Mr. Bush, Your Legacy is Calling
Filed under: Africa ~ US Elections
The blog of attorney Robert Amsterdam, one of the lawyers fighting to free Mikhail Khodorkovsky from the Kremlin's railroad job, is a leader in reporting on developments in the energy sector, where Amsterdam has considerable professional expertise.
In a recent post, one of his contributors, Tom Nicholls, explains how ExxonMobil is poised to bring a huge new supply of oil onto the world market by means of an exploration project off the coast of Angola, the sixth-largest supplier of crude to the U.S. He writes: "The 0.6 billion barrel oil project -- which has the capacity to produce 200,000 barrels of oil a day -- is a milestone for the US supermajor, the operator, and for the country." With this production, Angola will run up against its OPEC-imposed production cap, but a field operated by BP has the potential to bring another 200,000 barrels on line later this year. Within ten years, Angola will have the capacity to produce 2.7 million barrels per day, 800,000 barrels above its current cap.
If Angola's cap isn't increased, then there will be a dramatic disincentive for the oil majors to develop fields like these, and hence to increase world production and reduce prices. American action against Iraq should have secured a major flow of oil, yet we have seen prices skyrocket. Meanwhile, our government seems to be ignoring the need to confront OPEC over issues like Angola. President Bush recently approached the Saudis in this regard, but apparently has little to show for his efforts.
It's presidential election season. Have you heard any candidates talking about the means by which we can increase the world supply of oil and hence lower prices? If not, isn't it time to start demanding it?

redditAll Hell Breaks Loose in Kenya
Filed under: Africa
Mobs are running wild in the streets of Kenya. The New York Times reports: "On Saturday, hundreds of men prowled a section of the city with six-foot iron bars, poisoned swords, clubs, knives and crude circumcision tools. Boys carried gladiator-style shields and women strutted around with sharpened sticks. The police were nowhere to be found." AFP notes: "Around 800 people have been killed and some 260,000 others displaced across the country since the disputed poll on December 27 touched off a wave of deadly rioting and ethnic killings."
Once again the United Nations has proven itself utterly impotent if not counterproductive as its former chief Kofi Annan (shown above meeting with the leaders of the two opposing camps) flails helplessly with a cadre of African leaders to restore order. Annan stated that on touring the country he witnessed "gross and systematic human rights abuses" and then babbled nonsensically: "Impunity can not be allowed to stand." He refused to stay in the country long-term to work on the problem, and things only got worse after the symbolic meeting he arranged between the two sides.
He's completely useless, as is the UN. Time for a new paradigm?

Filed under: Africa
Things are getting ugly in Kenya. One minute an election, the next minute bedlam and bloodshed. Some are blaming the crisis on the country's period of colonial exploitation, while others point to tribalism (which dominated the voting). It's clear that the U.S. will be crucial to resolving the matter and has been outspoken in challenging the violence, but tangible policy actions seem absent as in so many other cases. Can the U.N.'s Kofi Annan play any useful role? We'd like to hear thoughts from readers on these thorny questions.
What are we to make of it in a wider context?
Two things, I think.
First, we should be disturbed at the manner in which events of this kind go in one ear and out the other. A little while ago we saw Burma go up in flames, now it seems we've forgotten about it. Then there was the utter sham of the Russian parliamentary elections, and Russia's provocation of tumult in Georgia. The next time you wonder how things ever got so far gone with Nazi Germany, just look in the mirror. What are we doing to prevent these conflagrations from spinning out of control? Must we always wait until the absolute crisis?
Then, we should be proud of the democracies that flourish. Just look at Georgia! Despite the demonic efforts of Russia to annex Georgia as a satellite, including even gross military incursions, Georgia simply called an election to settle the question of what the people wanted. Unlike Russia, Georgia invited international observers by the score to watch it happen, and they gave their unqualified stamp of approval to the civilized, peaceful proceedings. Georgia is a model for the whole world to admire and emulate; Russia is a barbaric atrocity, a boil on the buttocks of the world that must be lanced.
We should also be deeply proud -- indeed, awed -- by our own ability here in America to carry out election after election over the course of two centuries, repeatedly transferring power back and forth between rivals without tumult or bloodshed -- even during the course of an active civil war. The next time you hear anyone say American doesn't have the credentials to lecture the world on democracy, tell them to take a flying leap into Kenya, or Russia.
To paraphrase Robert Frost: "These woods are lovely, dark and deep . . . but we have promises to keep . . . and miles to go before we sleep . . . and miles to go before we sleep."
Note: A few days ago Publius Pundit celebrated its 3rd anniversary, and this post is the 500th on our new-format blog, another significant milestone.

