DEALING WITH DARFUR

The case of Darfur is one of the most worst stories of human history. It’s another good example of how, as human beings, we can choose to fail and indeed succeed. Many says the war on terrorism is perhaps the most dangerous thing of the century because it threatens entire college of humanism, democracy,human rights and dignity. The way the international community have and still handles the Darfur issue is a good proof of how priorities have changed lately.What we don’t understand is that by neglecting cases like Darfur we are not only doing a massive injustice to humanity but also continue the cycle of terrorism. A lot has been debated about Darfur, fingers have been pointed, and yet no concrete and workable action has been taken. Instead, the international community has avoided dealing with the issue at hand by giving naming adventure of situations to ease the tension may be. They don’t want to call it a genocide, they will feel guilty.Its not a civil war, not even in Iraq. They are not the insurgents,what the hell!

Anyway on May 24th 2007, Reuters will be hosting another big debate, with distinguished panelists on the same subject of Darfur. You can join the debate, you can ask questions and above all know deeper of what international community thinks and plans to do.However, at the end of the day I still would like to see the african leaders taking action for the continental peace and development. Aren’t we heading to G8 summit again as I warned two years ago with the same objectives, ready for promises?Come on.

IN THE LOVE WITH POSITIVE MUSIC

Greetings,
Two or three forms of art usually stand out in my mind when I think of how to bestly explain anything so hard to be understood by many. Music is one of them. Now I know some music/lyrics could carry a very negative meaning, racial slurs, violence against women, championing the acts of evil etc.I am not talking about such music. I am talking about the music that is pure and nothing but positive even if it reminds us of a dark history and a long way that is still a man’s duty to walk it over. Below are the lyrics of the song titled Mama Africa by a Senegalese based in the US called Akon. If you love the continent, you will definetely love these lyrics and above all the video. Have fun and think no negative, you know better than that!
