Her work on this book began long before the political upheavals following the end of apartheid and the coming to power of the black majority in South Africa. The Ndebele from the southern Transvaal, whose art is documented here, were violently displaced and forcibly resettled in the newly created KwaNdebele homeland. During her later visits Courtney-Clarke discovered that more and more of her favorite paintings had decayed or disappeared after the family had either moved away or been forcibly resettled. The result in several cases is that her photographs are the only surviving documents of some of the most impressive of Ndebele artworks.These photographs bear witness to a people who, despite unspeakable suffering, have continued to decorate their surroundings with breathtaking brilliance and passion.

China antique Chinese during the time of Marco Polo holds our fascination, as it should. Explain a Confucian mind set that exists to this day, China remains a mystery, and much to the inside until their gunboats along the devastated west coast, taking control of Hong Kong and Shanghai by the British, the Portuguese Macao, and a difference awareness and coastal Western European influence. And to some extent, this exists for now, that China is trying to change. China studies as the Chicago main reason America has become so great, and is building a network of roads and railways to link China, as has America.

And this system shows that promise now look at some surprise to a British TV crew in the West African nation of Congo, Africa in that legendary century darkest old novels. Joseph Conrad was his hell ship to travel up the Congo River to the hellish conditions that the King of Belgium really allowed during this time of reduction in slavery of the people of the Belgian Congo owned by the King of Belgium. A lot, perhaps worst of shame by black and white in the course of a long litany of such cruelty.

Therefore, if China does not deny the spirit of this historic new agreement between the donor and recipient, with copper and cobalt essential for China. Wise use of power, and the meeting of an honest need for both parties, sharing, not enslaving.

'Corruption is one of the most formidable challenges to good governance, development and poverty reduction' in Africa, says Report 2008 of Transparency International.

It has been said that corruption in Africa is like a cancer or advanced cancer that can not be processed. Such as cancer, corruption has tragically devastated African societies and made millions of people very poor. From South Africa to Egypt the tentacles of corruption reach every where. Corruption knows no boundaries. From the offices of presidents and first Ministers for the smallest unit of government administration is corruption everywhere. According to the Africa Union (AU) about $ 148 billion stolen from the continent by its directors and officers each year. The recent Forbes' list of most corrupt nations were 9 of the first 16 countries from Africa.

In Africa, very few government officials and civil servants to perform services for free. You can not get the birth certificate or passport unless the fat palm of officials. You can not get a good education for your child unless you pay a bribe. You can not get electricity meters for your house unless you pay a bribe. Not You can get your products out of the port unless you pay bribes. Anything involving the signing of documents to the payment of incentives. In Africa you can difficult to find someone who has not paid before or bribe voluntarily or involuntarily. To get attention when you are sick you need to grease the palm hospital officials.

In Ghana, officials illegally 15 and 150 Ghana cedis for a birth certificate and a passport, respectively. Even in Ghana Officials Police openly ask drivers of buses and taxis to pay bribes before being allowed to cross the roadblocks mounted. Customs officials take all sorts of tactics to collect money from importers and exporters of goods before they are allowed to leave port.

The majority proportion of projects in Africa are carried out by contractors for corruption and collusion connive with government officials to inflate the cost of a project in order to enrich themselves. Consequently, each completed project cost three times as much and usually is always the taxpayers who bear the brunt of it. Because of corruption, project inspectors can not do their work and enable the work to be done at the expense of the people and the nation.

In Africa, it is totally unnecessary to bid for contracts, because contracts are awarded to contractors who are able to pay the largest corruption. In most countries there are no ads and offers no contracts are awarded Companies that secretly paying large sums of commission of government officials.

For example, September 17 2002 a company called Engineering Canadian Acres International was convicted by a court in Lesotho to pay $ 260,000 bribe to secure an $ 8 billion in contract dam small nation in Africa Southern Africa in Lesotho.

Acha Partner a Swiss company and Progresso an Italian company has been accused of corruption by government officials Somali Transition in order to secure contracts for the storage of highly toxic industrial waste into the waters of Somalia.

