GOOD GOVERNANCE AFRICAN STYLE

FreeAfrica (March 6, 2004)

It is good to know that contemporary African leaders are committed to good governance – lest we forget the crimes against humanity, from Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot to Zimbabwe’s Zanu PF leader Robert Mugabe.

But what is the substance and reality of good governance African style – as defined by the actions of African leaders?

Is it not true that many African leaders claim to be guilt-free of the Mugabe human rights violations and war crimes, even though they aided and abetted such atrocities by their notorious ‘diplomatic’ black-mail against the European Union – when they insisted that they would not attend an SADC/EU Summit unless their protégé, Robert Mugabe, was treated as an Honourable Man? What manner of men, and what manner of honour is that?

Assuming that African Opposition political leaders are still out there – alive and well, and active in a manner that is well disposed to ponder such imponderable atrocious ‘good governance African style’ phenomenon, will they please stand up and be counted on the right side of African history…

Robert Mugabe’s crimes (Mugabe now 80 years old)	VS	Pol Pot’s crimes (Pol Pot lived, May 19, 1925 - April 15,1998)

Since silence means consent, and an ignominious monument to folly and atrocities in this instance; therefore, we at Free Africa invite African leaders, human rights activists, human rights enthusiasts and all men and women of good conscience to rise to the challenges of such atrocious monument to infamy.

History, and the victims of such apparent supreme betrayal of the democratic process, are watching and waiting, watching and waiting for the consciences of good men and good women to stir up the winds of change for a better day…

Please do not forget that that better day cannot come about (for the millions of victims of the likes of Pol Pot, Robert Mugabe and their friends in high places) unless your good conscience stirs up the winds of change…by supporting our Free Africa Stir-Up-the-Winds campaign for justice for the victims.
