US-Africa Leaders Summit: Advocates Call on President Obama and Congress To Cease Support of African Tyrants
US-AFRICA LEADERS SUMMIT: ADVOCATES CALL ON PRESIDENT OBAMA AND CONGRESS TO CEASE SUPPORT OF AFRICAN TYRANTS :: UNITED STATES
The Coalition will focus on U.S. support for strongmen in Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The people of these countries have been caught in a dictatorial death trap since the Clinton Administration that has resulted in millions dead due to wars of aggression and internal repression. The U.S. has dubbed these tyrannical strongmen, a "new breed" of "Renaissance" leaders of Africa in spite of the havoc they have wreaked on the African continent. Other heads of state from Ethiopia, Egypt and elsewhere on the continent will also be addressed during the press conference. A special focus will be placed on heads of state who are seeking to change their constitutions to remove term limits so they can remain in power in perpetuity.
Paul Rusesabagina (who performed Raul Wallenberg-type heroics during the 1994 Rwandan genocide and whose story has been captured in the movie "Hotel Rwanda") is expected to lead the appeal in calling for an end to the support the U.S. provides to these African strongmen. Other expected speakers include: Congolese human rights activist Nita Evele; genocide survivor Claude Gatebuke; and Ugandan Publisher Milton Allimadi.

THURSDAY, July 31, 2014; 2:00 PM through 4:00 PM

CODE USA: URGENT CALL TO ALL AFRICAN PATRIOTS IN THE UNITED STATES
On August 6th 2014 at 10am, Cameroonians and all African patriots in the United States are cordially invited to the State Department in WDC to boo on the US-Africa Leaders Summit of Shame.
Let draw couple comparisons to highlight the shameful face of this Summit with wrong Africans.
PRESIDENT ROBERT GABRIEL MUGABE of ZIMBABWE
90 year old and 26 years in power
He is NOT ATTENDING. He rules the country in a said severe dictatorship and autocracy.
PRESIDENT PAUL BIYA of CAMEROON
81 year old and 32 years in power
He is ATTENDING. He will shake hands with the U.S President because he has only 32 years in power and he is ranking 4th worst dictator of the world.
Recalling February 2008, he gunned down 235 of his civilians who was peacefully protesting to express their bitterness for the misery and creeping famine in the country facing the amendment of the constitution to allow this king to last forever in power where he calls himself advanced democrat, but the international Community surprisingly turned blind and dumb. What is a shame to seeing him with the US president today!
