MENA Region Will Change Our WORLD

After the turmoil be over and the dust settled, the world will be a different and difficult place for bad leaders and their cohorts. Not that all the problems highlighted will or can be solved, but many issues will be resolved - some by just the overthrow of dictators, others by the overhaul of the systems post-despotism. And the casualties will span the globe!

We speak of the revolution going on in the Middle East and North Africa .Call it The Arab Spring or The Arab Awakening or The MENA Movements or The MENA Massacre, something monumental is afoot! Its public face is its private pain, and its political projectiles will pierce many closets and countries in months and years. Oh, there will be socioeconomic conflagrations of varying dimensions, of shapes and colours. The grounds are already shifting!

Will the bloodshed save the adamant leaders from the more adamant masses? Never! Let the blood-bath stop. Where are world leaders?

The African Union...on Darfur

Why is the AU so helpless on its own continent? How much more misery and mystery must the Darfur story convey before there be peace for all?

What was that whole thing about "Peer Review Mechanism" flaunted by African Leaders as a veritable part of NEPAD?

The Arab League, what is their stand on Darfur and their standing in the AU? Lip service?

Is Darfur going to be a metaphor for Somalia, too?

God help Africa!
