NELSON MANDERA MOMENT ARBORTED
By Kamotho Githinji
Africa Historic Moments.
Dear Presidents and excellencies we humbly present to you Pan African Raila Amollo Odinga, a father figure and a staunch social justice advocate, we the youthful Pan Africans do appeal to everyone to support his quest in achieving Pan-African vision,we emphasize the need for unity and peace across our continent. However, we also warns that the interests of former colonial powers may continue to obstruct this progress which invokes a broader struggle for true African autonomy in the modern political landscape.
Colonialism in Africa.
In May 1963, 32 Heads of independent African States met in Addis Ababa Ethiopia to sign the Charter creating Africa’s first post-independence continental institution named it, Organisation of African Unity (OAU).
The OAU was the manifestation of the pan-African vision for an Africa that was united, free and in control of its own destiny.
The African Union (AU) is a continental body consisting of the 55 member states that make up the countries of the African Continent.
Historical facts is that by the year 1600 slave trade spearheaded by British autocrats left over 12 Million African dead in the Transatlantic voyage.
The Western Powers grab for colonies was accelerated following the Berlin Conference of 1884.Where 15 countries among them the United States of America in participation of the continent.
British colonisation of over 24 countries in Africa was part of nineteenth-century Western power in expansionism which Western countries imposed political and economic control over Africa territories. This in fact continues to be propagated underneath most African Colonial states that is politically, socially and economically.
Beginning in the 1950s, African colonies began achieving independence—in 1960 alone, 17 newly independent countries emerged—and more followed, with most independent by the end of 1980.
Out of 55 In-dependent Africans countries, 24 are British colony countries, among those African countries the United Kingdom controls and influences.
How can we African in this day and moments be so blind in regards to the British Colonial interests, which is manifested with underhand dealings and fraudulent scheming by United Kingdom government.
Post Brexit: The Colonial system of England continues to indirectly control and rule it's colonies, firstly by tampering with it's democratic process such as Presidential elections where they decide who becomes their appointed preferred President.
Today is the 38th Ordinary session of the Assembly of the Head of States and Governments happening in Addis Ababa.
Funding in the African Union, each member state is obliged to pays almost USD 350,000 or not less than USD 35,000. as a contribution for the regular budget and for peace fund.
The UN and European Union are the African bloc’s biggest partners, and the EU is the largest contributor to the AU’s budget.
The process of electing the chairperson,depurty and commission is spearheaded by a (Panel of Eminent Africans ) pursuant to the African Union Assembly decision:Ext/Assembly/AU/Dec.
AUC chairperson is elected by the Assembly for a four-year term, renewable once.
Today the electoral process to be selected, are the deputy chairperson and eight commissioners, who together with the chair make up the Commission’s top leadership.
The elections for African Union chairmanship is, if there shall be only three (3) Candidates initially and neither candidate obtains the majority required after the third ballot, the candidate with fewer votes shall withdraw and the remaining candidate shall proceed to the next round.
“If the remaining candidate fails to obtain the two-thirds majority required in that round, the Chairperson shall suspend the election,” for an year, then the Depurty Chairperson shall then take over the chairmanship on interim basis until a new election process is held.
Where there is only one (1) candidate initially and he or she fails to obtain the two-thirds majority required after the third ballot the Chairperson shall suspend the election.
The deputy chairperson shall then take over the chairmanship of the commission on an interim basis until new elections are held after one year.
The underhand scheming of British to postpone the process to give the current Depurty Chairperson of African Union a Rwandese named Monique Nsanzabaganwa an economist, politician and diplomat, who has served as the vice-chairperson of the African Union Commission a one year leadership is uncalled for and should be fought tooth and nail.
Millions of Kenya 54 Million population are behind Raila Amollo Odinga "Baba" conquest, it's my humble appeal that sons and daughters of Mother Africa will reward a true Pan African for peace and prosperity.
KENYA since year 1700 when the explorer discovered Lake Magadi which produces a very valuable chemical compound known as (Trona) Lake Magadi is amoung the only two places in the world where Trona is mined this chemical compound is used to manufacture worldwide glass for vehicles,building windows, water glass,medical utensils and similarly used to give hue (colouring) to clothings especially jeans trousers world wide.
Despite this historic economic wealth plunder by United Kingdom government,today most youngers Africans are blinded and have not learnt the damage and pain anguish our forefathers underwent.
Let's analyse what each and every African country is undergoing and continues to heal from.
Kenya:
Thousands of Kenyans by as early as 1890s were conscripted to a forced labour to dig the trenches for East Africa railway line running from Mombasa to Kisumu.
First World War : Hundreds of Kenyans were forcefully constricted to fight for British and it's allies, it's estimated thousands of Kenyans perished, no compensation nor restitution ever been granted.
