After eight years at the helm of the world’s only super power, the shoe and dog incidents beg more answers on the legacy president Bush is leaving behind.Put into perspective, a shoe is hollow and empty, ready to collect any form of dirt the wearer steps on. Bush's foreign policies over the last eight years have failed in many parts of the world - questioning the thought and reasoning behind his actions during his reign as president. For instance, the 2003 Bush led war in Iraq that saw a rise in insurgency and global terrorism is seen as a huge mistake made by his administration. Such mistakes created by thoughtless actions can only compared to an empty and hollow object such as a shoe. Bush's farewell visit to Iraqi was met with the same mettle. Muntazer al Zaidi, a reporter with the Cairo-based al-Baghdadia television network, was courageous enough to hurl two shoes, one after the other and an abuse at the president during a press conference that was also attended by Iraqi’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. "This is a gift from the Iraqis; this is the farewell kiss, you dog!" hurled Zaidi before he was restrained by security agents.................. Read More

It's President OBAMA!When historians look back at the 2008 presidential landslide, they won't focus on the fact that Barack Obama ran a smart and steady campaign. They won't focus on William Ayers or Joe the Plumber or socialism or racism. They're going to remember that the two-term Republican President had 20% approval ratings, that the economy was in meltdown, and that Americans didn't want another Republican President ...Read More

If Thursday's US vice presidential debate is anyway to measure Joe Biden and Sarah Palins's competence, then it clearly missed the mark. The standards were at an all time low given that all they had to do was to avoid making serious blunders. It was acting par excellence. We know Joe Biden as a barrel of gaffes, but on Thursday all he had to do was keep the lid tightly sealed lest he starts spinning another one of his many "tales" that portray him as a loose cannon. On the other hand, Sarah Palin's job was easy - keep to the script prepared by the McCain team but throw in one or two "Joe six packs" while portraying the image of a hockey mom. She succeeded in being gaffe free but was short on substance. (READ THE TRANSCRIPT HERE)

In an exclusive ABC news Interview conducted by "World News" anchor Charlie Gibson, Sarah Palin didn't seem to understand important issues especially those relating to national security. ABC's Charlie Gibson was very specific When he asked the republican Vice Presidential nominee to elaborate on the claims made by John McCain that she had sufficient credentials to handle national security because she "commanded the Alaskan National Guard". She evaded that question and instead yelled what appeared to be a crammed statement crafted by the McCain team. ".....I worked as chairman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission....." An answer to which Charlie reminded her that national security is a whole lot more than energy. She paused for a while looking very perplexed then said "......energy is a foundation of national security" A rookie she seemed but had perfect recall ability. She said word for word what the McCain team had written down for her to cram in anticipation for the interview. Her ignorance on crucial international and local issues was exposed throughout the interview.... CLICK HERE TO READ THE INTERVIEW

It is a known fact that John McCain is hanging on to dear life. His age is hovering dangerously close to the 73.6 years life expectancy average. We also know that old age marks the end of the human life cycle and brings with it both blessings and curses. Apart from wrinkles and change of hair color, McCain displays symptoms of ......READ MORE

As expected, John McCain lived up to his billing as a war monger during his acceptance speech at the RNC. He called on Americans from all walks of life to continue the Bush administration doctrine to stand up and fight. "I'm not running for president because I think I'm blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need. I know how the world works. I know the good and the evil in it." he said "And I've found just the right partner to help me shake up Washington, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. I'm not in the habit of breaking promises to my country and neither is Governor Palin. We've got a record of doing just that, and the strength, experience, judgment and backbone to keep our word to you. We believe in a strong defense." he added "I liked to bend a few rules, and pick a few fights for the fun of it. But I did it for my own pleasure; my own pride. Now I fight to restore the pride and principles of our party." Fight with me. Fight with me. Stand up to defend our country from its enemies. Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We're Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history. And I will fight.........for as long as I draw breath, so help me God.......

The U.S. practices selective proliferation with India , and selective sovereignty with those it chooses (today Pakistan , tomorrow someone other than Pakistan ), while at the same time violating the sovereignty of other states- depending on its whim at the time. If he becomes the next US president (God Forbid), John McCain has vowed to stay put in Iraq to bring more misery to the Iraqis . On the other hand, the Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama has elaborated a pull out plan but says he will send more US soldiers into Afghanistan. The extension of the war on terror by the U.S. is bad for a number of reasons: the perspective of the international Muslim community; the fact that a military solution has not worked thus far, so why keep kicking a dead horse ; the delicate balance of power in the immediate theatre and in the broader region; the likely negative reaction of other states; and last but not least, its potential impact on the price and availability of oil.

