THE DESTRUCTION OF AFRICAN FUTURE GENERATION BY THEIR OWN BRIBE HUNGRY GOVERNMENTS

From: Lucia Akech

When a Government is dominated by a group of corrupt, bribe hungry and secretive elites with the army, police, and security forces which only take orders from these elites against its own citizens who are not represented at the tables where the bribe deals are cut, strange things do happen.

The 21st Century Scramble for Africa in which 0.01% of bribes prone Africapowerful Elites are only there to commit brutal acts against the 99.9% of their own citizens is a very scary phenomenon indeed. These elites are being armed by the trade and natural resources hungry Chinese, European and other western governments. These home guards have no mercy for the people they are supposed to protect or defend.

African elites' bribe investments in foreign lands and profits these investments generate provide wealth, jobs, and healthcare and retirement benefits for the people where these investments are located. When these elites get sick, they hop onto planes to get the best treatment money can buy abroad where their bribes generated properties and well trained doctors are located.

If these elites were sensible and patriotic enough to develop balanced trades with their bribes providers, investments in local healthcare, agriculture, education, infrastructures, and housing, water and sewage treatments can be realized by citizens and families would find employment. Good hospitals with well trained doctors could be built so that the need to fly abroad for treatment would be unnecessary.

Instead, you find these unpatriotic scam bags are always at the throats of the ordinary citizens. The institutes of higher learning where tomorrow's young leaders can be nurtured have become the suppressive battle grounds for CID and Special Branch because the young people have to be under their watchful control. Elected representatives chosen by the people cannot voice the honest concerns of the people they represent because any attempt to do so will bring them to a police station for questioning. They may even disappear permanently!

Governments are being run by people are who are 70 years or older. "Joe, the regular citizen between the ages of 45-50 and have school aged children" is forced to retire because the World Bank and IMF loan demands must be met. There is no account given as to where or how these loans from World Bank and IMF are used. Nobody, other than the elites, knows who the beneficiaries are.

My mother is a healthy 75 years old. Her long term memory is still intact. I do not think this lady, (I love you Mom), would make a coherent international business deal with a slick, well educated and manipulative Chinese or western young stud looking for a business deal in Africa. Why are the African older generation allowed to make policies affecting younger African generation with foreign deal makers who are younger than their great grand children? Aren't these old guards and those working with them behind the scene aware that they are driving African young people to economic extinction? Come on!!!!