In 2002 a U.S. company Halliburton has been accused of $ 180m wire establishing the fund with the intent to use it to bribe Nigerian officials to secure a $ 10 billion gas plant liquefied contract in Nigeria. In response to claims the company fired Mr. Albert Jack Stanley. Mr. Stanley a former executive of Halliburton (KBR), has pleaded guilty to flush for orchestrating the $ 180m fund. Although Halliburton denied any knowledge of this fund, a report by the British company, then known as Jeffrey Tesler intermediation behind the corruption. These corrupt practices by Western companies seeking contracts in Africa are not uncommon.

In Africa, the contracts are awarded apart from the faithful who in turn make good financial contributions for the party in power. Because of corruption and nepotism, anyone can become an entrepreneur in Africa. In Africa, cases the state or cash are the personal property of the President / Prime Minister, his family, his cronies and his political party. In most African countries there is no separation or difference between state and party resources.

Corruption is so endemic in African societies, political parties were donors to fight with deadly force, but when they are elected nothing seems to change. When former President John Kuffour of Ghana took office he said 'there will be zero tolerance for corruption 'in his government, but his party recently lost power between the prosecution that he was unable to tame its corrupt officials.

Despite years of exports of oil, gold, diamonds, bauxite, tin, coltan, uranium, manganese, timber and many other valuable minerals on the continent continue to be classified as the poorest of the earth, because most of the revenue from these exports do not reach the people, but find its way into the bank accounts to bribe government officials, civil servants and their allies.

Oil was first discovered in Nigeria, about 50 years ago, more than $ 400 billion, are been made from his sales, but today the population continues to live in absolute poverty and the country has nothing to see or on behalf of billions of dollars that received for years. Those who have benefited from the oil are the corrupt politicians, civil servants, a shadow economy, armed bandits, army generals and the big corporations oil such as Shell, Mobil, BP and their American counterparts. As a consequence, able men and women are fighting dangerous seas just to enter Europe and groped their luck. Others brought to 419 popular scam used to deceive the people gave their money and valuables. In fact, Nigeria has consistently in the top 1% of the most corrupt nation on the planet.

Between 2005 and 2007 several state governors and their families were arrested in London by Scotlandyard on corruption and money laundering charges.

Among them are James Ibor oil rich Delta State and his wife Teresa, which was $ 35 frozen by the court in English. Mr. earns about one-Ibor thousand dollars a month, but during his eight years as governor of the State was able to acquire wealth for the amount of $ 35 and was a key element financial contribution to the campaign of the President of Nigeria. He owns a private jet and a large London house.

Another is corrupt governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, governor of oil rich state of Bayelsa who was arrested in London for money laundering charges. Mr. Alamieyeseigha broke his bail conditions and circumvented capture in the UK by dressing as a woman. When police conducted a search in his London home they found a value of millions of pounds of cash in his house.

Another governor, who was arrested in England was Joshua Dariye of Plateau State. He was arrested at a hotel in London steal money meant for the development of his state.

But these thieves have no rank compared to heavyweights such as Abacha, Mobutu, Eyadema, Lansana Conté, Obiang Nguema, Omar Bongo, Mubarak and Arap Moi.

In 1990 economic difficulties, poverty and environmental destruction forced the inhabitants Ogoniland of Nigeria to ask for the word in which the Shell, but the military regime led by Gen. Sani Abacha arrested environmentalists led by Ken Sorowiwa and their implementation. You can why Abacha killed the men of his country, instead of protecting and providing for their needs. According to data available Nigeria Advocates of the government, within the period of Abacha who became head of state, ie between 1993 and 1998 stole $ 4 billion of oil money in Nigeria and stashed in secret bank accounts in Switzerland, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Island of Jersey and Liechtenstein. In April, 2002, these countries have agreed to $ 1 billion return of the stolen money to the people of Nigeria. So far, about $ 2 billion has been returned the Government of Nigeria and the rest of the money is still sitting in bank accounts in Western countries, notably Switzerland and Great Britain.

