Africa Hosts - Very Proud and Ignorant Beggars

By Steve Mukula
While other Nations of the world are busy overcoming their differences and coming together as trade blocks, African Nations are busy dismantling even the smallest of blocks which have taken many years to build; if the EAC cannot hold how will they convince the rest of Africa to unite and start exploiting their God given natural resources and trading among themselves?
53 natural wealth well endowed Nations are so busy fermenting childish quarrels, enhancing territorial differences and advancing threats of wars purely based on bloated egos of their tin god presidents as they keep their collective citizenry on perennial beggar status – What is even more painful to see,hear and witness is their citizens joining the fray to chest thump that they can do without their neighbours.
The truth is Kenya needs Tanzania and Tanzania needs Kenya and so do South Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi DRC etc, all the citizens of good will from these Countries should be telling their leaders to engage each other and form very strong economic, trade, political, social blocks and challenge the West and East in the sales of raw materials, agricultural products, export of labour etc. -
With the kind of attitude we have will we not remain economic slaves till kingdom come?

There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
