AU Summit comes in handy

time to forget last year, which was bloody and ugly as, America, France, and Britain once gain lived to their callous, barbaric and gangster politics that left Libya in shreds, Sudan divided, Cote d’ivoire shaking and Zimbabwe soldiering on.
There are many issues at stake but Libya and Sudan should take centre stage as they are coming out of precarious positions that give an insight into African governance versus Americanisation of the continent.
The conflicts in both countries have something to do with the natural resources that are very important for America and its allies and, therefore, should provide lesson for all African countries and their leaders.

The three countries scenario must also be tied to what is happening in Syria because as for President Mugabe, he did nothing wrong except take land from the minority white and redistribute it to the majority blacks against the wishes of the British and the Americans, who have now tried to rally the whole world against him.
While America is fighting against the Arabisation of Africa, it is critical for the African leaders to look at the role, played by the US and its allies towards the Americanisation of the world and the outright quest for, especially Africa’s vast natural resources. Like its stance of President Mugabe of Zimbabwe, the US and its allies are determined to depose President Bashar A-Assad, President Mahommed Al Bashir of Sudan and strengthen their position in the Middle East and Africa.

African leaders must note that such regime change policy has already proved successful in Libya and the Americans would want to finish off the remaining pockets of resistance, in their different varieties and proportions. Where there is no comparison on the leadership styles of the three leaders in question except that the y have stood shoulder for shoulder with the mighty Americans and Europe, thwarting every move to dispose them off.
The next in line after Syria are those African countries which are now trying to protect their sovereignty and the right to control their mineral resources without any foreign intervention. It is therefore in Africa’s interest to protect countries doing well for their people, yet considered rogue by mighty America and her allies, because such is the prize African humanism should pay.

The chaos caused by the Arab Spring brings new threats such as the spread of Islamic extremism, a growth in terrorist activity fuelled by huge stocks of weapons left unattended in Libya, and an increased number of refugees fleeing the affected countries.

The resulting instability is already felt on the whole continent, undermining prosperity in some countries, causing hunger and suffering in others. It is in Africa’s best interest to push for a smooth transformation of Assad’s regime, taking up a similar to the BRICS countries’ position on the issue.
One must keep in mind that most opposition figures in Syria as well as Arab countries have opposed the idea of foreign intervention. They want an internal settlement but America and her allies take advantage of the scenario to intervene, with little or no invitation.

It is with such background that African leaders meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, must craft new methods to protect the continent from imminent regime change and military interventions, that spill blood on the continent and also cause chaos and mayhem.

American gangsterism should not be allowed to destabilise the continent at a time when there is serious need to use fair trade of natural resources to underpin hard won independence.
Africa should be allowed to determine its own destiny in as much as it should be allowed to try its own form of democracy, governance and accountability, without fear of reprisal from American and Europe.
So the next AU summit should actually give Africa the needed impetus to counter any plots and sub plots by America to use its military and financial sophistry to oust African leaders, who have decided to run their countries without necessarily towing

the US line of thought.

Regime change must have no place in Africa because of the loss of limp, loss of life, loss of business and loss of time. Who emulates what happened in Libya.
If the truth be told, Libya has been taken back 20 years or more by that war, Sudan has been divided, Zimbabwe remains oppressed and not allowed to sell its diamonds- all because that is what America wants.
Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni has invited the Americans to his country and he should explain to the rest of the continent the motive behind his invitation of 100 US special service soldiers to his country.

Other leaders should demand to know how Museveni is going to pay back the Americans and with what? They should demand an explanation of how this does not compromise the AU position on foreign intervention. One just hopes that the next AU summit become handy and does not remain a talk shop, as 2012 should certainly be extremely different from 2011, the year of the blood spilling. – Day.Africa.com.