For the first time since 1953, the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit Libya. Dr Rice is to visit the country in October. The last US Secretary of State to visit Libya was John Foster Dulles.
US State Department sources explained that the visit, which had been planned for an earlier date, had been postponed for reasons connected to the progress of political reform in Libya.

Filed under: Africa
The New York Times reports that DDT, once the bogeyman of the moonbat environmentalists, is suddenly not so bad after all, and in fact may be saving many lives in Africa:
From the 1940s onward, DDT was used to kill agricultural pests and disease-carrying insects because it was cheap and lasted longer than other insecticides. DDT helped much of the developed world, including the United States and Europe, eradicate malaria. Then in the 1970s, after the publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," which raised concern over DDT's effects on wildlife and people, the chemical was banned in many countries. Birds, especially, were said to be vulnerable, and the chemical was blamed for reduced populations of bald eagles, falcons and pelicans. Scientific scrutiny has failed to find conclusive evidence that DDT causes cancer or other health problems in humans. In the malaria-plagued regions of Africa, where mosquitoes are becoming resistant to other chemicals, DDT is now being used as an indoor repellent. Research . . . recently conducted shows that DDT is the most effective pesticide for spraying on walls, because it can keep mosquitoes from even entering the room. Malaria accounts for nearly 90 percent of all deaths from vector-borne disease globally. And it is surging in Africa, surpassing AIDS as the biggest killer of African children under age 5.
The know-it-all arrogance of these green monkeys who react on the basis of their feelings and emotions whilst simultaneously decrying their opponents for ignoring scientific data is quite breathtaking. Who knows how many lives have been lost in their effort to save them.

Filed under: Africa
We've previously reported how the West, including U-2's Bono, is getting it wrong on aid to Africa, focusing on increasing aid amounts when it should be addressing ineffective and often corrupt delivery systems.
Now, the Economist has an article showing just how backward Africa (and Russia's Siberia) really is -- and one picture (above) is worth thousand screams. The magazine writes:Seen from space, Africa at night is unlit -- as dark as all-but empty Siberia. With nearly 1 billion people, Africa accounts for over a sixth of the world's population, but generates only 4% of global electricity. Three-quarters of that is used by South Africa, Egypt and the other countries along the north African littoral. The need for more power stations in the rest of the continent has long been recognised, but most of the attempts at electrification in the 1970s and the 1980s failed.In some countries, dictators pillaged power stations for parts and fuel. In others, power stations were built but not maintained. Turbines were run at full capacity until they broke, then were abandoned.

Filed under: Africa
A new book called The Bottom Billion by Oxford economist Paul Collier shows that Bono is half blind in calling the nations of West to pour huge new sums of cash into Africa. As the Economist reports: "Take Nigeria. Over the past 30 years or so, it has received some $280 billion 'with depressingly little to show for it.' Plainly, vast dollops of aid have gone down the drain. In one of many statistical cameos, he cites a study showing that only 1% of 20 million British pounds of aid sent to Chad actually reached the rural health clinics that were its intended target."
What Bono should be doing is trying to find ways to deliver 100% of the proffered aid so as to actually help poor Africans, rather than increasing the delivery amounts in order to assist corrupt intermediaries. "What more in the name of love"?

