2011 and Africa

[isqarxis]

In 2011 we will see yet more elections

 

Niger's military men will hand over power, Ugandan leader Yoweri Museveni, now also known as M7 the rapper from Kampala, will do his thing in a February presidential poll and come April Goodluck Jonathan will put his own name to the test in the Nigerian elections.

 

Yahya Jammeh will lead the Gambians by the hand to the polls in September (in the hope it will become a monarchy) and Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf will tell her countryfolk that she needs another term in October to completely banish the ghosts of Charles Taylors past.

 

Joseph Kabila may want the UN mandate in the Democratic Republic Congo to expire this year so he can hold his elections in November without undue interference.

 

To this august list of 2011 political possibilities we must add a possible divorce between President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai in a country whose demise has long been predicted but always exaggerated.

 

So 2011 will give us much the same as 2010 gave us, but with our glasses full of the compliments of the season, we must raise a toast to endless hope, and pray that all these elections will not be resolved by two presidents, two centers of power and a very Ivorian situation.

Africa goormey musuqmaasuq ka gudbeysaa...?

Bal fiiri wadankaan soo socda:

 

Angola is one of the fastest growing economy in the world. The country is the sixth richest country of Africa having 93,100 dollars GDP compared on purchasing power parity. The GDP per capita of Angola is 69.708 billion dollars. Anti-corruption watchdog Transparency international rated Angola one of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world. Oil production from Angola now is china’s biggest supplier of oil.

This the decade when Africa will boom.

Angola is already light years ahead of everyone and will become a true powerhouse alongside South Africa. The key nation is the DRC, once this nation finds its footing then black Africa will be the next gold mine.

 

My bet and future is on the dark continent..

In Ivory Coast will the losing President step down or will he start civil war and become a war criminal? This is like Aideed vs Ali Mahdi in1991-1992., Someone should show them the Somali film.
