A Rare African Trait

Some afrikan presidents actually give up power!
http://allafrica.com/stories/200803311843.html

But is the desire for perpetuating power an African thing only? Look at Hillary and her hubby in action--the lying and the well-crafted racist insinuations are all calculations to wrest power and keep it in the family by any means necessary. Look at Putin, while not directly succeeding himself, will effectively retain power. This desire is powered by what the Buddhists call delusional self-grasping ignorance.

Media Suppression: A Uganda Genetic Disease since Independence

What makes Uganda leaders--from Obote 1 to Museveni's Life Presidency-- so fearful of the media? One can blame it on the imperial presidency where a man holds the power of life and death, and has the country as his personal possession.

The Uganda journalists frateny is littered with casualties. Onyango Obo of The Monitor was dispatched to Nairobi to a dubious role, making him less effective as a voice of descent in Uganda. Many ran into exile where they fizzled out. Those left behind toe a delicate line--put food on the table for their families or end up in prison. The choice is obvious.

The King of Kings Finally Bowed

You will never see any photo in which Museveni of Uganda bows to any body--usually a gesture of respect and subserviency in Africa. But, alas, he finally met the woman who is the Queen of Queens and Kings, and the picture speaks for itself.

The Importance of Acoliland

As peace comes to Acoliland after more than 20 years of LRA and Museveni's government-backed terrorism on Acoli people, it is time to step back and regroup. Mr. Akena p' Ojok, a veteran civil servant cum politician, puts the case of the importance of land to the Acoli people--land we must nurture and preserve for posterity.

http://akenap-ojokpublications.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/04/12/lok-ngom-acoli-tukupe-iye-lukaka.html

By Akena p’Ojok.
Acoliland has always been the envy of foreigners. If today’s Acoli fail to protect their land, that will be their final undoing. My Uncle use to tell me; ‘Son, without land you are a beast, and without a wife you are a stunted child!’.

Hillary’s FUD Factor

Some people had written her off. Obama was on his way to clinching Texas after his momentous 11-state winning streak—and polls were affirming it. Then Hillary went on the offensive.

First the move which seemed like a valedictorian gesture at one of the debates was anything but a calculated one to disarm Obama. Sure enough at the next debate he played Mr. Nice Guy without counter punches to Clinton’s sharp jabs to the chin.

She went on Night Talk shows. At Saturday Night she was portrayed as the victim of aggressive attacks by the media while Obama was supposedly handled with kids gloves.

She jumped at the NAFTA conversation that an Obama’s advisor had with a Canadian diplomat thereby portraying Obama negatively in Ohio.

Then came the Clintonian left hook in Texas—the call at 3 a.m. Who would you want to answer the phone at the White House to protect your lily white girl asleep in her room? Not a Nigger, of course. That was the real meaning of the TV advertisement. It had nothing to do with experience. It hit a chord at the core of White American psyche. It created Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt—the FUD factor—and it worked.

The FUD factor is an old technique sales people use where products or services have become commodities with similar attributes. How do you differentiate yourself then from the other peddler? The FUD factor is the answer if you don’t want to starve.

And the Clintons don’t want to starve their egos by losing. They will do anything. Right now they are floating the notion of Obama running as her VP. This is a mind game meant to assuage blacks so that they don’t stay away from the general election should the Clinton machine run brother Barack off the road to the White House.

So far this year I have had the Kenyan suspense which I predicted would never go to the dogs. And it has come to pass. The suspense of the end result of the American Democratic Primary is a tricky one. Can the Obama coalition hold? At crunch time, will whites circle the wagon and go for their own? One thing for sure; Obama needs to go on the offensive and redefine Hillary for who she is—a divisive, power hungry Washington insider who will not accomplish much with the Republicans.

African Vagina

African Vagina
http://www.avaruusmies.com/jokes/english/index.html

The following extracts come in response to an advert in a South African women's magazine called Femina. Back in 1985, SA Femina Magazine ran an advertisement for Nelex, a medicine for the treatment of a vaginal infection known as vaginitis. The ad prompted hundreds of letters from sufferers countrywide, most of them from women who were clearly unsure as to what exactly was wrong with them. The letters were collected by Win Kuppers, boss of the advertising agency that created the Femina article and who swears that every single one of them is genuine.

The Awere Tragedy: Is It an Example of Violence Against Women?

Uganda and Acoli, in particular, woke to news of a macabre proportion. A man went into to a house full of people sleeping. In the house was also his prospective wife—prospective because he had not completed paying the dowry and the woman’s family had withdrawn her to her father’s household. In a fit of premeditated anger the man doused the house with gasoline and set it ablaze. Eleven people were burned to death.

One can only speculate on the mental state of the man. He probably felt humiliated—in cultural context. Everywhere he looked probably he saw people regarding him as a loser—the guy who could not pay the dowry and now has to cook for himself! Many faced with similar circumstances of rejection or loss would probably drink it off, talk to friends, relatives or priest. Some would probably withdraw inward, develop ulcers and, hopefully one day, by the grace of the universe, find love again. Then there is a small percentage among us the world over who will react and lash out in manners that make us shake our heads in wonder.

This kind of extreme anger is not the monopoly of men alone. There are numerous stories of Acoli women reacting violently in loss of love. I experienced one such case not long ago—it wasn’t pretty but, luckily for now, Oceans separate us. When I told friends, they had stories of their own.

May the souls of the dead rest in peace. Rather than seeking revenge, may the living find ways of resolving future conflicts before they occur. Traditional leaders, elders, churches and schools can play a major role in instilling the norms that hold a society free from this kind of bizarre violence.
