[AfricaRealities] Re: Scottish Independence: Learning from Africa

 

Scotland Independence YES campaign  is facing unfair intimidation and lies from all corners of England-led media, politicians and businesses. This also happened in Africa when African countries were fighting for independence from Britain. The British colonialists used economic and social risks as the result of independence . These risks included withdrawal of foreign aid, military and  technical assistance.  In Africa there were no banks that were threatening to relocate as it is happening in Scotland, no expected immigration nightmare as claimed by the media, there were no jobs and supermarkets in Africa, no prospects  of losing jobs due to independence, no increase in prices of goods and services because there were no such things in Africa. There were no institutions. There were no universities.  There were no educated people to lead the countries after independence.  Scotland has all this: universities, established and solid institutions, resources, educated people, etc. African colonised countries by Britain were 1,000 time poorer than Scotland. Despite this, African countries decided to vote for independence because  independence leads to confidence, innovation and allocations of resources according to  people's needs.

Le Troisième Mandat de Louise Mushikiwabo à l'OIF : Entre Précédent et Principe Démocratique. L'Alternance à l'OIF : Pourquoi un Troisième Mandat Fragilise la Crédibilité de la Francophonie. Introduction Louise Mushikiwabo veut un troisième mandat à la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Son annonce, faite bien avant l'émergence d'autres candidats, rappelle une tactique familière en Afrique : affirmer qu'on a le soutien populaire sans jamais le prouver publiquement. La méthode est rodée. Des dirigeants africains l'utilisent depuis des décennies pour prolonger leur règne. Ils clament que "le peuple le demande" ou que "les partenaires soutiennent" cette reconduction. Aucune preuve formelle n'est nécessaire. L'affirmation devient réalité politique. Mais voilà le problème : la Francophonie prêche la démocratie, l'État de droit et l'alternance au pouvoir. Peut-elle tolérer en son sein ce qu...
