposition” culture. Just in TIME. |

Medieval Kings and Princes were naively convinced by alchemists that they could turn lead into gold. Even though the alchemists repeatedly failed, they received the support of the Kings and Princes and the joke continued until every one became fed up. |

| The build up to the summit was intense, with members of the organizing committee led by Mr. Joash Maangi and Henry Ongeri running up and down.

| On Tuesday, February 19, Mr Mwai Kibaki released his proposal on how he and his Party of National Unity intend to resolve the power crisis that engulfs Kenya. According to him, the primary consideration is that any power sharing arrangement has to comply with the dictates of the Constitution.

| Zimbabwe: President Morgan Tsvangirai's statement as MDC withdraws from the presidential runoff |
|
|
|
06.25.08 |
|
| The MDC won the March 29th elections despite conditions that were far from free and fair. Our party’s message of peaceful, democratic change and rebuilding a New Zimbabwe enjoys the support of the vast majority of Zimbabweans. Our election victory confirmed this to Mugabe and since that date, he and his supporters have been waging a war against the people of Zimbabwe. |

My car had displayed a niggling problem for a while, deciding to flat-line in the most unbelievable places for no reason at all, so my mechanic, Martin (in Lagos, they make house calls) and I decided we’d trouble shoot. |

Americans and Europeans have always had the freedom to travel around the world; traveling to Haiti is no more difficult than traveling to sub-Saharan Africa, that's why I'm skeptical of the claim made by the National Academy of Science that AIDS was brought to the U.S. by a Haitian immigrant. Americans and Europeans can buy a plane ticket to anywhere they want to go but the majority of Haitians and Africans don't have that luxury.