Filed under: Africa
"Two years ago, Al Arabiya producer Nabil Kassem was asked to put together a documentary film on Darfur. What he witnessed there, and recorded in this film, were scenes of unspeakable brutality and untold suffering, scenes he thought would surely wake up an Arab public all too willing to let Darfur pass by. But Jihad on Horseback never made it across the airwaves. Watch the film to see perhaps the most provocative Arab documentary ever made." ( Atlas Shrugs)

Filed under: Africa
The Associated Press reports:
As first lady Laura Bush tours the world's poorest continent, a new report charting global attitudes shows America's image sagging around the globe - but not in Africa, where the Stars and Stripes still symbolize strength and wealth. In fact, America is more popular in several African nations than even in America. "The American society is a model of success that is a dream to Ivorian youth," says Mohamed Diarra, a 30-year-old in Ivory Coast, where some 88 percent of the population holds a favorable view of the United States - the highest in the world according to Pew Global Attitudes report. Ivory Coast, Ghana and Kenya hold America in higher regard than the fourth-highest national admirer of America: The United States itself, where about 80 percent of respondents held a favorable view of the country.
This is a real eye-opener for the Americaphobes. Not only is the myth of American arrogance dispelled (Americans aren't the country that loves America most) but so is the myth of America being hated by the third world it supposedly exploits. First Albania, now Africa . . .

Filed under: Africa ~ Europe ~ Russia ~ Sudan
That's a photograph of Russian Mi-24 attack helicopter on the tarmac in Darfur, Sudan.
What's it doing there, you ask? Didn't the United Nations enact an arms embargo on the Khartoum regime as a way of trying to stop the horrendous genocide occurring in the country? Sure they did! It was July 2004, almost three years ago. And now Amnesty International says that Russia and its partner in slime China have both run the embargo to supply millions of dollars in weaponry now being used to slaughter innocent people and eradicate democracy in this troubled nation. Read Amnesty's full report here. According to Amnesty:
In 2005, the Russian Federation exported to Sudan $21 million worth of aircraft and associated equipment including spare parts and $13.7 million of helicopters, adding to its substantial arms deliveries in previous years.The use of various types of military helicopters, particularly the Russian Mi-24 helicopter gunships acquired by the Sudan Air Force, to launch attacks in Darfur in which civilians are subjected to indiscriminate fire is of particular concern to Amnesty International, as outlined further below. It is a matter of international concern that for several years the Sudan Air Force has used this type of attack helicopter for operations during Janjawid indiscriminate attacks on villages in Al Darfur. For example, on 15 November 2006, soldiers of the Sudanese armed forces and armed militia, supported by helicopter gunships, attacked several villages in the Birmaza area, killing at least three civilians, torching dozens of houses and destroying four relief halls of an international non-governmental organization. Given the previous pattern of indiscriminate attacks over the past four years and the fact that the Government of Sudan still refuses to recognise the authority of the UN Sanctions Committee to move such weapons into Darfur, there remains danger of further such indiscriminate attacks.
Once again, Russia flouts international law, heedless of the consequences, in return for "gains" which can only be described as illusory.
Looks like a job for Super Bono!

Filed under: Africa ~ Asia
China, on a domestic and international cleaning binge, is seeking to cleanse its status and reputation by the time it begins hosting the Olympics in 2008 to appear as a developed nation in a first-world prom dress. While this may appear as a farcical whitewash operation by a totalitarian regime, it presents an opportunity for the international community to take concrete steps in resolving the Darfur crisis.

Filed under: Africa ~ Zimbabwe
Good 'ole Mugabe, liberator of the people of Zimbabwe, has decided that enough is enough. The Western imperialists seeking to overthrow him have apparently become too powerful for his liking. As the country completely deteriorates, and the opposition begins to gain momentum, what does he do? Ban all aid organizations, of course! It only makes sense.ZIMBABWE has cancelled the licences of all aid groups, accusing them of working with the opposition to oust President Robert Mugabe, sparking fears the ban could cut food supplies to hundreds of thousands of people in the nation dependent on handouts. Information Minister Sikhanyiso Ndlovu said that all non-governmental organisations had been deregistered and would have to reapply for permits, reports said yesterday.This is basically committing the entire country to suicide. This year's harvest brought in absolutely nothing. The only reason people have been surviving at all is because of Western aid programs that distribute food to people. That this happened though is not that all surprising. As opposition to Mugabe's rule mounts, so does his will to crack down on dissent. He has used food as a political weapon since the day he gained power, especially noticeable in the 2005 election when food was distributed all over the place in order to buy votes.Dr Ndlovu said the authorities wanted to identify groups working with "agents of imperialism" to overthrow Mr Mugabe, who is facing growing resistance from Zimbabweans impoverished by his 27-year stranglehold on power, The Times reported.
"Pro-opposition and Western organisations masquerading as relief agencies continue to mushroom, and the Government has annulled the registration of all NGOs in order to screen out agents of imperialism from organisations working to uplift the wellbeing of the poor," Dr Ndlovu said.
The news shocked the local NGO community, stoking fears that the ban could stop desperately needed food aid reaching the country, the newspaper said. More than 1000 aid groups operate in Zimbabwe.
But now the situation has changed; there will be no food at all. If the Zimbabwean people don't fight now, when will they?

