The movie cost on pay per view, only 12$, "Change we can believe in" cost us hopes, many countries development setback, historical anomaly with Jekyll and Hyde and a new cold war flirting with the worst of human nature which can soon trigger a 3rd World War.
At the height of his public relation strategies, President Obama set’s the bar high : "Make no mistake: History is on the side of these brave Africans, not with those who use coups or change constitutions to stay in power" (...) "Africa doesn’t need strongmen, it needs strong institutions.", he said.
Four years have passed since these ephemeral promises and by far the most catastrophic US President first term foreign policy track record in Africa.
Even though we are all aware that salvation of Africa lies within its people, nobody save anyone if not by themselves, the lightning in the bottle was interpreted as leadership from Ghana to Cairo and by the young African entrepreneurs invited to the White-House. The man stirred up the hope as an advocate of the continent. We all believed in his promises, not like as a savior but one more attentive advocate, who might positively influence the course of history.
The awakening was brutal, beyond indifference; turn out to be devastating by all accounts, feeling as being told by the President: "Sorry brothers; that were community organizer's tales."
Last 4 years accomplishments:
- Supporting where needed and replacing the worn African dictators, compliant with the United States agenda,
- Desecration of sovereignty, weakening African institutions, plundering and imperiling development,
- Bombing of civilians, cities, infrastructures and years built assets of countries, in the name of democracy and humanitarian interventionism, never taking in account the people's outrage, bone deep exhausted by their way of life and governance disposed in other capitals.
- Coups d’état, assassinations and deportations to the ICC of resilient to imperialism,
- Deaf-mute on massive violations of human rights and genocide, from DRC to Djibouti, Ivory Coast to Libya....
This last term of the Nobel Peace Prize recipient, and Time Magazine 2012 Person of the Year, would it turn out to be the return to the good grace or as the most consequential in recent memory over issues that have bedeviled US-Africa's relations for decades?
