Takeovers

What happens when we fight each other and engage in civil wars?
Some other nation will step in and say they are here to save us from killing each other.
They will first destroy our crappy infrastructure when they fly-by and sprinkle bombs on us, kill a few of us in addition to the blood we are spilling.
When we have lost enough and get tired & hungry from the in-fighting, they will step up and
spend their money rebuilding our cities.

Guess who owns the re-built city now!?!

We are watching this movie live from Libya. I hope we learn from it and resolve our own problems by reasoning with each other and not by war games.

  1. I totally agree with you. Those that come in to help have their own ulterior motives.
    Somehow, we will survive. We just got to stop all this infighting in Africa.

  3. Efua, the trend is troubling but here's hoping we recognize the past tricks and avoid falling for them over and over again.

  4. Obibini, it beats me how more people hail Nkrumah today and yet don't think a little deeper to ask "why did we get rid of him anyway?".
    It hurts that African leaders have their hands tied and cant stand up for a fellow leader of this continent.
