Zuma's presidency will be calamitous, he is supremely unsuitable for the job
Zuma's presidency will be calamitous. He is supremely unsuitable to be the president of any country, leave alone South Africa with its past tortured history and promising future. He will take South Africa down the ruinous road tin-god dictators with similar background took their countries in Africa.
The world must treat Mugabe and Zenawi on equal terms
Regimes like that Mugabe and Zenawi are vile in many aspects. Mugabe is rightly detested by the world. The atrocities he had committed have been condemned universally and are challenged daily. His suffocating grip over the country is loosening and his imminent demise proclaimed. Africa must rise to the occasion and demand that Zimbabwe holds free and fair elections. Zenawi must also be treated like Mugabe, his temporal assignments for Washington notwithstanding.
Little optimism over power-sharing deal
The power-sharing arrangement between President Kibaki and Mr Raila Odinga is a harbinger of a new dawn. The deal comes with all the attendant promises and peril. Through a litany of legislative enactments, a Government expected to be politically and ethnically inclusive will shortly be inaugurated.

The daily activities of the state in this region of Africa are literally micro-managed by either America or the EU with the governments of the countries providing a meek semblance of authority.
Kenya -- There is a silver lining to current political crisis
The December 27 General Election brought the best and the worst in Kenyans. We displayed our best in the passion we showed in coming out to vote. Our worst came when the institutions we entrusted to conduct the elections betrayed our trust and the resulting violence we unleashed.
The corrupt found a bed of roses in ODM and PNU
The shame and charade that were the party primaries have ended on the note we all feared. The exercises were characterised by petty rigging, blatant corruption, violence on a grand scale and inept management. The money and favours believed to have changed hands between members of the "politburo" of some parties and budding parliamentary candidates boggles the mind. The big losers were the Orange Democratic Movement and the Party of National Unity.
Rising stakes as race for State House draws near
President Kibaki and his rival for the presidency Mr Raila Odinga are in full throttle for a blockbuster political contest. Last week, they presented their nomination to the Electoral Commission of Kenya and released their party manifestos. They are set for their final political duel.