A visit the region of the Niger delta of Nigeria shows that the majority of people particularly young people are unemployed. Years of oil spills have made the land unsuitable for any agricultural activity. Their wells and streams are polluted, and people have no access to basic necessities of life, because their leaders have enriched with money.

Every effort to obtain the government of Nigeria to develop the oil-rich areas has fallen on death ears until the youth had taken the weapons against the federal government and oil companies. They have kidnapped foreign workers for oil and called their victims before a ransom was paid. Interrupted oil production to force oil companies to move a few miles off for their safety but they were not sure. Finally, the company had to reduce their production by 25% in 2007-8. Interruption in supply of oil affected the world market forcing the price to skyrocket to $ 140 barrel during the summer of 2008.

If Abacha could steal $ 4 billion over 5 years and then you can tell how much the directors have determined that for decades was stolen. For example Gaddafi of Libya has been in power for 39 years. Omar Bongo of Gabon 31 years, Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea 28 years old, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe 28 years, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt 27 years, Paul Biya Cameroon, 26 years, Uganda Yoweri Museveni for 22 years, Omar Al Bashir in Sudan 19 years, Iddriss Derby of Chad 17 years, Yahya Jammeh of Gambia 14 years.

I think What time you got the picture and understand why the African Union says $ 148 billion leave the continent each year.

The delay Guinea Lansana Conté has ruled for 24 years from 1984 to 2008. Sometimes leaders are maintaining stability in a country could lead to economic prosperity, but this is not the case for Guinea. Although Guinea is the world's biggest exporter of bauxite, there is very little the country can show for it. Apart from bauxite, Guinea also have large deposits of gold, diamonds, iron, nickel and uranium yet poverty is so severe that the country was ranked among the top 1% of the most corrupt in Africa. In fact, according to a report of the United Nations, Guinea ranks 160th of 177 United Nations for the development of the scale.

According to documents available 70% of revenue from exports of minerals each year finds its way to the bank accounts of Lansana Conté and his cronies. Today the people of lack of portable water and electricity. Roads, railways, telecommunications, schools, hospitals are in deplorable condition serious, but the money meant for their repair sit and maintenance in Europe and America are protected by bank secrecy laws. According to Aljazeera popular and credible television news, corruption is so interwoven in Guinean society that school girls do not need to study their promotion to next class is ensured by their male teachers who solicit sex from them. According to students, those who refuse to sleep with their teachers are made to repeat a year in class. Female teachers on the other hand the demand for money be paid in exchange for higher marks.

Why do people not be poor when their livelihoods were taken away from them? Why?

On Friday 31 May 2007 the Guardian newspaper in Britain reported a scandal of corruption perpetrated by former Kenyan president Daniel arap Moi and his family. According to the Guardian a 110 page report prepared by international risk consultancy Kroll exposed Arap Moi and his family and charges of banks £ 1 billion in 28 countries, including Britain. The report went further to say that the family Shell Oil Company, secret trusts, front men and his entourage to siphon money.

In addition to money, the Moi family purchased several pounds more property in London, New York, including South Africa 10,000 hectare ranch in Australia and bank accounts containing hundreds of millions of pounds. And 'the record that Mr. Moi sons Philip and Gideon are wealth £ 384m and £ 550m respectively. While the majority of Kenyans living in areas rural areas, and living in mud / thatched houses with bamboo / raffia leaves as the cover sheet Moi family lives in a £ 4m house in Surrey and £ 2m flat in Knightsbridge. Arap Moi for 24 years was largely contributed to the endemic corruption and poverty seen in Kenya today.

As expected, the continent where the funds to develop its significance for development is stolen by its leaders and kept by the countries that praise as a civilized, cultured, loving and democratic?

In South Africa, Jacob Zuma is still struggling with it the court for his part in multi-billion arms deal in South Africa in 2001. He was forced to resign as Vice President South Africa is a clear embarrassment to the government of former ANC President Mbeki.

In 2006, the former president of Malawi Bakili Muluzi was arrested for pockets $ 12m given to his poor country by foreign governments. Once again, the former Zambian president Frederick Chiluba was arrested along with two businessmen and Aaron Chungu Faustin Kabwe and charged with 11 counts of stealing money meant for development of Zambia.

