02/02/2008: "Each continent needs its own form of leadership"

Although Kenya has a strong economy, the botched elections that recently took place in Kenya have placed this beautiful country on the "Failed State" list with other African countries that are using the western style democracy to elect its leaders.

Africa needs a form of government that speaks its culture and traditions. In many areas of Africa, the influence and importance of Tribal Leadership cannot be dismissed. Any system of democracy that is developed must take into consideration the reality of tribalism.

Africa needs a think tank comprised of "the best minds" that can develop a form of democracy that speaks uniquely to the African experience, in the best interest and consideration of tribalism inclusive of advice from the Elders. In tribal tradition, when one of the "sons" of the tribe is running for office, it is expected that most members of that tribe will support him.

[ Maybe tribalism would be better for Europeans, too, but people get insulted when I say that. Is tribalism inherently more primitive than democracy? No, because it takes into account more factors of real life and not this fantasy world of politics and economics. ]
