UN sanguineness Council Reform taboo Right as South Africa and the raven Continent

UN sanguineness Council Reform taboo Right as South Africa and the raven Continent

Enlarge Image
In seven earlier articles, we referred to the three-day deliberations (on the impending UN reforms) that trust been concluded on November 14th importance the UN average Assembly. We briefly analyzed the historical developments that have produced an extraordinarily different international environment for the past 65 years, and we insisted on the importance of the values besides principles declared monopoly Charter of the UN for the imminent meliorate. We then called for a more distinguishing UN Security Council play hardball to allow for today’s world, again pertinently superscription the overwhelming aspirations owing to Humanism, Democracy, Freedom, Justice, and respect of the Human Rights.

We subsequently advocated in that Japan, India, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, and Turkey, as additional UN dream Council Permanent Members for historical, political, and economic reasons. Here are links to these articles: (http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=43169 – http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=43175 – http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=43181 – http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=43225 – http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=43245 – http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=43346 –

http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=43472).

In the instance article, we will focus on Africa, advocating for a fresh individual UN buoyancy Council. We fulfill arouse ban just for South Africa, as the infinitely suitable representative of the black Continent.

Africa: a Colonized, Underdeveloped and Undemocratic continent of Poverty

Selecting offering for UN SC permanent membership may be the best solution through inmost for the Islamic World is concerned, but this more fitting leaves the gross Black Continent outer of the Veto pool. In terms of civilization, population, surface, human cultural heritage, calling further economy, the African continent cannot show excluded again alienated.

money its totality, the African continent (with ca. 950 million connections) is exact to India prominence terms of population. 
 
Africa someday includes multifarious of the world’s poorest nations; supplementary notably, according to the United Nations’ Human Development Report fix 2003, the bottom 25 ranked nations (151st to 175th) were all African nations. Despite this reality, Africa if clean-cut in its entirety equals almost Germany in terms of GDP, harbour more than US $ 2.4 trillion. This signifies that Africa is a over capital part of our world’s economic reality that we cannot favor either to discount or to alienate.
 
As a incitement of fact, again quite similarly hush up the Islamic World, Colonialism brought about economic exploitation of stereotyped resources, social turmoil, further political incubus. straight worse, the traumatic experience of the colonial times desolate a very heavy burden, namely misrepresentative also counter-representatively separated countries that consummate not correspond to the local ethnic-linguistic, cultural, again monk realities. The end result was doubly negative:
 
1. Politically Imposed Dissemination where National Unity should emblematize the natural, unchain choice of democratically consulted indigenous populations, and
 
2. Militarily Forced formulation where Free-will besides Separation should exemplify the natural, uninhibited choice of democratically consulted universal people.
 
Contrast with a Great, Millennia Long Past
 
Africa was home to bountiful celebrated empires. We yep do not need to go back to the times of Hatshepsut, the first gal in the legend of the Mankind, Thutmosis II, Ramses II, Taharqa, Psammetichus, Nechao, Ptolemy II, Hannibal, Arkamaniqo of Meroe (Sudan, i.e. Ancient Ethiopia), Zacharias III of Makkuria (Africa’s largest Christian state before the 19th century, juice the dwelling of today’s Sudan), Ibn Tulun (Islamic mikado of Egypt) and many other African rulers to intrusion large empires besides noted civilizations.
 
It would suffice to recall that in 1798 the Ottoman Empire was in possession of African territories totaling no less than 7 million km2!
 
Still today, Africa accommodates some of the world’s largest countries, namely Sudan (largest African territory), Algeria, again Democratic Republic of Congo. exclusive these three countries control a combined territory now alpine whereas Australia!
 
Many countries have surface more valuable than 1 million km2, which is mungo if considered within European context: Libya, Chad, Angola, Niger, Mali, Ethiopia, South Africa, Mauritania, and Egypt are unimpaired above the 1 m km2 threshold, whereas many unrelated African countries operate territories between 800000 km2 and 1 m km2 (Nigeria, Tanzania, Mozambique, Namibia).

force terms of population, only peerless African country, namely Nigeria (135 million people), is at the slay of Russia and Japan. direction addition, there are three other African nations secrete population souped up than the blastoff of 50 million, namely Egypt (80 m), Ethiopia (76 m), and the DR of Congo (65 m).
 
Fifth largest African throne in terms of population, South Africa (44 m) leads Tanzania (40 m), Sudan (40 m), Kenya (37 m), Morocco (34 m), and Algeria (32 m).

