TONY BLAIRS DREAM FOR AFRICA
The G-8, led by Tony - "I CARE " Blair finally realized that something ought to be done for their poor starving brethren in the forgotten continent of Africa and makes Africans still believe in his fairy tales through a few uncle Toms calling themselves the AU ( African Union ) are paraded on TV to legitimize the dream project and create the appearance that the "Africa Natives" are behind the initiatives or at least are in agreement with what their slave masters are proposing. Sadly we the Africans are so mentally defeated we don't mind being sold to the West, for we believe fiercely in the doctrine of our own inferiority.
The Western and general world opinion is mobilized behind these ideas with pictures of starving kids and naive slogans like "we have to do something ". But the something proposed, has nothing to do with helping African societies organize themselves, into self sufficient and prosperous entities.
Take for example the famed debt relief programs, proclaimed by the brotherhood of Blair, Bush and Bono as what Africa needs to develop. Of the 13 nations studied by the Washington based Independent evaluation group, whom were all receivers of debt relief, 11 of them have ended up back in the debt trap. These aren't serious attempts to help oppressed of the world, its just more Politricks.
More ways of reducing Africans into sub – human societies, organized around supplying the West with all that their economies and multinational cooperation's require, no matter the amount of pain, death and human degradation is caused to them . More ways of keeping Africans locked up in an endless labyrinth of debt payments, war, disease, starvation and arrested development remain the only aims to depopulate the Continent of Africa now .
Ultimately, its just one more in long line of attempts to realise the perverse dream of creating a new America or Australia in Africa. The dream lives in the twisted minds that haunt the corridors of power, from the White house to White hall . The beginning stepping foot Mark Land springs up from South Africa now and will sweep over the whole of Africa . .
R W Johnson, former head of the Suzman foundation of South Africa clearly stated the imperialist agenda in his article of 22 May 2000 in the Daily telegraph "Sooner or later Africa must face re-colonization." He recommended a UN Mandate system as the means of accomplishing this or letting private companies go in and do the job.
The basic argument of types such as Mr RW Johnson is, crudely put, that Africans are too backward to manage their own societies and the resources which they have been blessed with. The all knowing and benevolent world community - meaning the Western world – should come in and save us primitives from our tribal, anti-private ownership, communal selves. This is racism masquerading as humanism.
NGO`s are mobilized as today's missionaries, sent to instruct us in the ways and wishes of our soon to be masters. Musicians like Bono and Bob Geldoff function to legitimize the process in the eyes of the general Western populations.
The disguise of good intentions cannot hide the truth. Empire lives and breathes, and we the Africans have been deemed worthy of only a slave existence at best, by the imperial masters of the modern world.
