Many a time dishonest "leaders" hide behind this umbralla to subject innocent citizens to unspeakable horrors, the international community have no chioce but sit on the sidelines and watch! Because legally, every nation must take care of her own problems!This the other ugly side of independence!This is to me like legal domestic abuse!! The UN is at the moment wrestling with this issue.I contend that individual right should take precident over national sovereinty,what you think? Koffi Anan, peace be on to him, is concerned about the wellfare of national integrity but what should the world community do in cases of massive "international domestic abuse!!" Should African countries join in forming an all African peace keeping Force to forster Democracy? The hard question is "empetus" which African state will spear head such an endeavour given the nature of their own domestic structure and that of their "leader" friends.When it is all said and done takeaway all the spelling errors and bad grammar, what Africa needs is not heartless interlectuals but feeling humanbeings who have the odacity to face her problems from their hearts inspite of their weaknesses and humaness! sincerely karl >From: momodou olly-mboge <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: The Gambia and related-issues mailing list ><[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: ON THE QUESTION OF SOVEREINTY? >Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 08:05:12 PDT > >HI, >Buharry, you are right, it is time to focus our energies on other issues. >History will out the truth.