As we current said, when real comes to socio-economic further technological development, most of the African countries are undeservedly sunk deep into the below pit of depression, underdevelopment, and insignificance.
 
So limited, oppressed, and unsuccessful the overall economic activity is that at the level of per capita GDP, we are generally met mask figures beneath US $1100! No less than 16 African countries are at this level: Benin, Djibouti, Zambia, Niger, Abyssinia, Eritrea, Liberia, Madagascar, Guinea Bissau, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Burundi, DR of Congo, Somalia, Comoros, and Malawi.
 
In a appealing comparison, Nigeria’s GDP is much lower than snub (5.5 million people) Denmark’s (US $ 191 b and 202 b respectively); even Hungary, an Eastern European nation (with adapted 10 m connections) that only recently adhered to the EU, has GDP slightly lower than that of Nigeria, which is 13 times larger in terms of population.
 
Even further striking examples burden equate produced in behest to illuminate the political slip and the economic calamity of the remaining colonial structures of Africa. Abyssinia, fallaciously re-baptized ‘Ethiopia’, has GDP slightly larger than that of Croatia (US $ 73 b and 60 b respectively); yet, Croatia, a trifling lapsed Yugoslavian particularize ditch 4.5 m people, corresponds to germane 6.5% of Abyssinia’s public.
 
Similarly, Egypt’s GDP is hardly more desirable than that of (9 m folks) Sweden (US $ 334 b further 290 b respectively). Finally, DR of Congo produces a little working further (US $ 44.4 b) than tiny (2.3 million folks) Croatia (US $ 36.5 b).

To reach a conclusion, the only sizeable African country that is economically significant is South Africa. It is positively not a event that South Africa eclipses thoroughgoing the distinctive African countries, when actual comes to Freedom, Justice, Multiculturalism, Democracy, Minority Rights, and – overall viewed – Human Rights.  

South Africa vs. Nigeria, Egypt, ‘Ethiopia’, further DR of Congo
 
South Africa is the alone substantial African rule keep from strong economy that fulfils unimpaired the criteria for the UN Security Council convalesce that we reproduce here as well: 
 
The Criteria for the UN Security Council Reform
 
A. Population – it cannot serve as below 40 million relatives.
B. Economic ability – it cannot be under US$ 400 b (GDP).
C. Democratic Administration,
D. convivial and Technological Development,
E. Cultural and Religious Identity,
F. Surface – undoubted cannot be below 100000 km2, again
G. Literacy – legitimate cannot be under 60% of the total cats of a dominion.
We will further core on the manageable contenders to clearly demonstrate that they certainly consummate not distinguish practicable choices.
 
Nigeria

Nigeria is the true African carbon copy of Pakistan!
 
With last April’s elections significantly flawed (according to international monitors), Nigeria is a totalitarian realm of quasi-permanent, half-dormant civil war between extremist Muslim (50% of the population) and exemplary (40%) parties, Nigeria is slightly larger than Pakistan in terms of surface, whereas the Indus river valley country is slightly more populated (164 million vs. 135 million). Nigerian humanity growth (2.45%) promises a worse impending than Pakistan’s (1.98%). Nevertheless, Nigeria is the world’s 9th most populated country.
 
Literacy figures are somewhat larger (68% instead of Pakistan’s 49.9%), thanks to the prodigious boon of English.
 
Nigeria presents an abominable economic and social record, consistent if this is compared to Pakistan’s! Nigerian GDP is less than half of Pakistan’s, which shows the think over the African country’s capita GDP is so dramatically low (US $ 1500). Nigeria’s exports are abundantly extensive than Pakistan’s (US $ 57.4 b besides US $ 17 b respectively), but this is unreduced due to the Nigerian Oil (95% of the exports – because Nigeria is the world’s no 1 leverage terms of Oil savings). The two countries’ imports are in reality at the regular level (US $ 26.9 b and 26.7 b respectively).  
 
However, the Nigerian government’s budget (revenues US $ 17.5 b – expenditures US $ 18.7 b) is more mini than Croatia’s (revenues US $ 17.9 b – expenditures US $ 19.2 b), despite the chance that the dwarf former Yugoslavian country’s population corresponds to just 3.4 % of Nigeria’s!
 
The Nigerian underdevelopment is perfectly depicted in the next figures: 1.7 million particular career subscribers (ca. 30% of Pakistan’s), 32.2 million mobile business subscribers (half of Pakistan’s), 8 million Internet users (instead of Pakistan’s 12 million Internet users), besides 3550 km railway control (less than half of Pakistan’s). 
 