In Equatorial Guinea in the export of oil has earned the country billions of dollars, the 600,000 people who live in the country continue to live in poverty, while Teodoro Obiang Nguema and his cronies continue to siphon the oil revenues without accountability.

Gabon and Angola both oil-exporting countries are no different. In fact, the government in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon may be described as Kleptocracy government is that the thieves. In countries such as Nigeria, Egypt, Cameroon, Gambia, Sudan, Uganda, Libya, Tunisia Kleptocracy a class of people who have replaced no democracy. In these countries, very few people continue to remain in power and people have no say in how their country is governed or run. For example Gaddafi of Libya has been in power for 39 years. Omar Bongo of Gabon 31 years, Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea 28 years, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, 28 years, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, 27 years, and the list is endless.

How do you expect a person to rule for 30 years without being corrupted?

What is clear is that these unelected leaders continue to amass wealth at the expense of their countries and the poor continue to mismanage what remains of their corruption. Because most managers are former military officers or former rebels without a grasp of economics and management, are unable to make any good economic policies that result and grow their economies as a result, poverty has become a part of the people, but their leaders do not know what is poverty.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo it is estimated that the gold deposits and diamonds could only recover the country 23 billion dollars not to mention the abundance of timber and other other minerals that are found in large quantities as a Columbo-tantalum (coltan) and cassiterite (tin ore) more years of corruption, mismanagement, conflict and the participation Foreign made this resource rich nation one of the world's poorest countries.

It is often said that Western nations can not maintain their current level of life style without the Congo and most in Western society can easily go bust without Congo. The question is whether the Congo is the blood line of the west and west, is rich, because of the Congo Congo then why is it so poor?

And where are the billions of dollars from the sale of those minerals? The answer lies in the history of the nation, which is the endemic corruption, colonialism, armed conflict and engagement. Mobutu's 32 years in the kingdom, but seems to have taken a number of billions of dollars from the treasury and deposited in his Swiss bank account number. When President Kabila has asked Switzerland for the funds to be returned was that Mobutu had just $ 7.6. President Kabila frustrated and disappointed with Switzerland announcement said he had expected the Swiss to announce something like $ 1 billion or more.

But unconfirmed report indicates that the Swiss decided to not give the billions of dollars to the Government of Congo for fear that it would be stolen again by Kabila and his regime, which are also deadly corrupt. Mobutu are several palaces and villas in France and Switzerland bought with money stolen from the Congo people. In 2001, items auctioned in its Luxury home in Switzerland downloaded $ 100,000. The billions of dollars taken away from the Congo have made the country one of the poorest in Africa. In Congo today, there are no schools, hospitals, roads, telecommunications, rail, electricity and drinking water. The only means of transportation across the river Congo.

Every day Walikale in about 16 aircraft flying out of the city with loads of ore bound for Rwanda. These additional stolen minerals find their way in the western markets of minerals in London and Switzerland. The proceeds are shared by the general, political, western society of business people in Rwanda, the warlords in Congo, using the their share to acquire weapons that are used to terrorize people and to prolong the war. Watch the video below on the Congo.

Conclusion

Western governments are ready to preach good governance in Africa but are failing to preach the same message to their banks that serve as refuge to save these corrupt leaders. Western governments have forgotten that the existence of bank secrecy laws in Switzerland, the Isle of Jersey, Great Britain, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Austria, have encouraged corrupt leaders via bank money meant for their countries' development.

On behalf of Switzerland, Great Britain, France, the Isle of Jersey, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg has failed several times in this study of corruption in Africa, as I seek to determine whether most of the money stolen go. Even if these countries, as illustrated as a civil and cultured, with the heart of angels, but have failed to recognize that the maintenance of funds that have been dishonestly obtained by poor people on earth that stain the reputation that might have. In the case of Switzerland and its allies to maintain the stolen money is so pathetic that they know who are receiving stolen the money because of greed still have not done anything to stop it.

The next time you are in search of money stolen from your country ask the Swiss government and Swiss banks that have a clue on where around.

