[afrocarpus] Four more ways the CIA has meddled in Africa

Four more ways the CIA has meddled in Africa

The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has a long history of involvement in African affairs, so Sunday's reports that the 1962 arrest of Nelson Mandela came following a CIA tip-off don't come as a huge surprise.

Most incidents came during the Cold War, when the US and the Soviet Union battled for influence across the continent.

CIA covert operations are by their very nature hard to prove definitively. But research into the agency's work, as well as revelations by former CIA employees, has thrown up several cases where the agency tried to influence events.

Here are four examples:

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.

[afrocarpus] How Rwanda is like North Korea ?

How Rwanda is like North Korea ?

1) Kagame, the President of Rwanda is a supreme leader. He controls everything and everyone in Rwanda

2) The press and broadcasters - all of them are under direct Kagame's control. None of them can report different views than government views.

3) If you talk about the genocide against Tutsi, you are a best friend of Kagame.

4) If you say that even Hutus were killed in the genocide, you are denying or minimising the genocide of Tutsi. You become an enemy of Kagame.

5) You must not talk about the ethnic makeup of Rwandan people. But you are very welcome to talk loudly and only about the genocide of Tutsi.

6) If you praise Kagame about his personal economic and development achievements for the country, you are his best friend.

7) You are an enemy of Kagame if you report about Rwandan people's poverty, economic hardship and famines.

8) You are a friend of Kagame if you discuss with him about Africa as a whole, taken as one country.