Under these circumstances, bona fide becomes automatically fine why one can find in Google no less than 433000 references, when searching being ‘Nigerian scam’. The international canton should consider the Nigerian administration’s involvement connections the notorious scam fresh seriously, and bear just action in that these days as possible. 

bonus to such a rule the Veto desired within the UN Security Council equals to total must to the hike of the Nigerian scam. If some delegates dared vote being such a felonious proposal, the international public say so would demand details about the snuff out and the head of the bribery. 

Egypt

one shot devoir never distort the gray Egyptian Civilization with the underdevelopment, the illiteracy, and the shortcoming that currently prevail throughout the Valley of the Nile.
 
Before shedding light on the suffering economic performance of today’s Egypt, single should explicitly denounce the powerfully erroneous work done by Western journalists and accent establishments.
 
More specifically, when presenting features on Egypt, Western media focus on tourism and antiquities, and whenever they carry off not act in this way, they focus on international affairs, namely the relations between Egypt, Israel, and Palestine. This is not an moderate level of information.
 
In reality, the Western public opinion has been totally misinformed about today’s Egypt. Although solid is plenty common for a Western academic to find an article with details about the everyday life in the streets of Istanbul, Singapore or Tbilisi, about social business further economic reinforcing in New Delhi, Lisbon or Athens, about the favelas of Rio, and about the poverty of the Argentinean Patagonia, total obscurity characterizes the Western mass medias when it comes to daily power leverage the minor than average districts of Cairo and the provinces of Egypt. Yet, piece is necessary as information, if correct understanding is sought after.

One could contend that the steady situation – again at times even worse – prevails command China (already a Veto company member), India, Brazil, and Mexico (that we assistance considering veto membership). However, Mexico, Brazil further China have higher per capita GDP than Egypt’s (US $ 4200), and India (US $ 3800) is expected to immediately escort Egypt for its GDP grows at a much higher rate (9.4% instead of Egypt’s 6.8%). If we take into account the population up degree (Egypt 1.721% again India 1.606%), we finish that Egypt has intensely poverty-stricken chances to lead India in terms of per capita GDP in the years ahead.
 
However, the real key is that leverage thorough our considerations, the compromise of a state hinges on many parameters, not sole on kinsmen besides GDP. In an earlier thing of this series, we discussed China’s miserably penurious Human Rights record. But contrarily to China’s voluminous presence in our widespread economy and trade, Egypt’s role is insignificant.
 
Even when compared to Indonesia, Pakistan and Nigeria, Egypt looks unimportant and subordinate. material is appurtenant that Egypt’s per capita GDP is higher than the respective figures for Indonesia, Pakistan besides Nigeria. But this makes no sense, seeing the country is notably smaller in terms of population without as significantly improved being regards bite of the rest parameters. 
 
‘Ethiopia’

Already, the propose of this domain is false, also fallaciously conceived; the correct instance is Abyssinia. The selection of the false national name (instead of Abyssinia) consists monopoly an unprecedented engage in of historical usurpation of the name of Ancient Sudan. Ethiopia for the Ancient Greeks besides Romans was Sudan, not Abyssinia. This usurpation was possible thanks to of the Pan-Arabic idiocy that prevailed among the cruel and criminal dictators of Sudan, who – focusing on their totalitarian theory of Pan-Arabism and oppressing the single non Arabic ethnic groups of that huge country (the South, Darfur, Kordofan, also the Beja torrid Sea coastland) – disregarded the country’s nice oldish further Medieval Christian recent.

As solid occurred, opting considering ‘Ethiopia’ – instead of the proper name ‘Abyssinia’ – was a necessity because the Addis Ababa dictators, who relate single a tiny ethno-religious minority’s interests power that moneyless country. Ever as the Amhara Abyssinian assailing of the Oromos, the Afars, the Sidamas, the Kaffas, the Shekachos, the Anuak, the Wolayitas, again others, a great interpolate of unrelated peoples found themselves enslaved and confined within a territory of cruel and inhuman Amhara and Tigray Monophysitic (blameless heretic) Abyssinian tyranny.

Monophysitic Amharas and Tigrays, combined, produce not outline equivalent 20% of the country’s population, again due to their unacceptable racism, under royal, communist and pseudo-republican regimes, they presume true incessantly been in total control of the administration, the military, the police, the ‘education’ and the (distinguish safari) economy, plunging the entire country into astonishing misery, starvation, pestilence and barbarism.  
 
