The fastest growing economy in the world is taking place in Africa according to the Western Establishments. Black African leaders, as would be expected, stood-up and shouted “Hallelujah” as one celebrating a dream. You have heard of it, everyone have heard or read about it, isn’t it? Assuming that those economic statistics which as usual is doctored in the “West” and is anything to reckon upon, then, we may ask: who are the beneficiaries of a suddenly bouncing economy in Africa? And supposing that assessment is an April fool, who is the loser? True is that from 2oo4 till date, more than 1.9 million Black Africans died while trekking through the Sahara, on boats in the Mediterranean, and at the fortified border-post guarded by private armed forces South of Europe, all in efforts to cross-over into assumed paradise on earth. We may ask: are these people scarred of economic boom at their habitual place of residence? Most people would say no! If so, who should be held responsible for gaming with innocent lives ― Europe? Oh no, not the Europeans but the African leaders who are responsible. But what can these poor African do? Should they hold African leaders, politicians and bureaucrats for their disinterest in the life of its citizens? In normal circumstance; “Yes,” but that can also be a dangerous proposition. Firstly: Black Africans have lost homogenous social consciousness immediately after acquiring a flag and an anthem. Secondly, and most importantly; Washington and its allies are the opinion that dictatorship breed stability and therefore partners. This is quite confusing because Black Africa has had in the past, leaders who were democrats such as: Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba, Thomas Sankara etc., but they were labelled as dictators with deadly consequence. Presently Africa has one leading democrat in Zimbabwe, by the name; Robert Mugabe. He is also labelled as a dictator by the same evaluation committee but hated. The question is: Why can’t Robert Mugabe breeds stability and loved as the others? Isn’t it double moral and standard?