Africa is today because of the lack collusion and connivance Switzerland and other Western banks and kleptocrats who rule Africa. Corruption is widespread on the continent, because those who steal the money does not lack a place to hide.

Fight against corruption must not be left solely to the poor.

Western media depicting always Africa as underdeveloped and backward must expose the banks in their countries, which serve as shelters save. The media should put pressure on politicians in Europe and America to reform the banking secrecy laws and make it punishable to receive money from these corrupt leaders. Again, the western media must campaign vigorously for all looted money must be returned to their rightful owners in Africa. The western media should cooperate with civil society organizations to expose Western firms that pay bribes to get contracts in Africa as Acres International, Halliburton, Trafigura, Acha Partners and Progresso.

The Western countries have a duty to stop their nations to be used as a shelter to save money stolen from the African continent. The Western countries must reform their banking laws. They should return all the money Mail plundered by corrupt African leaders for African people. There must be an international coalition dedicated to tracking all stolen money on the face of the earth with Africa given priority.

African countries should establish well-funded independent monitoring of corruption in order to investigate, prosecute and punish severely corrupt officials who engage in corrupt practices. Africans must demand transparency and accountability in government. Laws must be enacted to protect in Africa The whistle blowers that run the risk of exposing the corrupt practices.

E 'to be attached to the fight against corruption that Africa can never dreamed of separation with poverty.

The Congo Wars $28.17 This book, by a lifelong authority on the Congo, makes sense of the world''s least reported and least understood major war. Since 1996 successive waves of armed conflict in the Congo have left behind at least 3 million casualties, overwhelmingly civilian. Turner throws new light on partisan and economically self-interested military interventions by Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia. And he cuts through the highly tendentious historical myths that have been used to make sense of the unfolding catastrophe both in the region and beyond. The book also indicates the changes required of the international community, neighboring African states and Congolese political leaders if this hugely resource-rich region of Central Africa is to build peace and economic security for its people.

Congo-Paris $21.06 Congo-Paris investigates the transnational trade between Central Africa and Europe by focusing on the lives of individual traders from Kinshasa and Brazzaville who operate across national frontiers and often outside the law. Challenging the boundaries of traditional anthropology, Janet MacGaffey and Remy Bazenguissa-Ganga follow complex international networks to examine the ways in which the African second economy has been extended transnationally and globally on the margins of the law. Who are these traders? What strategies do they have, not only to survive but to shine? What kinds of networks do they rely on? What implications does their trade have for the study of globalization? The personal networks of ethnicity, kinship, religion, and friendship constructed by the traders fashion a world of their own. From Johannesburg to Cairo and from Dakar to Nairobi as well as in Paris, the Congolese traders are renowned and envied. This lively book shows that it is not just the multinationals who benefit from jets and mobile phones.

Cultural antiques have always drawn the attention of collectors. Primitive statues, antique lamps and swords were bought for huge sums of money or brought from foreign countries. Each country has put its assets in museums, and presented to the public a wide range of objects beautiful, brought from different parts of the country. Some antiques were never presented to the general public, but have been kept in museum stores, hidden and well protected for their inestimable value. Some antiques were hidden because of their poor condition, which made it impossible for them to be exposed to fresh air.

Museums around the world have different collections of antique items, which represent the cultural heritage of the country. Indian, Chinese, Japanese antiques are often presented behind glass, and kept in conditions that protect them from damage. Antiques include a wide variety of objects, which vary from one country to another. For example, in Africa antiques include paintings masks and statues, which are been used as part of religious rituals. English antiques are popular for elegant and luxurious items from the end of the 17th and 18th century, as the beautiful antique watches, wall clocks and other objects. Antiques often include expensive items of gold and silver. For example, many Jews antiques include objects of silver, such as silver jewelry, silver rings and menorahs.

Antique shops on the internet he see the various elements of ancient origin, which are purchased from those who can afford it. Antiques are often sold at public auction, sometimes for very high prices, affordable only to millionaires. The oldest precious objects are kept in museums and made only for short periods of time, because of their high cultural value. Antique sites have proven to be very useful because they enable the buyer to search for specific items that he could not find its close surroundings. Buyers can explore the other side of the antiques world, and their network. The interest in antiques has always been part of on-line shopping, and antiques are more likely to continue remaining popular.