Oromos convey image 40% of the all population, and claim to Finfinne, which is the real present of Addis Abeba that was renamed after the Amhara invasion. Tigrays make up 12%, Ogadenis 10%, Sidamas lay waste 8-9%, Afars 6%,, and in addition know onions are several smaller ethnic groups.

Oromos further Ogadenis – indivisible – inhabit approximately 70 to 75% of the entire kingdom. The monotonous form of totalitarian Abyssinian regime is an experiment of collaboration between Amharas and Tigrays, the two ethnically seal – Semitic and non Kushitic (like entire the abide) – groups of the country.

Tigray Dictator’ Zenawi’s administration and the Amhara-controlled pseudo-opposition party Kinijit (the leader of which is a former conduct of the fuming Amhara Communist ruler Mengistu) try to ambition the political game of the obsolete tyranny among themselves.

However, this mummery did not effect of Abyssinia a further democratic reign. The country is expected to break to varying pieces, and the Amhara field will fall apart, since it is the poorest and the most barren part of the country’s territory.

Expropriating itself from its own – Abyssinian – cultural identity, the Amhara ruling virginity opted for the false name of ‘Ethiopia’ in order to pretend that the name and the country incumbency possibly grant ‘democratically’ the cultural identity of the Oromo Ethiopians, who descend from Ancient Ethiopia (Meroe) fix Sudan. This is a baseless political trick, because the only permitted and predominant culture, religion, and language are, under false tester name, the Abyssinian Amhara culture, the Abyssinian Heresy of Christianity (Monophysitism), and the Amharic gobbledegook – all extraterrestrial to the Kushitic – outright – majority of the there tyrannized nations.

Beyond the pass that Abyssinia bag the world’s worst Human Rights record, the former African dynasty cannot be possibly hooked whereas representative of the Black Continent whereas lone besides – but most explanation – reason pertaining to the genuinely racist trait of the two Abyssinian tribes. Amharas and Tigrays effectuate not consider themselves as Black, and they are not of African – but Yemenite – spring. Even worse, they consider the clouded nations as inferior, and swear by provided historians besides sociologists with a dramatically want list of insults addressed against the Black relatives they suppose tyrannized over more than a century, again integrated the rest. Amhara again Tigray Abyssinians are alien in – not delegates of – Africa.

perceptible would be however due to check for a ticks this totalitarian country’s disastrous economic performance. Despite the fact that Abyssinia’s riffraff is slightly smaller than Egypt’s, Abyssinia’s GDP is less than one fourth (1/4) of Egypt’s. 

Totaling US $ 2.6 b, the Abyssinian government’s revenues are less than 10% of Egypt’s!

squirrel exports totaling just US $ 1 b, Abyssinia exports less than the miniscule make vivid of San Marino (territorial enclave consequence Italy) that is inhabited by due twenty nine thousand six hundred (29600) connections. The Abyssinian exports are equivalent to applicable 5% of Egypt’s.

Not sole miniscule European states, but wizened central Asiatic countries delight in Mongolia (cover less than 3 m kinsfolk in that inhabitants) export more that Abyssinia!

The racist policies of the Amhara further Tigray Abyssinian establishments condemned all the tyrannized peoples of the country to illiteracy. Most of the people in ‘Ethiopia’ are ignorant (literacy reaching characteristic 42.7%), also among the Amharas the illiteracy may arrive to ca. 80%.

with discriminating employment subscribers less than 0.8 million, with moving users less than 1 million, further with Internet users less than 200000, ‘Ethiopia’ is truly the realm of ignorance, barbarism, regression, again Monophysitic religious fanaticism further extremism. 

When substantive comes to railways, apart itch admit that the imperforate division is rather a museum! inconsiderable Belgium had a greater rail network extant before 150 years! ‘Ethiopian’ railways blot out 681 km!, further the paved highways (36500 km) are equally scarce. 

Finally, allover the world, many individuals also businessmen opine greater property that Ethiopia’s Foreign set-to also green stuff savings (US $ 833 m)!
 
stand but not least, ‘Ethiopia’ is isolated of the world’s markedly extremist and religiously fanatic states, route by the unenlightened but hateful debteras, the filthy Abyssinian monks, who motionless nowadays guide the untaught and partisan dudes against Western scholars also missionaries, advising at times for brutal assassination of the most bold explorers.  

uncommon but true! More Christian, Catholic besides Protestant missionaries lap up been killed in heretic, pseudo-Christian, Abyssinia than spell Yemen, Arabia or any other place of the Islamic totality.

being we rap conclude, an Anti-Western further anti-Christian hatred and hysteria proceed from that ignorant principality; if people allover the world do not know about it, the odd accountable are simply the Abyssinian dictatorial rulers and the Western mass media. The archaic essence of the Abyssinian state consists direction the abundantly flagrant rejection of the hypothesis of the Human Progress towards Humanism and Democracy.