Second World War : Which took place between 1944 to 1945, it's estimated a million Kenyans died after another forceful conscription to fight for her queen the majesty in far off countries of Asia, similarly no restitution nor compensation has ever been achieved.
1950-1963 Kenya Mau Mau uprising led to thousands of deaths fighting against Colonial British rule.Kenya got it's in-depence in 1963 under the stewardship of Prime Minister Jomo Kenyatta whom led with an iron fist for 15 years,the President Daniel Arap Moi whom led for 24 years.
President William Ruto a Pan African took over from President Uhuru Kenyatta in the year 2022, in his first 10 months he visited over 40 countries in his zeal to unite Africa, the United Kingdom financed through cryptocurrency "GenZ" protest that led thousands of youths to storm Kenya Parliament, causing massive destruction and deaths.
The Kenya "Gen Z" protest is a copy and paste from "Hong Kong "Gen Z" Protest.Hong Kong is a city within China but a protectorate of British.
NIGERIA : Britain annexed Lagos in 1861 and established the Oil River Protectorate in 1884. British influence in the Niger area increased gradually over the 19th century, but Britain did not effectively occupy the area until 1885. Other Western powers acknowledged Britain's dominance over the area in the 1885 Berlin Conference.
GHANA: In 1896, a British military force invaded Ashanti and overthrew the native Asantehene, Prempeh I. The deposed Ashanti leader was replaced by a British resident at Kumasi. The British sphere of influence was to continue to date.
TANZANIA: During World War I, the British attempted to invade German East Africa (modern-day Tanzania), but were initially thwarted at the Battle of Tanga in November 1914, a key engagement in the East African campaign. Initial British Plans: British commanders in London planned and invade German East Africa by sailing through the Suez Canal and landing at Tanga.
SOMALIA: Establishment of the Somaliland Protectorate: In 1884, the northern part of Somalia, now known as Somaliland, became a British protectorate. Late 1990s the Somalia Government proposed to mine crude oil in its northern region , the British government spearheaded the overthrow of President Said Barre, the country got into a turmoil of gigantic proportion leaving millions of deaths and massive destruction,35 years down the lane.
The Republic of the Sudan formally attained its independence from the United Kingdom and Egypt on January 1, 1956. Ismail al-Azhari, leader of the National Unionist Party (NUP).
Years later the country through the aid of British organized a coup and the dictator Omar el Bashir took over leading the country for over 32 years leaving a trail of massive deaths to those who opposed him.The country's history is marked by periods of conflict and instability to date.
Uganda: Became a British protectorate in 1894 it's boundaries are marked by Lake Victoria on the south, the Victoria Nile River on the east, and Lake Kyoga on the north.Its history spans from pre-colonial kingdoms to a British protectorate and, finally, independence.
Milton Obote became its first prime minister. In 1967 Obote abolished all monarchs. Parliament became the constituent assembly and later all political parties were outlawed. Uganda became a one-party-state. It was against this background that Idi Amin led a disgruntled section of the army to overthrow Obote on 25th January 1971.
Ida Amin: A military leader, seized power in 1971 through the intervention of British and ruled Uganda for eight years, a period marked by human rights abuses and political repression, kicking out British and Asian from its territory.
Museveni Era: President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the current president, came to power through a coup in 1986 after a period of civil war and has been in power ever since.
East African and 11 riparian countries.In 1920s the British and American governments after the construction of Suez Canal embarked on control of River Nile by 1929 Egypt and British signed a Colonial River Nile Treaty which bars any upstream countries from utilizing and using it's waters. This colonial treaty signed by British government on behalf of all 11 countries is one reason the British Government will fight tooth and nail to stop Raila Amollo Odinga "BABA" to clinch the seat, since previously he had been a great advocate of abrogation of these colonial agreements.
MALAWI : In 1883 Britain Gradually took control of Malawi. In 1889 they formed the Shire Highlands Protectorate and in 1891 most of Malawi was formed into the British Central African Protectorate. Present-day Malawi it was renamed Nyasaland in 1907. British interest in the area arose from visits made by David Livingstone from 1858 onward during his exploration of the Zambezi area.
MADAGASCAR :1942 British Invasion of Madagascar The British forces were compelled to invade the island of Madagascar off the coast of East Africa amid fears of a Japanese invasion.
SOUTH AFRICA.
The British won the Second Boer War in 1899 to 1902 leading to the establishment of the Union of South Africa under British control in 1910.
Colonial Rule:The British Empire's influence and control over South Africa solidified, leading to a period of colonial rule and the exploitation of resources and labor till 1990s, when the Nobel Leaurate Nelson Mandela whom served a torturous 27 year jail term under the directives and influence of British government.
Until recently when the people of India decided enough is enough embarked on a massive protested by defecating outside the British Embassy in India.
