[wanabidii] Re: Watch these: The Africa We Want.....Ruto nailed it! Kagame is good, Chairwoman Zuma, Mbeki all formidable, Ibrahim Mo, lol

Thank you Judy. It is part of the Agenda on August: The Africa We Want by the Civil Society.


God bless.
Ms. Everlyne Joe,        I totally agree that Africa's problems must find a solution in order   to urgently fix its problems to have "The Africa we all Want".......  This honest discussion is long overdue.        Both Kagame and Ruto spoke well about "The Africa We all want". This   then I believe, provides a good open public discussion in sharing to   offer opinion on way forward by both the countrymen, youth, women and   the Diaspora.        Kagame rightly put it that, it is important to know the root cause   of our problems in order to find solutions. Again, here he is so right.  It is when we diagnose the problem, we can agree how to navigate moving   forward.        This is a very interesting topic that must not be left to leaders   alone. Together, we shall find solution to our problems in Africa.        have your say people..............         Cheers !!!

Let us meet in   August.    --------------------        Paul Kagame on African responsibility (Boko Haram) #AfDBAM2014   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAPNC4YpGCQ  Published on May 20, 2014     --African Leaders Should Accept Their Failure In Solving Conflicts--    President Paul Kagame has challenged African leaders to take responsibility and   accept their failure in solving conflicts that have ravaged the continent for   decades.    The head of state was on Tuesday contributing to a panel discussion on ending   conflict in Africa at the ongoing African Development Bank's annual meeting. The   session was themed: "Solving conflicts and Peace building in Africa."    In his remarks, President Kagame said African leaders should work together and   solve their own problems without seeking help from European countries.    "I think we must take responsibility and accept our failures in dealing with   these matters," said Kagame.    Commenting on the issue of Nigerian Islamist militia Boko Haram that had been   raised by the former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, President Kagame said   there was no need for regional leaders to travel to Europe seeking for help.    "When I am watching television and I find that our leaders, who should have been   working together all along to address these problems that only affect their   countries, wait until they are invited to go to Europe to sit there and find   solutions to their problems...it's as if they are made to sit down and address   their problems," said Kagame.    "Why does anybody wait for that?" asked Kagame.    President Kagame added that such leaders seeking solutions to Africa's problems   from outsiders tarnishes the continent's image. However, Kagame did not name any   names. His comments were seen as reference to recent meeting in Paris attended   by Nigerian President and other west africa leaders on the boko haram militants.    "In fact, the image it gives is that we are not there to address these   problems...they are (African leaders) happy to sit in Paris with the President   of France and just talk about their problems," said Kagame.    "It doesn't make sense that our leaders cannot get themselves together to   address problems affecting our people," added Kagame.    President Kagame said African leaders do not need to be invited by outsiders to   go and address their domestic problems.    "African leaders, we don't need to be invited anywhere to go and address our   problems, without first inviting ourselves to come together to tell each other   the actual truth we must tell each other," he said.    President Kagame and other leaders were discussing findings of a report by panel   of experts established by the African Development Bank President, Dr. Donald   Kaberuka. The High Level Panel on Fragile States (HLPFS) chaired by Liberian   President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.    On South Sudan, President Kagame told the audience that it was the   responsibility of the country's people and leaders who took time to fight for   their independence but rather create another problem after attaining that   independence.    "This country and the people there wanted to be independent. They got   independence but that turned into a problem," said Kagame.    "You have won war being fought waged to get independence, then you have to fight   another when you have achieved independence...just fighting among themselves."    Kagame went on: "Some of these underlined root causes should and could have been   addressed by the leaders there. Whatever happened, whoever was wrong-that's not   the issue. It is still the responsibility of leaders if they can't resolve the   matters themselves, why not calling neighbours to say come and help. We have a   problem here."
