Folks:
In the end, the Africans got it right.
The joint statement by ECOWAS; AU; UN (attached) is very insightful. Read the lines and "in-between." The negotiations had an end goal: peaceful exit. You do not encumber this goal with "other agendas," using it as a springboard to other ends - if the talk process must be trusted. You do not do an "Obasanjo." This refers to former Nigerian President Obasango who offered the former Liberian President Charles Taylor asylum in Nigeria. The rest is history; it facilitated Taylor's capture. He was sent to the The Hague (ICC). Then a sit-tight dude would rather die ruining the country and not go down alone - fearing no further fall. As a negotiator, you have to be trusted and not prone to cunningness.
Thanks Dr. Kofi and Bro, Ezekwe (earlier commentary) and all you who appreciate my work. Well, at 9 years, I could tell the story of the Casablanca Group as a child. From London, my Mom used to send these books called My Home in India, Pakistan, England, etc. What? Nothing in Ghana, Egypt or any African country? She said: Africans can write that. LOL.
Have a blessed week, enjoy the reading, and especially the video with The Gambian Chief of Defence Staff..."We will make them tea (ECOWAS Forces) and enjoy the Smiling Coast of Africa." I cracked up.
Best,
MsJoe
