It is very unfortunate to hear west question African democracy, According to the west “Weaknesses in democratic governance dampen economic activity, causes civil unrest and can create fertile ground for “terrorists”. In their mind and policy, west on goal is strengthening the principles of hold of Africa as long as they have the people they want in the government. The west policy is only to create the conditions for that favors them and promotes U.S. interest and west dominance agenda’s over Africa. The cases of Kenya where they support people who killed women and children, the same people are in Gangs of five are in the Kenyan government with the wet blessing. This is what is wrong with African democracy. If you kill in the west you go to gas chamber. Unfortunately the Africans themselves have reinforced this notion. I am not a Zimbabwean and do not know her inner politics. I do respect Mugabe a man who can make unpopular call with the west and survive.
We need to talk about the evil caused to African by the west and if possible try to prosecute these crimes in Hague. There is so much evil done to African and still going on. In Kenya, when the Kikuyu Mau Mau were tying to fight to get their land back from white people, which they never got up to now, 600,000 kikuyu’s were killed. At this moment there are an ageing group of former Mau Mau insurgents who have launch a legal action in Britain accusing the army and colonial authorities of torturing or illegally killing thousands of Kikiyu’s during the rebellion for independence 50 years ago. Some also witnessed killings worse than that of Darfur. These people like in Zimbabwe were trying to get what is their own.
There are accounts where women as young as 15 were arrested for supplying the Mau Mau with food. The white officer ordered them torture, carried out by a black soldier who shoved a bottle into their vagina to force them to reveal the whereabouts of the member of the Mau Mau. In some cases there the white soldiers who would fill bottle with hot water and then pushed it into their private parts with their foot. These crimes are in records and have never been prosecuted.
The African democracy has failed since west continues to treat Africa as its colony today, with African blessing; Africa has also accepted this providence. Crimes committed to African until now has not brought for prosecution in Hague nor has the west encouraged this crime for humanity to be prosecuted. If those women and children burned in church in the Eldored, burned forest were white, the world would be crying for justice, but since they were not. The people who burned them will be in the next government with the blessing of west. This has to stop!!! The world needs to investigate those who killed in the burned forest if there is any hope for justice and democracy in Africa.
The African intellect has failed to educate the world the evil of the west against the African people now and during the colonial times which was very identical to slavery. If the white farmers took farms away from Zimbabwean like they did in Kenya, then Mugabe is right by taking the farm away from white farmers. The west evil has lead to what we see now as bad democracy in Africa. The west for years and even now has continued to support bad government and killers of women and children. These are people and government they have supported for their interest and hidden agenda. In the case of Kenya, the west supported an opposition which had supported violence and killing of women and children. These killers are in the next Kenyan government. The west knows about it and yet they continue to support them.
This is why the rule of law, good government, and the democracy while never flourishes in Africa. When Al Gore was rigged out of election, the law of land right or wrong was followed. When the opposition or the Gang of five questioned the validity of president Kibaki election, the west supported a violence way of resolving the issues. They supported the killer of children and women. Kibaki weakness was that he gave more democracy than most opposition appreciated. They, with the west support took it the street and killed people while the west watched and video taped for evening news. If this was dictators as Mugabe or Daniel arap Moi, this would not have happened. By giving more democracy in Africa good leaders fail. West wants to see turmoil in the whole of Africa. Where in whole world can you encourage killing of children and women and become a prime minister with the blessing of the west? In Africa and in this case Kenya.