He lacked charisma, wit or style—the sort of qualities that propel populists to high office in much of Africa. At rallies even his own supporters were fast bored by the former lawyer’s monotone drawl. His ill-health and slurred speech, the results of a car crash, led to nasty jibes about his mental capacity. When he narrowly won his first, disputed, presidential election in 2001, opponents dubbed him “the cabbage”, deriding him as a stooge for others more powerful. READ MORE

Jesus’ greatness was obvious to all those who saw and heard him. But, whereas most great people simply fade into history books, Jesus of Nazareth is still the focus of numerous books and media controversy. And much of that controversy revolves around the radical claims Jesus made about himself. As an unheralded carpenter from an obscure Galilean village in Israel, Jesus made claims that, if true, have profound implications on our lives. According to Jesus, you and I are special, part of a grand cosmic scheme, with him as the center of it all. READ MORE

A New Yorker cover illustration, showing Barack Obama dressed as a Muslim fist-bumping his gun-toting wife, [SEE CARTOON] fell a foul of the humour police Monday. To some, it was satire. To others, it was aid and comfort to the malice mongers who hide under the rocks of American politics. In the end, it was both. Like a practical joke, satire can be hysterically funny without a shared catharsis, but that’s often a cruel form of humour. To be effective — if by effective one means a teachable moment, a transformative bump forward in self-awareness — the humour must be widely appreciated....READ MORE

A Libyan embassy official, Mr Ahmed Mabrouk, said the mission was not involved in the transaction, adding that the matter was purely between investors from his country and the Central Bank of Kenya.

He has the tyrant’s delusion that “only God”, as he puts it, can displace him.

Social Entrepreneurship: Tobias Sturmer, Artistic Director for Empowerment Works: "As part of our commitment to highlight social entrepreneurship in Africa, the Cheetah Index brings you this interview with Tobias Sturmer-Artistic Director of Empowerment Works Music. Before going into the interview here is an excerpt from Empowerment Works that describes Tobias's background: 'Tobias Sturmer is an ethnomusicologist, producer, social entrepreneur, musician, composer and educator living in London, UK and Cologne, Germany. Originally from Germany, he has lived in Dominican Republic, USA, Senegal and Venezuela, studying music and culture, teaching and performing. Since arriving in London in 1998, he has acquired an MA in Ethnomusicology at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London University. He performs professionally on the London Jazz, Latin and African music scene as well as on the contemporary dance scene. T.S. has been running a non-profit artist support scheme in Senegal and Uganda since 2002. The aim of his work has been to 1) encourage cultural and economic development of African communities by providing African musicians with tools for self-reliance, and 2) to document and to enhance the cultural heritage of musical traditions in Africa." 1.How were you able to make the connection between traditional African music and economic empowerment? Empowerment Works have been involved in a wide range of programs that aim to empower people in Africa; we are running a large number of projects there. My contribution is being the artistic director of our music department, called EW Music. So my personal angle to development work in Africa is coming from a cultural point of view, rather than an economic one, even though the two are obviously linked in the idea of empowering others. Basically I think that if you strengthen cultural values, identity and inspiration you strengthen everything else. To understand and to evaluate the work EW Music is doing one has to look at what music means in these particular communities where we are present: The Diola people who live in the Casamance region of Senegal are culturally marginalized as well as they are geographically cut off from the rest of the country. The music scene in Senegal is almost entirely centered around Dakar and even there, one can't buy Diola music . All the musicians we record would otherwise never have a chance of being recorded within Senegal. They are locally performing musicians who don’t have the means to travel to a studio and also, they have no recording experience.
There is a connection between music, culture and economic development because one of the main problems in Casamance is that the young people do not want to stay in the villages, so they leave for the big cities. So we try to contribute on a cultural basis to these villages by recording their musicians for free, as well as making and designing the covers of the cassettes for them as the cassette is still the main medium for music. Our approach towards empowerment means that we don't do the manufacturing and distribution for the artists, they must do it themselves; we simply facilitate the master. Also, we don’t have the capacity to manufacturer 100 copies or more for each of the many artists who work with us. On the whole, this is a young project and it still requires more funding. Right now, we are looking for funding partners because although we now have produced our first compilation CD La Musique Diola Volume 1, we still need the funds to present this inspiring project idea to the world…. and the music to the radio stations in Senegal. 2.Do you have plans to take this fair market project to other parts of Africa or will you continue to focus upon the Casamance region of Senegal and Luwero, Uganda? We will absolutely go to other regions. Casamance is close to my heart since I lived there for one year. But this project can be taken everywhere. Next stop is going to be in Ghana. I will be recording artists in Ghana and take our London based Hi Life Band Yaaba Funk to Ghana to collaborate and learn from local musicians. We will make the resulting music available in the West and have a good part of the proceeds go to projects supporting those very artists. We also have good contacts with Eritrea, and we are looking to do a musical festival in Burundi ( the Great Lakes Project) to help put communication back on track between ethnic groups who were on opposite sides during the genocide that took place in 1993. In the run up to the festival I have the capacity to produce about 12 unsigned bands, who would then have their CD to sell at the festival. This is taking into account our current budgetary constraints. We aspire to bring out another compilation CD featuring all 12 bands and because of the effect that the genocide had on women of the Great Lakes Region we are also planning another compilation dedicated to women and children issues. Right now we are in the planning stages of this very ambitious project." Of course, I love your comments. But, if you can't comment at this particular time- but would like to let us know that you were here; please sign and View my guestbook

The rising cost of food, Africa's energy deficiency and its projected failure to meet the Millennium Development Goals has forced a deeper conclusion that Africa has a serious leadership deficiency. Only 4% of national budgets are currently spent on agriculture, and investment is hampered by precolonial land rights that still prevail in most of sub-Saharan Africa. Meanwhile the cost of fertilizer has risen even more dramatically than the cost of fuel, leaving farmers facing a triple whammy: oil- and food-price rises.. Read More