Yet again the heads of state and governments of various countries in Africa met in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and to discuss issues affecting the continent. For five years such meetings were held after each meeting and nothing happens to the problems facing the continent. There is little to show for all the millions of dollars of taxpayers' money who went to these meetings. What is the African Union has met or law in Africa, since it replaced the toothless OAU (Organization for Unity of Africa)? How effective was the African Union to address the many problems that afflict the continent? I can tell the UA people on the continent is the reason why it should be allowed to hold meetings on behalf of the people, after five years of results? Can I say the Union of African people in Africa only one what you have right in that it changed its name from OAU to AU? That all the AU has done in Africa, they deserve another waste of taxpayers' money?

Today, Somalia is a failed state, the war is still ravaging after 19 years, hundreds of thousands died, millions of people have been displaced and become refugees, and in all these years, the African Union has been meeting and talking. For what?

At this moment in the Democratic Republic of the Congo civil war is still ongoing. The unrest and instability in the country has led to millions of Congolese lives and property be destroyed. Even as I write the AU will meet to talk shop, while millions of women, children and civilians face death in the Congo. What did the African Union to stop the war and the looting of Congo's resources?

Today in Zimbabwe more than sixty thousand people are suffering from cholera. In 3000 have already died from hunger and is threatening millions of others. Nearly a year after the elections in Zimbabwe is the country still to have the execution of a government. Zimbabwe is now paralyzed. Inflation is over 2200 000%, the economy broke with 94% of the unemployed in the country and Mugabe is still in control despite the fact that he lost the election. And the so-called leaders have the audacity to meet in the name of the people to discuss issues that concern them. What are you waiting for? Have attention at all?

In Kenya, hundreds of people were killed during and after the elections and hundreds of millions of dollars of property were destroyed. One expects the African Union meets to act quickly to find a solution in the time of such crisis. But we see any response from the UA? It is not the same do nothing and wait to see approaches that we have seen? If it were not the efforts of Kofi Annan, who dedicated to solving the problem, Kenya was a Zimbabwean and African leaders would be meeting again as they have always done. Where and what is the African Union had law in Africa?

Like its predecessor, the African Union was powerless and helpless, while the genocide being committed against the people of Darfur. Million Darfurians have become refugees, while hundreds of thousands of people have been murdered, raped and tortured to death, while the AU leaders meet, year after year, drinking wine and having fun at the expense of the taxpayer. See how poorly equipped the peacekeepers sent by the African Union in Darfur are. Have been able to do anything for protect the people? I do not think so. In the words of a master, 'the leaders in Africa have sent us here to keep the peace, but there is no peace to keep '. This is the situation in Darfur. Thousands were killed and the peacekeepers have not you need to keep the peace.

Today, in Côte d'Ivoire the country is still divided in two with rebels in the north and the government of the South. The once prosperous nation has been reduced to rubble. Millions of farmers have lost their livelihoods and millions of people live in fear of their life. And what the AU has been able to do so far to stop the war and reduce insecurity in the country? There are just to know what will make the African Union.

I am also writing as there is a serious form of violence and power struggle underway in Madagascar, with the ruling and opposition parties each claiming to be in control of the island state. Already about 100 people were burned alive, and millions of dollars of property destroyed. Once again, the AU is silent and we are waiting to see what you do to stop the violence.

What can I say about the leaders currently meeting? Well a lot. First of all, how many of them can boast of state democratically elected and therefore have the mandate from their people to represent them in Addis Ababa? Second, as many governments in Africa can claim to have the legitimacy from the people and how many of them have any credibility at all? And 'the government led by Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and Omar Bongo of Gabon or Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea, or a leader Paul Biya of Cameroon in Libya Gaddafi or either directed by Yahya Jammeh of Gambia? The meeting is full of dictators, tyrants, kleptocrats and their employees who have ceased to corruption and forced their power over people. These leaders are not responsible to anyone unless themselves. The election of Yar'dua of Nigeria, Mwai Kibaki of Kenya, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Rupiah Banda of Zambia have been called into question. As expected incompetent, dictators and corrupt leaders who came to power through the door to resolving the war in the Congo or Darfur or alleviate people from poverty?

