Africa and the West

Post by AMAT-ALLAH »

Africa described as the 'Luminous Continent' owing to its remarkable and beautiful landscape and more notably, its incomparably cultural eclecticim, strives to safeguard and preserve its pre-eminent position in our world history.

BUT....

Why is the picture of Somalia been replaced by the affixed imagery of gaunt children and marauding gunmen? Maybe the part-reality we're aware of today. But this picture seems to instil in the minds of westerners, why?

Also ask yourselves, why does Africa evokes its western made conjoined twin Oxfam. Children at a young age are taught to believe their remaining pocket money from the weekend can save a Continent--[Yes a continent not a country]--from poverty and destitution.

This is where the West and its compatriots should be on trial....

Take the 'Somali CrisisÂ’ for example...Their support for the TFG who hold no prospect for the greater goodness of our country, are replaced over the ICU who worked for stability and security...You see here quintessentially the west dont work in alliance with our interests...but for their own.

So the question remains...

The West and Africa...is this the true Battle of Man?

Yes, its truely a battle. but this has been true historically in almost every region that the west found interest in. it only works for their peace and stability, not the natives.

what has africa or the west got to do with he hutu-courts? all the neighbours didn't like them and saw them as a threat. kenya, ethiopia, jibuti and even somaliland. why are africans so weak the west to exploit them. only the weak can be exploited. blame africa and africans first.

Aren't you from Somaliland? How can you tell us if the ICU was better then the TFG? THE TFG is the too legit to quit gov't of somalia. Whether or not you want to deal with that with the WEST AND AFRICA facade you seem to have then so be it Laughing Arrow

I don't understand why anyone could be so loyal to this fake government , seriously if a member of my own family started managing the country as bad as the TFG then I would want him gone. Laughing

That's some sense of humor you've got going there! Where exactly is the laugh? Oh, no, wait, hada I GET IT okay, ha ha!.

Laughing Wax walaan, how dare you disrespect the late, president, you ought to be ashmed of yourself.

Hey at least Siyad possessed the necessary analytical and reasoning skills unlike your dabodhilif uncle, If your uncle was half the man that J.M.S was he would have properly weighed all the choices that was given and reached the proper conclusion not to bring injir infested pigs in our country.

Actions have consequences, your xaar liver adeer is simply the most incompetent jackass to ever plague this country.

that is your answer. hear the debate between these two 17th century tribalist people. our cows have more milk than yours, our camels are the best and only my uncle is the best suitable leader for somalia.

musika,

The thing is, me and Binz can debate, discuss, talk about qabiil until the cows come come, laakin at the end of the day, we don't give a fock about qabiil and all that bullshit that comes with it. Unfortunately I can't say the same about you, I suggest you get over this hatred and cuqdad that you carry around all the time, is not healthy.

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancinet melodies
He turned to me as if to say, Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become.

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Afweyne died in exile, died a lowly death and brought shame to himself, he deserves no honor and can hardly be called a president. A Dictator is more appropriate.

The above is the nicest thing I would say about Afweyne, he is dead now and his (soon to be fossil fuel) corps is more worthy (to this earth) than when was alive.
