Lack of treachery control, insecurities of nations

Non-Aligned Movement, AU, Sadc and national security organisations such as the CIA, KGB and the CIO have failed to find a lasting solution.
This is mainly due to the theory of dominance practised by the West. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the United States and its allies went on overdrive mode, using Nato to dominate the world for self-interests. Ever since the demise of the bipolar system, the world increasingly became insecure.
United States, France, Britain and Germany caused more world chaos under the guise of democracy, human rights and rule of law. These nations caused more human insecurity worse than the protection of civilians they purport to enforce.
The theory of domination practised by developed countries can easily be coined the theory of war against weak nations as has happened in the Balkans, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan, just to mention a few. The developed countries manipulated the theory of intervention and used it for manslaughter in various parts of the world which is highly unethical and immoral.  
However, if the world adopts the theory of unhuism/ubuntuism, nation states may enjoy peace. The thrust of this theory is for communities to be united and for people to give punishment that bring social cohesion.
It is a theory borne out of African culture in which a visitor does not worry about food and accommodation; where an offender is punished in order for him to be socially acceptable in the community. A good example is where a murderer is made to appease by giving a woman to the offended family as payment of the murderous act. The appeasement results in the two families building a strong relationship between them. The world today has failed to be neighbourly due to the theory of dominating other nations, which is highly unethical.
In The Herald edition of July 19 2012, one writer said: “America was happy with the world chaos”. In Syria, violence continues to escalate, giving rise to world insecurity. It is now a daily eye-sore that when one views news from Russia Today, CCTV, CNN, BBC, the headlines are about violence in the Middle East, West and Central Africa and the Arab world.
It is worrying when listening to the news that one is bombarded with one-sided propaganda. For example, in Syria, the world is only told about the need for Assad’s regime to go. The US ambassador to the UN traded harsh words with the Syrian UN ambassador over the situation in Syria. Russia and China are accusing the West, particularly the United States, of arming and supporting the Syrian rebels. The US accuses Russia of selling arms to the Syrian government, which the Russians have denied, but agreed that Syria is their ally. However, the US believes the international community must be on their side regardless of their involvement of arming the Syrian rebels.
The questions that arise are: why is the US and Turkey arming the rebels? Has a rebel group become legitimate? Why is it that the US is always on the rebel and opposition side in countries like Guatemala, Venezuela, Honduras, Angola, Mozambique, Zambia, China, Russia and  Zimbabwe, just to mention a few?
In Africa and Latin America, many of the uprisings are funded by the US and the West. Their intelligence organisations are heavily involved in planning the ouster of democratically elected governments as happened in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Chile, Haiti, Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) and Ghana. The West is seen in good light of democracy and is well positioned due to its huge media machinery.
Propaganda on democracy, governance and human rights is asymmetrically beamed to every corner of the world denouncing nation states where the West would want to effect regime change. In the propaganda, the West claims to be the master of democracy and human rights. Questions that arise are: what is democratic about funding a rebel group that threatens a nation state’s peace and security?
Are the people killed by the rebels that the United States and Britain arm and fund not human beings? If they are human beings, do they deserve human rights? People of the world must ask themselves whether the West have any ethics that are not governed by their self-interests. The other scenario is where the West deliberately funds opposition parties in Africa and Latin America. When one reads into history, it is clearly written on the wall that where the West colonised, China and Russia deliberately helped those colonised states to be free from the chains of slavery.
It is again the West that enslaved the rest of the world, particularly Africa. Sadly, it is the very same West that is funding and arming rebel groups in Africa and Latin America. It is also the same West that is funding violent opposition political parties in Africa and Latin America. It sounds immoral and unethical!
People will recall the unethical practice of coups in Africa, especially in West Africa, during the post-independent era. The training and co-ordination of the perpetrators of coups was done at Sandhurst and West Point. The majority of those who were engaged in coups in Africa and Latin America had their training in Britain, France and America.
Ironically, it is these countries that were the first to recognise any junta government that ousted either a democratically elected government or replaced another junta government.
The early coups in Ghana and Zaire that removed the democratically elected governments of Kwame Nkrumah and Lumumba respectively were engineered by the Americans and the British. How then do we have fellow Africans easily manipulated by the West to think that the West is the epicentre of modernity, civilisation and democracy? Is there any civility and morality in arming and funding rebel and opposition groups in order to effect an undemocratic regime change? People of the world, for how long are we going to be devoured by the predatory West as they continue to shed tears of a lion and give smiles of a crocodile?
It is saddening and sickening to hear people of high academic profiles praising the murderous Britain and America for democracy. It is disheartening to hear politicians such as Biti, Tsvangirai, Ncube and Mutambara praising the West in Savimbi and Dhlakama fashion, wanting to get assistance, to grab state power. Africa and Latin America continued to produce such neo-liberal academics who are a threat to national security.
One wonders why African and Latin American intelligence organisations fail to put measures that prohibit traitors to operate from within. It also boggles the mind why African and Latin American governments fail to enact laws that prohibit traitors from engaging in activities that threaten peace and security.
No one in America and Europe would be spared any fresh oxygen to breathe if one engages in activities that threaten peace and security or if one demonises America and Europe while in foreign countries. And yet in Africa and Latin America, neo-liberal politicians have the temerity of calling for illegal economic sanctions, funding for terrorist activities and engaging the service of Western militaries and intelligence organisations to topple legitimate governments. 
It is time that Africa and Latin America knew that they are their own liberators. They should not expect our erstwhile colonisers to champion real democracy and empowerment of the indigenous people. It is time these two continents started to embrace the philosophy of unhuism/ubuntuism which is a theory of neighbourliness. This theory demands ethical behaviour and a sense of oneness that must exist between human beings. It is a moral theory that encourages co-existence of communities and nation states. If one is an unhuist/ubuntuist he sees no glory in calling for illegal sanctions, he sees no wisdom in engaging in violence; he commits no acts of treason and does not engage in activities that threaten peace and security.
It is hoped that the security organisations in Africa and Latin America will work hard to limit the operations of traitors. It is also hoped that developing countries will pass laws that will prohibit any politician from getting involved in treacherous work.
