Jean Russeau wrote in Social Contract, “Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.” To free himself, Russeau suggests that man must gain security and a measure of freedom from action, in exchange for surrender of rights and property to the general will. This is not the language of compliance or cowardice but [...]

Boko Haram: The New (Black) African Al-Qaeda?
Posted in Africa, African Politics, AFRICOM, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Boko Haram, Exploitation, Geopolitics, News, Nigeria, Terrorism on January 22, 2012 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been following the news events about Nigeria’s supposedly Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram. However, something doesn’t sit right with me in the way the whole situation is being reported. Of course, western media as usual simplifies all conflicts into 2 opposing sides… in this case Muslims vs. Christians… with these Muslim extremists confirming all [...]

December is a time when writers, editors, analysts and all who make news what it is, are busy researching on what to write to wind up the year. Likewise, all media houses and outlets are busy hunting for a sound summary of the year. This is what this article is all about today. Truly, the [...]

Wrangles evidenced recently between Kenyan Judiciary and the executive over the ruling that Sudanese strong man, Omar Bashir, be apprehended shall he visit Kenya, left many analysts flabbergasted. One judge, Ncholas Ombija, made a historical ruling when ordered the Minister for Internal Security to see to it that when Bashir sets foot on Kenyan soil, [...]
“Killing and treatment of Gaddafi blow to NTC” by Nkwazi Mhango
Posted in Africa, African Politics, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, News, Nkwazi Mhango on November 5, 2011 | 8 Comments »
Although former Libya strongman Muammar Gaddaffi was almost hated by everybody except those who were closer to him, what the new regime did to display his remains for public to ridicule was unreasonable. There might be three reasons as to why Gaddafi was killed and publicly displayed. One, it is either the order came from [...]

Whenever I meet or watch some ministers in Canada driving their cars I remember home with indignation. When I look at how simple the Prime Minister of Canada is, I remember Africa with sadness. Many questions have been disturbing me since I arrive here. Why do African ministers, RCs or PCs and DCs have drivers instead of [...]
“African rulers, hypocrisy, greed and myopia” by Nkwazi Mhango
Posted in African Politics, AfroSpear, AfroSphere, Corruption, Geopolitics, Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, News, Nkwazi Mhango on September 22, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Before being booted out of power, Libyan tyrant, Muammar Gadaffi, lived a deceptive life by sleeping in the tent as symbol of simplicity and likeness with common Libyans. Before falling from grace, no common citizen had ever peeped in the mansions of his children despite being built and kept by the taxes of the common [...]
