Thanks Dave & Kwabena. The silence is strange indeed. South Africans write about 60% of the blogs in Africa (according to Afrigator numbers). Compared to other Africans, they have the best access to the Internet, good broadband connections and generally more web savvy. Yet, one even one report about the movie. Kwabena, other African blogs and media houses can be excused but not the South Africans!

I think the cartoon spiteful, insensitive and racist! Who just signed a stimulus bill? Barack Obama. By deduction Obama is being depicted as dead chimpanzee. Period. This is grossly distasteful -- and it doesn't matter if it was George Bush that signed the stimulus bill, it would be wrong still!!!

Paul, I thnk the fight is for each national government to tackle - in collaboration with international social advocacy groups. Africans in Diaspora can surely increase awareness, I doubt if their actions will directly effect changes where it matters.

The exchange is interesting. But so what? The two can have all talks, what happens the next day? Will this dialogue translate into action? If it wouldn't, then it is a waste of time and our money

Though I'm not an economist, what I know is this: we can not ignore the fact that our infrastructure is in shambles. Until we address transportation (particularly railways) and energy issues, we aren't going far.

The UN is on ground in DRC. What is missing is an organized effort from the African Union on the matter. Africans just need to learn to take ownership of the problems on the continent. I think.

There is no secret to Yar'Adua health problems. What he isn't man enough to do is quit. His epileptic mode of leadership is not doing Nigeria any good..nor his reputation. Nigeria is a tough place that needs someone on the job 24-7!
