-- Ms. Everlyne Joe, I totally agree that Africa's problems must find a solution in order to urgently fix its problems to have "The Africa we all Want"....... This honest discussion is long overdue. Both Kagame and Ruto spoke well about "The Africa We all want". This then I believe, provides a good open public discussion in sharing to offer opinion on way forward by both the countrymen, youth, women and the Diaspora. Kagame rightly put it that, it is important to know the root cause of our problems in order to find solutions. Again, here he is so right. It is when we diagnose the problem, we can agree how to navigate moving forward. This is a very interesting topic that must not be left to leaders alone. Together, we shall find solution to our problems in Africa. have your say people.............. Cheers !!!

Let us meet in August. -------------------- Paul Kagame on African responsibility (Boko Haram) #AfDBAM2014 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAPNC4YpGCQ Published on May 20, 2014 --African Leaders Should Accept Their Failure In Solving Conflicts-- President Paul Kagame has challenged African leaders to take responsibility and accept their failure in solving conflicts that have ravaged the continent for decades. The head of state was on Tuesday contributing to a panel discussion on ending conflict in Africa at the ongoing African Development Bank's annual meeting. The session was themed: "Solving conflicts and Peace building in Africa." In his remarks, President Kagame said African leaders should work together and solve their own problems without seeking help from European countries. "I think we must take responsibility and accept our failures in dealing with these matters," said Kagame. Commenting on the issue of Nigerian Islamist militia Boko Haram that had been raised by the former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, President Kagame said there was no need for regional leaders to travel to Europe seeking for help. "When I am watching television and I find that our leaders, who should have been working together all along to address these problems that only affect their countries, wait until they are invited to go to Europe to sit there and find solutions to their problems...it's as if they are made to sit down and address their problems," said Kagame. "Why does anybody wait for that?" asked Kagame. President Kagame added that such leaders seeking solutions to Africa's problems from outsiders tarnishes the continent's image. However, Kagame did not name any names. His comments were seen as reference to recent meeting in Paris attended by Nigerian President and other west africa leaders on the boko haram militants. "In fact, the image it gives is that we are not there to address these problems...they are (African leaders) happy to sit in Paris with the President of France and just talk about their problems," said Kagame. "It doesn't make sense that our leaders cannot get themselves together to address problems affecting our people," added Kagame. President Kagame said African leaders do not need to be invited by outsiders to go and address their domestic problems. "African leaders, we don't need to be invited anywhere to go and address our problems, without first inviting ourselves to come together to tell each other the actual truth we must tell each other," he said. President Kagame and other leaders were discussing findings of a report by panel of experts established by the African Development Bank President, Dr. Donald Kaberuka. The High Level Panel on Fragile States (HLPFS) chaired by Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. On South Sudan, President Kagame told the audience that it was the responsibility of the country's people and leaders who took time to fight for their independence but rather create another problem after attaining that independence. "This country and the people there wanted to be independent. They got independence but that turned into a problem," said Kagame. "You have won war being fought waged to get independence, then you have to fight another when you have achieved independence...just fighting among themselves." Kagame went on: "Some of these underlined root causes should and could have been addressed by the leaders there. Whatever happened, whoever was wrong-that's not the issue. It is still the responsibility of leaders if they can't resolve the matters themselves, why not calling neighbours to say come and help. We have a problem here."

Please, you can forward this invitation to NGOs, cultural/tribal and alumni groups. We will share data with the African Union Steering Committee, information from the embassies, and updates from the AU and regions. Many national groups have competently addressed the Dual Citizenship and Voting Rights issues. Please, see the updated write up. The focus will be more on the moral, economic and social dimensions. We will be glad to work with the groups that have addressed the issues and use best practices of African countries that have already granted dual citizenship or voting's rights. The AU Commission will get the recommendations in August 2014. As Continentals, we can demonstrate that we can work together as the Jews, Asians, Hispanics do with varied organizations focusing on particular areas.