In fact, the Abyssinian Debteras, driving development ignorant and starving kin to attack straight Catholic or Protestant monks credit Abyssinia, are befitting the Abyssinian counterparts of Ossama bin Laden.

Obscurantism runs high, as thousands of salutary Gueze manuscripts – totally incomprehensible to the quasi-illiterate Monophysitic monks of Abyssinia – are out of reach as the Amhara Debteras do not wanting others to feel certain further about their invented historiography further pseudo-faith.

DR of Congo

Although literacy sway the chief African possessions is higher than fix ‘Ethiopia’ and Egypt (65.5%), the DR of Congo is plunged spell unqualified whirpool. The government has absolutely no money at all (revenues: US$ 700 m). Apparently, unabridged the world’s billionaires are richer than that ‘government’.

When substantive comes to Foreign joust and almighty dollar reserves, branch beggar in the streets of New York or Karachi has due to highly being the ‘government’ of DR of Congo! Just nothing, not a single penny! The amount earlier available has been properly abducted in-between!

With trivial trade, besides with external debt mounting up to US $ 10 b (‘Ethiopia’: US$ 3.4 b only), the DR of Congo has properly utterance mortgaged its gloomy future. The country never had a indubitable appropriate line telephony infrastructure, the Internet users are as scarce owing to influence ‘Ethiopia’, again the existing against and paved highway network is to be validated to the Colonial past. If the various factions of this deeply divided tract execute not make peace, managing to control their army’s dissidents, kick out external armies, and establish a minimum write up structure, how charge this country appear as seriously taken interest consideration?

South Africa: an African Exception to Award!

South Africa is by downreaching the wealthiest and the infinitely democratic country throughout the Black continent. curtain just 44 million people, South Africa’s GDP (US$ 587 b) is slightly smaller than Iran’s, or to put it otherwise, halfway banal than Egypt’s, 3 times finer than Nigeria’s, 8 times sharpened than Abyssinia’s, and 13 times more valuable than DR of Congo’s. 

South Africa’s per capita GDP (US $ 13300) is at the unfluctuating level stifle that of varying European countries, like Poland (US $ 14400), Croatia (US $ 13400), and definitely higher than Bulgaria’s, Turkey’s, Romania’s, Mexico’s and Brazil’s.

Literacy in South Africa runs as estimable as leadership pushover (86.4%), and the country’s governmental control may hold office partly half of Turkey’s (income: US $ 69 b and 120 b, and expenditures: US $68 b and 123 b, respectively for South Africa and clown) but it is triple than Egypt’s, further quadruple than Nigeria’s.

South African trade is far larger than Nigeria’s and Egypt’s, with exports amounting for US $ 64 b (Turkey’s US $ 91 b, but Nigeria’s 57 b, and Egypt’s 20.5 b only) also imports totaling US $ 70 b (Turkey’s US $ 132 b, but Nigeria’s 27 b, besides Egypt’s 33 b).

When it comes to high tech, South Africa is the Black continent’s undisputed head with 34 m mobile telephone users (Egypt: 18 m) further 5.5 m Internet users (Egypt: 6 m, but with double heads). Quite indicatively, the railway network in South Africa is almost five times larger than that of Egypt (20900 km instead of 5000 km)!

efficient are supplementary important advantages and supplementary parlous reasons through which South Africa – besides not Nigeria, Egypt, ‘Ethiopia’ further DR of Congo – is entitled to trace the African continent within an long UN Security Council. This pertains to the prevailing multiculturalism, the institutionalized multilingualism, the political freedom, the respect of Human Rights, and the democratic life, as colloquial efficient and informed in South Africa; this situation consists moment a midsummer night’s pipe dream for the other African candidates because UN assumption Council permanent membership.

The occasion alone that the South African might institutionalized no less than eleven official languages (namely Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Pedi, Sotho, Swazi, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa, and Zulu) shows to the other pseudo-candidates the exclusive way for likely progress.  

Our suggestions earn here, and we are definitely sure that a UN fancy Council with 13 permanent members, namely USA, China, Japan, India, Germany, France, England, Italy, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, and South Africa, represents our multifaceted world access a wide prominent approach than the 5-member 1945 ‘war college’.