Filed under: Africa ~ Philosphy
You might find this hard to believe (then again, you might not find it surprising in in the least): Al Gore is a horrendous polluter.
Yep, that's right, Mr. Green is Unclean. As Charles Krauthammer wrote in a recent column in Time magazine, Gore's "Tennessee mansion consumes 20 times the electricity used by the average American home. Last August alone it consumed twice as much power as the average home consumes in a year." That's to say nothing of the fact that he spurns public transportation for limosines and airplanes.
Al thinks this pollution he spews out is OK, however, because he bribes others not to pollute by purchasing "carbon credits" -- so it's a wash. Krauthammer explains that even if you think this is morally acceptable in the context of pollution (shouldn't role model Al reduce pollution rather than just trying to break even? is bribery really OK?), and even if it actually works (Krauthammer says it won't, and may in fact make pollution worse), the net result is to destroy democracy in the developing world. How? Krauthammer writes:
For example, GreenSeat, a Dutch carbon-trading outfit, buys offsets from a foundation that plants trees in Uganda's Mount Elgon National Park to soak up the carbon emissions of its rich Western patrons. Small problem: expanding the park encroaches on land traditionally used by local farmers. As a result, reports the New York Times, "villagers living along the boundary of the park have been beaten and shot at, and their livestock has been confiscated by armed park rangers." All this so that swimming pools can be heated and Maseratis driven with a clear conscience in the fattest parts of the world.
Now, let's leave aside the obvious fact that trees in Uganda won't do a blessed thing to "soak up" toxic runoff from an American power station or other industrial facility like what was discovered at the famous Love Canal (is it only warming Mr. Green cares about, and not pollution in general?). Let's forget about whether the smoke from Al's chimneys is really going to fly all the way to Uganda rather that being inhaled first by some poor little kid in Nashville. The point is this: people don't want to give up carbon. Carbon is delicious. From Al's own egregious actions, that's plain to see. Ergo, you have to force them to, by undemocratic means. Naturally, forcing Al himself to do so is out of the question. So Al chooses to force some helpless Ugandan farmers instead. He's inviting (no, causing) dictatorship for profit.
Looks like Al is realizing what Kermit knew all along: It's not easy being green!

Filed under: Africa ~ Zimbabwe
A thin red line exists between what we morally can and cannot do. Such a line exists for all people, except for Robert Mugabe. His line is the horizon -- no matter how much he pushes the boundaries, it moves further and further away. He has systematically turned Zimbabwe into hell on earth, but even most tyrants will allow their opposition to exist in name while restricting their activities. Not Mugabe. He thinks that he's God himself. So I guess it should be no surprise that he has taken his rule one step further by arresting opposition leader Morgan Tsvangarai.HARARE, Zimbabwe — Police stormed the main opposition party headquarters Wednesday and arrested its leader shortly before President Robert Mugabe left for an emergency meeting of southern African leaders about the crisis in Zimbabwe.Zimpundit says that this shows that Mugabe is willing to do anything to crush the opposition and remain in power. Certainly so. In the moment, one would find it impossible to believe that genocide in Rwanda and Sudan could actually happen until it is well underway, regardless of the plentiful signs pointing in that direction well ahead of time.Morgan Tsvangirai and other Mugabe opponents were taken into custody hours before the opposition leader planned to talk to reporters about a wave of political violence that left him briefly hospitalized.
Police sealed off approaches to the Movement for Democratic Change headquarters and fired tear gas to drive away onlookers before taking Tsvangirai and the others away in a bus, said Eliphas Mukonoweshuro, an aide to Tsvangirai.
"We don't know their whereabouts. We don't know if they have been charged," he said.
Meanwhile, the world stands by idly interpreting events and, rather than acting on that analysis, hopes that the horizon will eventually end. A cartoon posted by Sokwanele sums it up:

Filed under: Africa
Former vice-president of Zimbabwe, Joshua Nkomo, writes a very interesting article in the Zimbabwe Independent about what he sees as what needs to be done in order to ensure the freedom of its people. It was very interesting, and at least I got the point, but I couldn't help but be sidetracked from one paragraph of the column that makes an assertion about political systems that I feel compelled to further explore. Here's what he wrote:A one-party state, sincerely operated, may indeed be a way of encouraging an open and constructive debate. A multi-party state, badly operated, may be just another way of keeping an elite in power. The point is it is not the formal system that really matters, but the spirit in which a single or multi-party state is managed or operated. What matters is that the leadership should tolerate and encourage diverse opinions to be heard -- opinions of different social groups, differ-ent economic interests, different regions. Since geographical regions within Afri-can nations tend to be inhabited by people of different languages and cultural backgrounds, partly as a result of colonial boundaries, regional dynamics to national politics are vitally important: recognising and accommodating regional differences is the best way to prevent them turning into counter-productive tribal rivalries. Diversity must be appreciated, celebrated and tapped for collective national good.Being largely a proponent of structural factors, I wonder: Is this even possible in most cases? Won't most leaders, in single party states, simply opt for absolute power regardless of their previous noble ambitions? Are diverse opinions and rights something that can be guaranteed by a leader, or something that has to be built into the system in a way that they cannot be breached on a whim? Mugabe himself is a prime example of this. Therefore, I think that power cannot be trusted, and must be restrained by the system itself.
Let me know what you think, as I would like to discuss these ideas and turn them into a larger article to post soon.

Filed under: Africa
The candidate debate leading up to the second round of Mauritania's presidential election is debuting momentarily on Al Jazeera tonight, to be broadcast across the entire region. Suehp Rom calls it "North Africa's equivalent of the Nixon-Kennedy debate." Hardly has ever a moment like this passed in the region, where two candidates are able to freely debate issues of importance to the country in order to legitimately win the votes of the people. From what I know, it will center on international political affairs, such as regional issues and relations with Israel, as well as local politics and rights.
Say what you want about Al Jazeera. It may have a lot of anti-American and and otherwise stupid commentary, but they have a lot of good and interesting content too. Remember, they aren't an American channel -- they're an Arab channel. And the fact that they are the ire of Arab governments everywhere shows how much they've been able to advance the debate on many key issues.

Filed under: Africa
Following a brutal crackdown on the opposition, Mugabe has become more isolated than ever. Even the African nations can no longer ignore the plight of Zimbabwe's people, as they have done for so long. Even Mugabe's own party and security services, discontent with their own standard of living and the constant danger they are in by enforcing such a regime, are turning on him. The entire country is about to collapse. What's a lone dictator to do?
Why, send in the ninjas, of course! I didn't know they had ninjas in Africa, but Angola apparently is flush with them. Must be all that recent Asian investment...Angola is sending 2500 of its feared paramilitary police to Zimbabwe, raising concerns of an escalation in violence against President Robert Mugabe's opponents, it was reported today.So this is what it comes down to. Most of Mugabe's security forces really are human. They have families to take care of, which is the only reason they would take such a job. But they also live amongst the very people that they repress. Living standards have also gone down so much that the consequences of their actions are no longer worth the pay. They've been abandoning their master -- along with teachers, civil servants, and other public employees -- because the benevolent dictator can't even feed them anymore!Zimbabwe's Home Affairs Minister Kembo Mohadi confirmed the imminent arrival of the Angolans, Britain's The Times reported today.
He said 1000 Angolans were expected on April 1, with the rest to follow in groups of 500.
The paramilitaries, notorious for their violence and dubbed ninjas for their all black uniforms, form part of the presidential guard of Jose Eduardo dos Santos, who has been in power in Angola since 1979.
[...]
This was the first time there has been such a large group, one source said.
With his forces abandoning him, he must look outside to foreign forces. These are people who don't live amongst the ZImbabweans and don't face the consequences of their actions. It's a typical move used by everyone from the Iranians to the Chinese to repress domestic discontent. But it has become obvious that Zimbabwe is reaching a tipping point. With the church calling for Mugabe to be toppled, and people so hungry that they don't care whether they live or die, mass action is going to happen. Soon.
