Some one may be said me, the faded saying OH!! it is because of terrorism.
It is fade, because unrealistically much has been said to be on the side of the dictator is nothing but it is the threat of terrorism.
Let me ask for those who gave such usual answer a question?
Why terrorism is not flourished in the west world?
Why terrorists are not able to get a shelter in the west and other democratic states?
The question is I think leads by itself to the answer.
Terrorists could not be able to survive in the afore mentioned countries due to democracy.
Citizens, who are chanced to live under good governance, are guards of democratic value, since they know what democracy is in terms of living in joy and happiness, to live in peace and enjoy the right to life.
Whereas in a country where there is no democracy, like the born example of it, namely Africa, it is a heaven for terrorists to live and do anything what are capable they to do.
Because, there are angered people, by the enemies of democracy and the sponsors of the dictators, that becomes muscles and bullet to the ordinary people.
Let me put it in live example. We know the present situation of Somalia.
Somalia is occupied by the USA backed regime namely Zenawi of Ethiopia.
Both forces have been unleashed uncountable suffering against the innocents of Somalia ordinary citizens.
They made them homless, they made them migrant, and many Somali have passed away as a result of those forces in the name of terrorism as if the ordinary citizen becomes a shelter for the alleged terrorists by their good will.
So it is not surprising if the whole Somalia from child to the aged become anti American states.
The same is true in Ethiopia. The same is true everywhere who have the same fate in the afore mentioned citizens.
By the way, what is the real definition of terrorism?
Here is the real answer,
A government who terrorize its own citizen,
A government who is ruling others, based on biological relationship,
A government who is guiding it self, under the principle of divide and rule is a terrorist.
The westerns have not any real moral right to say the African new breed of terrorism as ally forces of terrorism, since they are terrorizing their own people.
The other contradictory thing is the following.
When the west leaders create an alliance with dictators, they have automatically stood against their own democratic values that they enjoyed at home.
As the ordinary African have moral and life obligation to fight their own dictators by any means available, the western citizens and tax payers also have to say stop their leaders whenever they become an alliance with the world dictators.
Especially, from journalists are much expected in relation to this fact.
Thank you, Mr., Andrew.