What the Union African Union was able to do about the recent blows that took place in Guinea and Mauritania? Practically nothing, except the usual barking and threats of suspension from the AU. Just wait a year or two, and the coup leaders will be presidents of their countries and take part in AU meetings and there will be none, so that this is like the majority of so-called leaders came into power. This was like Gaddafi, Omar Al Bashir, Yahya Jammeh and several other came into power, first as military dictators and then as a military leader in civilian clothes. This is why Gaddafi has been in power for 39 years, Omar Bongo of Gabon 31 years, Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea 28 years, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, 28 years, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt 27 years, Paul Biya of Cameroon, 26 years, Uganda Yoweri Museveni for 22 years, Omar Al Bashir in Sudan 19 years, 17 years Derby Iddriss of Chad, The Gambia Yahya Jammeh of 14 years and there is no one to question why they are still in power.

What are the issues African main concern has been the AU can resolve or appear to be the solution, despite years of meetings? E 'poverty, hunger and malnutrition that look like they did for the African sub-human in the eyes of many in the West? E 'endemic official corruption or the genocide in Darfur, or conflicts in Congo, Ivory Coast, Sudan, northern Uganda or dictatorship in Cameroon, Gabon, Zimbabwe, Equatorial Guinea, Libya, Egypt and Uganda? When the leaders of the African Union being put in a sound and policies that eliminate the millions of people living on $ 1 a day from these predicaments?

Once again, the African Union met the leaders, Drink wine, patting each other on the shoulder and having a good time, while millions of people already condemned to poverty by these leaders, facing hunger, disease and famine. Despite the millions of dollars of taxpayers' money that is being spent on this encounter the problems of Darfur, Congo, Ivory Coast, poverty, incompetence leadership in the continent will not change.

People in Africa are throwing a challenge to the leaders meeting in Ethiopia today to show them (the people), one, only a thing that they (the leaders) have done or law that justifies their meeting and spending of taxpayers' money.

Despite years of meeting there are still to see what result of these meetings are produced and whether the wars and instability in the Congo, Sudan, Chad, Ivory Coast, northern Uganda and Madagascar will be resolved. We are still to see if poverty is infected with viruses that so many countries, towns, cities, towns, villages, families will be worse or will be reduced. We are still to see if the $ 148 billion dollars stolen by these leaders of each year stops. We are yet to see if the tyrants and dictators will leave the scene, to allow democracy to gain root and is accountable to the people.

The Congo Wars $28.17 This book, by a lifelong authority on the Congo, makes sense of the world''s least reported and least understood major war. Since 1996 successive waves of armed conflict in the Congo have left behind at least 3 million casualties, overwhelmingly civilian. Turner throws new light on partisan and economically self-interested military interventions by Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia. And he cuts through the highly tendentious historical myths that have been used to make sense of the unfolding catastrophe both in the region and beyond. The book also indicates the changes required of the international community, neighboring African states and Congolese political leaders if this hugely resource-rich region of Central Africa is to build peace and economic security for its people.

Congo-Paris $21.06 Congo-Paris investigates the transnational trade between Central Africa and Europe by focusing on the lives of individual traders from Kinshasa and Brazzaville who operate across national frontiers and often outside the law. Challenging the boundaries of traditional anthropology, Janet MacGaffey and Remy Bazenguissa-Ganga follow complex international networks to examine the ways in which the African second economy has been extended transnationally and globally on the margins of the law. Who are these traders? What strategies do they have, not only to survive but to shine? What kinds of networks do they rely on? What implications does their trade have for the study of globalization? The personal networks of ethnicity, kinship, religion, and friendship constructed by the traders fashion a world of their own. From Johannesburg to Cairo and from Dakar to Nairobi as well as in Paris, the Congolese traders are renowned and envied. This lively book shows that it is not just the multinationals who benefit from jets and mobile phones.
