Racism And Xenophobia: Echoes From South Africa In A Troubled Continent By Erasmus Ikhide | Sahara Reporters Neither did they plant intrinsic seed of fraud, tyrant, hatred or ethnocentrism among the black race. Even if they did, what stops... READ MORE:
Those, who are still hoping that the African continent might someday reinvent itself for the better are at best hallucinating, at worst living in the world that's out of it. Africa has remained a basket case and no amount of outward buck-passing on"How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" can change the self-afflicted tragedy the continent had visited upon itself long after independence.
That the continent had failed itself woefully couldn't put a lie to former South African apartheid Prime Minister, Pieter Willem Botha's summation that"Black people can't rule themselves because they don't have brains and mental capacity to govern a society. Give them guns, they would kill themselves. Give them power, they would steal all the government money.
“The reality is that we have an angry nation. What’s happening can never be prevented by any government. People are saying some heads of state decided not to attend the World Economic Forum; we should be talking about why this whole thing is coinciding with that. People are saying it is xenophobic attacks but it is not the first time, we have had them in the past.
What that suggests is that all the African countries and the legions of organisations like the African Union have decidedly and/or collectively failed abysmally. The worse of the pack is the Nigerian state under the very fragile, deleterious, bigotry President Muhammadu Buhari. To start with, from available records, Hausa, Fulani are not among those Nigerians slaughtered in those attacks. The killing is in order for President Buhari and his minders since cattle and Fulani herdsmen are not involved. What's more? After all, Buhari’s regime has killed more Nigerians extra-judicially with the deployment of military called operation crocodile or snake dancers to kill harmless Indigenous Peoples of Biafra members in Eastern Nigeria.
