[SavvyNetMusics]

I think ,Niall Fitzgerald is not deserve to invilve in World Rconomic Forum ,due to

his tracl record and performance worst. ,as well as the failed chairman at Reuters.

Further more he has legacy poor corporate governance..

[SavvyNetMusics]

World Economic Forun doesn"t mean anything,just lip service.

What does the moderator mean by that 'any one who doesn't turn of his/her mobile phone will be given a 12 month holiday in Kivu Province"? That kind of a statement, be it a joke or not is unfair and has a negative connotation to it about Kivu province.

[jjokonda]

@bumablaise09

That is one of the most ridiculous statement I haven't heard in ages. What this man knows about Kivu? You and your acolytes such as Kagame to name only one who have been destroying our mother land. Are trying to say if your cellulars phones are not turned off you are going to send them to dig for coltan for the sake of the west? Keep supporting the killer, your judgment is very near!

[kokomb]

kagame it is shame if you can be praised that you are doing well in your country rwanda which is now singapour of africa no let us be serious by supporting wars by looting d.r. congo!

[yunaas101]

my freind there is much to be done than that

[Igikoko]

How could you say something like that, it is not a responsible comment to say. Racist.

They killed off the white farmers that grew the crops that fed them. The Africans are too stupid and lazy to run the farms themselves so the UN feeds the animals.

We should let nature run its course in Africa and not interfere. The ones with morals, birth control and the ability to feed themselves will survive and the rest will die. It is called survival of the fittest, nature's law.

[REE072]

if the brothers did kill off the white farmers, it had to be in self defense. because the whites started the whole mess in the beginning with killing africans on their mind. so that was a stupid statement and i know your a white person full of hate!

[Pmashami]

shouldn't you be watching your white people videos?? why are you hear anyways...oh i forgot to experience some humanity. Whites are not human. I heard they don't have a pulse unless they are hating

[equationoracle]

why is there a WHITE MAN in the middle orchestrating?

Ha... Reminds me of the Freemason Temple in san francisco- They have a mural on the wall with a white man in the center (silloette) of dark peoples on his left and his right, providing white man with goods. Part of the plan I'm certain. Wanna kill me cause i know?

[equationoracle]

kofi anon is working for the wrong team. His consciousness and creative intelligence is seriously lacking. Why on earth are we pursuing a democratic capitalistic idea for Africa? Do we want Africa to end up like America or Europe? In a time such as this, the approach they take is like making it mandatory for everyone to drive gasoline cars when their are other alternatives available. We need to allow Africa to develop a new paradigm of social consciousness and behavior instead of consumption...

[tabithadee]

it alll started when black slavery started it destroyed black people

[africaincorp]

Forgive,forgive

It was also in DR Congo that Mr Kagame's relations with former close friend and comrade in arms, President Museveni of Uganda, turned sour.

Their two armies clashed in Kisangani during 1999 and 2000 - competing for the greatest share of spoils and influence in the war ravaged region.

Relations between the two strongmen are still strained with both countries supporting rival groups in the DR Congo - despite peace agreements.

Paul Kagame has a profound outlook...

[8NP4iN]

gahera... there is democracy in africa... there some cases of democracy.

Ghana, SA, Mozambique, Kenya, i can go on...

[telecomo0]

Although Africa does not interest us so much, but within 100 years, its going to be hot spot place to be in... Wondering why?

1.One of the most green n nature friendly continent.

2.Its cut off from the rest of world, thats make it almost perfectly insulated to world finance(if slumps to zero) n world war III(if happens).

Africa must reorganize themselves, have more respect for their neighbors, help each other for steady n regulated development. Peace, regional cooperation is key to thr success.

[ITALIANNSTALLION]

Poor Africa :( God bless mother Africa.

[killerMouse007]

Africa is the richest continet on planet earth, it's the poor ,corrupt , greed ,uneducated , minds of this leaders!

[greeneconomy21]

I am very impressed by the Kenyan Prime Minister, Raila Odinga. His approach and analysis of issues is quite reassuring.

[gahera249]

What Democracy are they talking about? Can some body tell me where the real democracy is in Africa? In the heart of innocent Oromo people you will find truth, modesty, purity and humanity as their inherent qualities. When the day comes there will be no corruption, greed, looting, and dishonesty. The OROMO people know there are limitations to power which is real democracy. Their day is approaching and Colonial Africa and Oromia will be free and poverty in every part of Africa will be seized.

[desirejoseph26]

Democracy is not a concept that is adaptable in Africa, Africa has to have its own Model of Governance.

[Abdikarimelmi]

@desirejoseph26 i love for saying that

[kevinfromkenya]

This whole panel is a sham. It's serves just to merely entertain the assembled gliteratti instead of solving problems on the ground.
