[wanabidii] INVITE: African Achievements and Challenges: Learning from the Past but Looking Forward



Good People!!!
 

I don't know how this will help people of Kenya moving forward when generally, African leaders never get it that, negative challenges with unnecessary stage shows that are for self gratification and greed are not for unity of common good of all will never take Africa anywhere.

 

How do learning from the past improve things if unity for collective gains is not nurtured or given prominence and are not harmonized to benefit all collectively moving forward??? Africa must stop being victims of divide and rule and unite for common good of all in order to move forward. Why don't they practice what they preach when they are in power??? How do they expect to get a different answer when what they practice is not in line with public mandate??? You cannot have your cake and eat it at the same time.

 

Africa can only achieve if we all pull together joining with the Government of the day and improve policies that are fundamental and are fairly shared, and where interests of all are guaranteed and protected and Human Rights are respected. These are what people must engage and question their leaders in open fora such as these ones.

 

The Governing system for the people must provide lead guidance and deliver services to public in all areas of social, economic and political gains in a balance for sustainable Trading and in areas of mutual technical, science and cultural potentials that are necessary for progressive development and protection of the environment.

 

Staying with the basics for success are the fundamentals for Peace, Unity and Harmony where happiness is guaranteed to all and where those who struggle and make efforts to achieve their dream for good life shall never go wrong........

 

I hope African leaders will humble themselves to see African Achievements and challenges in the same light so Africa can move forward without just being empty political rhetorics that are marely for self gratification........
