My dear Chairman of the African Union, African leaders and readers of this letter, I expect you be aware that it is our right to call you and hold you accountable for everything is going on among us Africans, similarly it is our right to present to you our suggestions and views on policy/s which you write thinking its good or the only option you have.
Since this is not the first and for sure won’t be the last letter to you I plead you not look at the messenger as itch to you, rather should whisper into your minds that yes we people on the streets are not lucky or smarts enough to lead like you but at least, we can ask you where we being lead to.
My African leaders, this year (2010) over 17 African countries are finishing fifty years of what you call independents but I call it fifty years of really dependent. Fifty years of fully adopt western languages, names cultures and rituals. These 17 nations have nothing to show beside wars, diseases, starvation and depts., very careless and corrupt leaders. Which all are calculated and engineered by the same person today you are saluting and expecting him to be your guider.
As proudly African, I found it very embarrassing and hilarious for Africans keep talking on the historic impunity of the Europeans particularly France and small Britain but yet you still depend and rely on them on our daily operations, you normally wait for the west to tell you jump and you ask how high.
You our leaders and our only hopes to be our saviours, you seems so eunuch and incapable of not only doing but even thinking of anything besides waiting the approval of your policies by the rust dynasty you claim to be fighting against.
I guess what you should do is coming out like a free man and format all spywares which are installed in your genes to render you hopeless and fruitless. You must come up with a shrewd plan for the one billion plus Africans currently living and the generations to come. My simple & humble suggestion is that we Africans need to mull and write a new world order which is going to be the blueprint for the development and future of the Africans and the land of Africa. Keep in mind that your straight forward duty should be on preserving three very vulnerable things; the African man, the African land and the African minerals.
I have to stress here that in my view, Africa and Africans are facing the most dangerous moment of their history which real threats their existence, therefore, Africans need super idea to have at least fifty percent chance of surviving. Due to the dictatorship the USA imposed on the world in the last hundred/s years, now America is being force to share the world with the EU, the new China and most probably BRIC(s).
Now all of these new and old empires are fighting each other and the blood to run their bodies to get strength it must be the African minerals, that mean the DRC Congo minerals are not any longer the perpetuate property for only the French-Belgium and the South African minerals are not there for London only, but it mean now you are going to face teams of hungry white-sharks or what I shall say white vampires.
So, I think you should be thinking on introducing to the world a brand new pan-African world order, which will ban the trading of any African mineral to any western trader/s and start working on the position of creating your own World Bank and IMF (AMF) on a very short moment not only after our raw materials ran out.
Without waiting for any authorisation from anyone in the west, you should guarantee African countries and issue them money which must be internationally recognized and you value that money whether individual currencies or one African currency for all, both economically can be done use the enormous minerals under the African soil as deposit. The world particularly Africa needs a total new system of economic structure which mulled and executed by the Africans for the Africans.
If you don’t do this but sit there and wait for your open enemy to pay your salaries, and let him be the only ones have the power to reject or approve your slave mentality plans & childish dreams, you keep the allusion of waiting for investment from Europe to Africa which will never happen in a meaningful way, you let him keep sucking your natural resources and take it to Europe and give you guns to kill each other on exchange as what is going on right now in Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and Sudan etc, your enemy gives you guns and few paper money which the values stay in his reserve Banks then goodbye Africa, your intellectualism is nothing but spywares and you are nothing than just an eunuch-bouncers.
Going through your so-called African Bank of development which in our days I see you boasting yourself a lot on what you feel is achievements; I am sorry but it is a big joke & mess. No matter that Africa have over 70% of the minerals of the world but that Bank does not cover even ten percent of the African economy and only God knows how many hundreds years it will have to take to be able to provide fifty percent of the African needs.
I remember few years ago, a British Bank “Barclays Group” had to buy share on the biggest Bank in the biggest economic country in Africa, ABSA South Africa, and Barclays spent little over 5 billion dollar to buy 60% of that bank’s stake. And right now while I am writing this letter, another tool of the colonial empire HSBC is mulling to buy 70% of NEDBANK for 6 billion dollars, so, if this is the biggest Banks in the biggest economic Africa country then we can guess what is going on the small and poor countries.
Going through all of the countless financially scams were imposed on the Africans by the west via IMF & world Bank in the last fifty years all was catastrophic failures which now are known as “Whiteman’s burden”, and I am not going to be wrong if I say it was deliberately designed for failures and crippling these countries into worse financially situations which will eventually render them hostages. Therefore NEPAD which came from G8 is nothing but the latest version and time will tell.
The current world economic system was not made for the Africans therefore no non western should expect to benefit from it in the real means. The current world economic system was made by the west for the west and for sure will remain like this the soon it never be challenge with some rational systems. These institution (UN,IMF and world Bank) was created by very shrewd politicians from the west to rebuilt their then destroyed countries after WWII, their aims and only targets were to make sure for the rebuilding and guarantee future for their countries and continuations their empires.
Africa right now is in worst situation than what France, Germany and Japan and Italy etc was after the WWII.
The current usage of the name “nationalizing” it meaning the same current system only that the locals gets some more paper money but the real Gold & Diamonds and decisions are kept in the hands of Europeans.
Therefore I am not calling for nationalising Africa on the current sense but on the proper meaning. I believe that we should not be found on the meaningless and unintelligent argument that we should be invite or include in the European party, but we should focus on organizing our own party, mulled and executed by Africans for the Africans. It won’t be our Bretton Woods only but something beyond.
This African new world order which I am calling for, should not be looked as it is there to fight anyone called himself west or east but must be looked as meaningful order from the Africans for the Africans.
And I think that you Mr Chairman of the AU, African leaders particularly South African Government have or should have the authority, and what is remained is the unconditional love, Unyielding loyalty to the dark skin nation and guts to go into action.
The Asians china, Japan, Korea etc, etc have nothing under their fetes therefore they have to depend on their minds and how much the west is going to invest in these countries but Africa is something else.
I am very against the idea of our precious stones been change to a freak, weak and few paper-power called paper money.
And For you to remain on the current weakest link position you are in, it mean you being employed by the west which owns UN, IMF and World Bank and keep feeding you and treating you like a subcontractor. you being hired to be supervisor for the destruction of your country men & women, and for the plundering the natural resources under your fetes and your duty require you to make sure that these minerals arrives safely into the west, shame on you if you sign that contract.
I am very concern that bureaucracy and competitions on who speak western languages well, and who dress the most expensive suits etc is only your focus as we witness that in most of the African parliaments.
Mr Chairman of the AU and African leaders, Please remember that you suppose be there because of our votes, remember that you should be representing us, remember that logical Europeans cannot be hold accountable and responsible for our starvations since we have you, remember that we are suffering in a unspeakable level and last remember that we have none else but you.
Thank you.
