{UAH} WHY TRUMP IS RIGHT ON SOME AFRICAN LEADERS BEING HYENAS

WHY TRUMP IS RIGHT ON SOME AFRICAN LEADERS BEING HYENAS

While campaigning in Nebraska in February 2016, USA President elect was asked by a South African Journalist about the move by African governments to withdraw from the ICC. 

In his response Donald Trump stated thus:  "It is shameful for African leaders to seek exit from ICC.  In my view, these leaders want to have all the freedom to oppress their poor people without anyone asking them a question.  I think there is no shortcut to maturity and in my view, Africa should be recolonised because Africans are still under slavery.

Africans are slaves living like slaves in their own land yet they claim they are independent but can not manufacture even a matchbox. 

Look at how those African leaders change constitutions in their favor so that they can be life Presidents. 

They are all greedy and do not care about the common people. 

When I saw them gang up against the ICC yet they can't even find an amicable solution for the ongoing quandary in Burundi, I said to myself these people lack discipline and human hearts. 

They can't lead by example.  The only thing they are interested in is accumulating wealth from poor tax payers. 

Before they think of exiting from ICC, they should first restore peace in Burundi and other war tone countries rather than gathering like hyenas with the aim of finishing off the poor people".

The above statement is 100% correct.

By 1968 about 90% of African countries had gotten independence which many Africans were told by the independent nationalistic African leaders  that they had been freed from the yoke and bondage of colonialism. 

Africans jubilated in anticipation of  better living conditions under their own native leadership as opposed to the alien colonial leaders. 

By 1965 Nigeria and Ghana were richer than Indonesia and Thailand respectively. 

By 1967 Uganda was richer than South Korea while Zambia's  per capita income was much higher than that of Korea.

That prosperity of the 1960s had been put in place by the colonialists.  They built railway lines, built hydro power stations, hospitals, roads, airports, schools and introduced cash crops like cotton, tea, sugarcane, coffee, sisal, pyrethrum, etc.

The magnificent building structures that were put in place by colonialists don't collapse despite the age. 

With abundant arable land, rivers, lakes, minerals, good climate etc, the colonialists had set the stage for Africa to take off under their new leaderships.

Instead the new independent so called nationalistic leaders got drunk with power and focused on enriching themselves by outright plunder of national coffers, natural resources, perpetrating themselves into power, torturing and detaining their real or imagined political opponents. 

They failed their economies by adopting Marxist economic policies of keeping their subjects in poverty for ease of control. 

They use propaganda rhetoric like the colonialists made Africans produce what they don't consume and consume what they don't produce.

Consequently, the over 40 years of independence came to be characterised by economic ruin and political chaos. 

Some of the naturally richest countries came to be the world's poorest countries because of bad leadership, wrong economic policies and rampant corruption.

Mobutu's Congo, Denis Sassou Ngueso's Congo Brazavile, Ali Bongo's Gabon, Paul Biya's Cameroon, Dos Santos' Angola, Siadi Vare's Somalia, Museveni's Uganda, Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe, the military dictators of Nigeria, and others plunged their countries into the worst catastrophes that have left their citizens yearning for a return to the 'good old days of colonialism'.

Unequal distribution of wealth based on tribal and regionalism gave rise to the struggle for power to take the same dimensions. 

As a result, ordinary black Africans have been left to prone to hunger, poverty, diseases and general economic deprivation and with no option but to turn to prayers for devine intervention to alleviate their plight. 

Their political leaders have built armies that keep them in power by brutally suppressing their political opponents and citizens in general.

To hoodwink their citizens, they blame their failures on colonialism, imperialism, and neo-colonialism. 

They lie to their citizens that the west developed because of the resources that were stollen and continue to steal from Africa as if the Asian Tiger nations of Indonesia and Thailand were not colonized or had no natural resources.

What about the amount of aid that the west has been pumping into Africa for the last 50 years?  Is it comparable to what was allegedly stollen? 

If the west was developed by African slaves, then why couldnt the independent Africans develop Africa too or attract the descendants of the slaves to return to Africa and develop it too?

These very leaders and their leaders and their families live lavish lifestyles.  They don't only loot the national coffers but encroach on the the millions of foreign hard earned aid, loans and grants meant for development projects. 

Africans are now tired of the so called 'Liberators' who after loss of life and destruction of property only turn out to be worse than the ones that they will have ousted.

Driven by envy and racism, past independent African leaders who pretended to be fighting for the independence of other African countries like Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique and Botswana have not helped their countries. 

Yet these same countries were prospering more than the independent ones.  Apartheid was bad but it was not worse than the suppression of political dissent and economic mismanagement that is taking place in independent sub-Saharan African countries. 

Even during the white minority rule, African youths would escape from the so called free countries and sneak into South Africa for better economic opportunities. 

Since the so called gaining of freedom by South Africa in the early 1990, migrating to South Africa for a better life has been the dream of youth from the rest of black Africa in alternative to enduring the Sahara desert and Mediterranean Sea to Europe. 

While the white minority government detained and released Nelson Mandela to become President, those fellow Africans who disagreed with the post independence Africa were killed, detained or died in exile. 

President Zuma's madness under a free South Africa is a living example of what would have happened if the black nationalistic leaders had been the managers of South Africa since the early 1960s. 

The same applies to the madness in Zimbabwe not forgetting the newly born Republic Of South Sudan. 

As Bishop Desmond Tutu clearly put it in the early 1990s in Kenya that he had more freedom under Apartheid  than other Africans do in independent African countries.

By comparison, there was more freedom under the colonial administration than under the independent African leaders and that is why they were able to organise the struggle for independence with registered political parties and campaigns. 

However, immediately they gained power,  their first task was and continues to focus on narrowing the political space thus curtailing the same freedoms they enjoyed during colonial days.

Amidst all the above chaos it is the same former colonial masters, the USA, IMF, World Bank, the EU, international relief and humanitarian agencies, who come to the aid of the suffering black Africans.

Even though, these black African leaders simply look on as the wait to grab the same aid for themselves and their cronies and stash them into foreign bank accounts. 

They find pride in the number of refugees from their fellow African countries that they host as a way of attracting humanitarian aid.

They even find pride in unending peacekeeping missions also as a way of tapping into funding from the USA and EU. 

They forment these upheavals whose burden is borne by the west as African leaders claim African Solutions for African Problems as a way of blackmailing the west from their hold on power.

Those black African youth that have lost hope in their fellow African leaders are risking their lives across the scorching sun of the Sahara desert and the carnage on the Mediterranean Sea in an effort to reach the lands of their former colonial masters in Europe. 

Some of the Africans who have settled in Europe and USA either as economic immigrants or refugees are contributing tremendously to their home economies in Africa through remittances in billions of forex.

These people whom the  African leaders have decided to call them 'disporans' are under the threat of being expelled from the USA on account of being illegal immigrants. 

These same leaders are quick to brand Donald Trump a racist when in their own countries they can't tolerate even ten fellow Africans to cross the border to enter and settle in their countries.

Instead of addressing the carnage on the Mediterranean Sea, these African leaders are busy conspiring to withdraw from from the ICC. 

The ICC is the only remaining hope for the oppressed Africans to hold their leaders accountable. 

The AU and its predecessor, the OAU and other regional blocks are nothing but a syndicate to protect each other in retaining power. 

In order to blackmail their citizens, they argue that Libya was well off before the overthrow of Gadafi by Libyans with the help of the West. 

The fact is that what is happening in Libya  after the overthrow of Gaddafi is a consequence of a none exploded time bomb that was planted by Gaddafi's four decades' hold on power.

Therefore, Donald Trump is very right.
