- African Dictators - Sekou Toure: The 'Father of Coups' By : Rashid Suleiman
The Guinean dictator was a hard line African socialist and a political organiser par excellence. He was a charismatic and colourful professional politician endowed with supreme self-confidence and an indomitable spirit. He was an accomplished orator and demagogue with a common touch who could keep an audience mesmerised for hours. But he had little patience and dealt with his opponents ruthlessly. - Nkrumah: West Africa's deluded Pan-Africanist By : Rashid Suleiman
Though Nkrumah is hailed in many quarters as a genuine African hero because of his rabid anti-imperialist stand and overzealous pursuit of Pan-African ideals, a look at his record reveals he was one of the worst dictators in the continent. Even his supposedly hallowed reputation as a Pan-Africanist par excellence is marred by his thinly veiled ambition to dominate the continent and his deliberate de-stabilisation of French-speaking Africa. - ENOUGH Project Prof. Ken Menkhaus’ Report on Somalia - Part II By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Conclusions of Prof. Ken Menkhaus’ Report on Somalia - ENOUGH Project Prof. Ken Menkhaus’ Report on Somalia - Part I By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Prof. Ken Menkhaus warns the global community about the fothcoming dire consequences of global importance if the Horn of Africa conflict is left unresolved. - Indignation for the Incompetent, Bribed Mr. Ken Ohashi, and his Lies about 'Ethiopia' By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Going through this fallacious paper of Mr. Ken Ohashi’s, one understands that while in Abyssinia the humans are suffering, the figures can be happy and blissful. It’s a shame for the World Bank. - Obang Metho's Fake Christianity Unveiled - Korean funds behind him? By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Genocides will continue happening in Anuak land until the ignorant, coward and duplicitous Mr. Metho realizes that the Anuak Nation does not need – and worse, cannot have - "water, health care, education" before having freedom. Liberation comes first. The Amharas and the Tigray will be forced out of the Anuak Land at all costs – or the Anuak nation will be extinct. There is no other solution. - Macias Nguema: Ruthless and bloody dictator By : Rashid Suleiman
He makes Idi Amin Dada of Uganda, Jean-Bedel Bokassa of Central African Republic (CAR) and Ali Soilih of the Comoros look like small boys when it comes to insane dictatorship, mass murder and the destruction of a national economy. Before he was overthrown and executed in September 1979, Francisco Macias Nguema, the founding president of Equatorial Guinea (Guinea-Malabo) was easily post-independent Africa's most ruthless and bloody dictator and economic vandal. - Zimbabwe and western sanctions: Motives and implications By : Tongkeh Joseph
Zimbabwe continues to make headlines as great powers exercise diplomatic power in the Security council over the question of sanctions. This article examines the roots of the sanctions saga, its manifestations and implications. The main contention of this essay is the view that Zimbabwe's crisis is rooted in the interlocking interests of great power. this is largely a replay of Cold war politics. - Sidama Leader Kambata Xoola Castigates the Evil Face of the Amhara – Tigray Racist Tyranny By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Nowadays, in the occupied Sidama Land, the evil has its name: Shiferaw Shugute, the rejected and reviled “regional president” – the puppet of tyrant Zenawi, who pursues his policy of mass extermination and cultural genocide against the Sidama Nation. - Gross leadership failure Africa's cause of misery By : John Mulaa
African leaders have faced unprecedented scrutiny triggered by events in Zimbabwe and the coincidental African Union annual get together in Egypt. Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe, fresh from trashing the electoral process, bludgeoning his opponents and cuffing the voters, declared victory and headed for Egypt. - How rich is Kenya, really? By : Kap Kirwok
And therein lies the problem. The illusion of national riches is used as the pretext to plunder the economy. According to these people, it is okay to splash and binge away without a care as long the 'cow' continues to produce milk, never mind that the 'cow' is emaciated and barely on its feet! - Kibaki friends: Discontent increases over new alliance By : David Ochami
The exposure of a series of deals discreetly cut between Nairobi and Tripoli illustrates how close Kibaki has become to Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi. State House also started courting China, Iran and Eastern European backers following strained relations with Western allies appalled by spiraling corruption and bad governance. Under Kibaki, China and Iran's diplomatic and economic influence have risen, converse to falling relations with the West. - Somaliland? No, So-Mafi-land! By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
As long expected, the lawless entity 'Somaliland' turned out to be something between Mafia villages in Sicily, 1930 Old Chicago Town or early 19th century Far West. I guess the territory is safe for you, only if your name is something like Al Capone, Don Corleone or Owney Madden. - Shame as AU lets Mugabe off the hook By : John Mwazemba
Mugabe seemed to dare all the presidents and heads of state at the summit to ask him anything! But none of them had the nerve to put him to task. Most did not even have the moral ground to confront him — and he knew it. That is why he didn't shy away from the summit. - Of African leaders and their thirst for power By : Njogu Ndungu
Several literary writers have examined this "power syndrome." And they have few kind words for this "worship-me-disease" that mostly infects leaders in the Third World. - Somaliland – the Shame to Flush Out By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Who can possibly send the elite of a country’s youth to the Military Academy of the historical enemy of the country, except a high traitor? Who can send young Somali students to study in the Anti-Somali Center of Enmity, Revenge and Venomous Odium, except the most ashamed Somali traitor of all times, Tyrant Riyale? - 'Ethiopia' & Puntland Extradition Deal: Grave Violation of International Law By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
Take 'Ethiopia' to the International Court of Justice! - Africa has failed test in democracy By : Wilson Ugangu
From Nigeria to Zimbabwe, Kenya to the Ivory Coast and Uganda to Cameroon, the writing is on the wall. The experiment with democracy has sadly taken a dangerous nosedive. Recent political events point to a crisis of honest, committed and democratic leadership. This ironically, is in spite of the advancements in education and intellectualism. - South Africa has dismally failed people of Zimbabwe By : Donald Mogeni
Zimbabwe, once one of the healthiest economies in Africa, has been plunged into a crisis that worsens every day. Inflation stands at over 100,000 per cent, and is predicted to hit the 1.5 million per cent mark by the end of the year. - Neo-Nazi 'Ethiopian' Pseudo-diplomats: Unrepresentative Liars By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
If the Iraqi diplomats cannot be accepted at the international level as possible ‘representatives’ of Kuwait, how can we suggest that Monophysitic Amhara and Tigray Abyssinian diplomats (who constitute more than 95% of the diplomatic staff of the so-called ‘Ethiopian’ embassies, although among the country’s entire population, the Monophysitic Amhara and Tigray Abyssinians total ca. 17 – 18%) may be in a position to ‘represent’ the Muslim Afars and Ogadenis, and the Oromos? - Nunca Mas: Spanish Words for Noble Somalis and Barbaric Abyssinians By : Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
The present unfortunate development has no effect and no impact on Somalia, as the so-called interim president was consistently rejected by the emerging leader of the Somali Nation Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed. The incident – revelatory of the Abyssinian Cannibalism – has indeed very limited dimensions; in fact, it is as if an Abyssinian military slapped any average Somali, who had been coincidentally picked up to be an Abyssinian puppet. - Kenyan politics as a process of laundering thieves and murderers By : Mutuma Mathiu
Imagine for a moment that you are, heaven forbid, Al Capone, Meyer Lanskey or their local Mungiki mafia equivalent. You are making money lots of money, all of it in cash and in small bills from rackets such as enslaving women and renting them out to perverts or using children in sweat shops, or extorting money from shopkeepers by breaking their knees or matatu owners by chopping off the heads of their drivers -- To protect yourself, you 'Join Politics.'
