I do not hate Obama , BTW....LOL. I know what kind of political animal he truly is....a nationalist socialist by ideology and surreptitious activity. I aim to see his utter defeat.
But as far as Africa goes, I would encourage you to start a ping list, say “the Africa Ping List”. This can be done here by simply gathering the freeper names of those who wish to be pinged on any news you might wish to draw to our attention, after posting any given article.I would be your first subscriber.
I would be happy to consider contexts on both sides of any story, I do not take sides but know at least the side Obama seems to be on.Obama advized Odinga to have the Orange Party take to the streets in 2007, and thousands of Kenyans died as a result, one an Olympic athlete of world reknown, cut down by pangas.I love Kenya , Tanzania and Ethiopia, and their peoples, and have spent time in Addis Ababa, Mombassa, and Arusha.
And I want to know what you think Obama is doing.You would be doing us all a great service, which we all try to accomplish for each other on this site.
There was serious election violence in Kenya in 2007 and that violence was driven by ethnic rivalry between the Luo and other ethnic groups (Odinga) against the Kikuyu (Kibaki).
Without boring you, please understand that neither Odinga nor Kibaki are angels. There is also credible evidence that Kibaki rigged the election - so where is the outrage against Kibaki and the Kikuyu?
Anyone who grew up in Africa will tell you that tribalism is an unfortunate fact of life and there are no “innocent” tribes. Many conservatives in the States have swallowed a lot of tribal tainted nonsense simply because they think it fits their narrative on Obama. It is nonsense, and it does the conservative movement no favours.
