Ogbuefi Cornelius:

I better preempt you! I know you are going to respond with two truckloads of references to annoying Zionist links. I respond only with two links:

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Occupation? Which occupation and whose occupation ?

I find myself thinking along these lines as ( like a cow) I chew the
cud of what Messers Benjamin and Harrow have been saying recently, in
this forum:

Seek ye Justice, yes, but up till now in this African Forum, no one is
talking about "Occupied Mauritania" which allegedly abolished slavery
in 1984.

In the words of Naiwu Osahon, 29th October 2010,

"Mauritania left the Economic Community of West African States to join
the union formed by the Arab North African States. A few years ago,
Mauritania sacked all Black natives from their civil service
positions. Black Mauritanians protest their plight to the African
Union (AU) without receiving attention, because AU Black leaders fear
offending their Arab colleagues in the AU. In Mauritania, they have
had to declare an end to slavery six times in this century alone, and
still nothing has changed for the captive majority African natives.
African slavery is still in their statute books. African slavery in
Mauritania is what the on going quarrel between Mauritania and Senegal
is about. The quarrel forced Black African refugees to pour across the
border from Mauritania into Senegal."

Is it any wonder that Avi Bari from Guinea did not seek asylum there?

Nor is anyone talking about occupied anywhere else in Africa North of
the Sahara, even as some resident so called Afri-can-ists who deep
down in their psyche think that they can are still making false
accusations about non-existent "Racist Arab Libyans" as a distinct
category to be found exclusively in the Eastern part of Libya. It's
the same kind of mentality that crowned Mr. Gaddafi "The King of Kings
of Africa" the kind of mentality that Bedford N. Umez, PhD has
tirelessly identified as "Inferiority complex"

Side question : Does "seek justice" mean that JESHURUN should be
handed over to Fatah, Hamas and Hezbollah who say that they will never
recognise Israel and who are united in one purpose and one purpose
only: to  ( God forbid) eradicate Israel  and erect a Fundamentalist
Muslim State operating Sharia Law on the Carcass of what they now call
"Occupied Palestine" ?
