  • we invest billions to Africa, more than China

  • pah

  • an hour long video. nice :D

  • What makes you think that the USA wont do the same explotation as China? Have you heard of Africom? Many American help organizations have been front for the CIA for years. The CIA supported Mboutu in Zaire for several years...Mboutu raped Zaire/Congo dry...Be careful of the U.S.

  • Dr. Bingu wa Mutharika is a great african leader. Bwana mwatithandiza if Amalawi. He is changing the face of the Malawian economy which i must say is a not easy however his excellencys afro-opptimism is turning the tables in malawi. Malawi has several invetsment opportunities his excellency is spearheading an economic transformation that all malawians are appreciating. Long live democracy, long live Bingu

  • Actions speaks louder than words - the English coined this saying long time ago. Give Raila enough time before you can praise him.

    Given his attitude i conclude his performance will be below that of many African Leaders, no need to mention Pres. Mbeki - He is the best President Africa ever had. Raila is just, like Pres. Mutharika said, performing the rituals to please the gods. He is still new in his position, does not even understand the solidarity created by his African peers.

  • In the game of soccer, actions matters most than talk. What has Raila done to be considered a "good African Leader"? Anyone can talk, but i think actions should be the decider. Pres. Mbeki has done his part, although not enough, must not be dismissed just like that.

    Raila is praising the likes of Cecil ....>> Like Pres Mutharika said, Raila is performing the ritual to please the "human gods"...

  • "Where we are lacking is more as a result of history than any inherent shortcomings." Totally.

  • "Klaus, I think it's the wrong question." LOL.

  • Raila Odinga is a great leader.

    African leaders don't want to discuss Zimbabwe but he does.

    Even former AU Chairman Kuffour - to him all Africas problems are tied to colonialism.

    African leaders don't want to accept that mediocrity in leadership is responsible for underdevelopment. Raila is a Pan-Africanist.

    Mbeki's ideas have failed to harness SA's rich mineral resources to develop it.

    Mbeki can't show regional leadership.
