We The People: An Engagement Not To Be Ignored

The era of a leader without the consent of the people is long gone. This is a continuation of the blog’ Lone Player And The Game Lovers ‘posted on the 7/26/13. The recent events as it happens in Egypt I did indicate has potential danger as a result of lack of leadership especially coming from the United States political establishments . That inability to call it by its name –coup, as expected is turning blind eye to situation that requires political will/leadership.

The world requires honesty, a leadership that can continuously speak out without what I would call geopolitical policy of interest. Should we presume that no one anticipated the bloodbath of last week?Surely, the consequence of military take over in the 21^st century has the tendency especially in countries that has witnessed the long reign of dictatorship a pent up anger waiting to erupt. Surely this shouldn’t come as a surprise because this part of the world like and democratic country deserve better if not the best.

United State as the most visible leader of the world shouldn’t be ambiguous when it comes to issues of democratic principle as doing so would give no voice to the voiceless and on the long run compromise what we all believe is the only system that currently works.As a continent on the part to democratization nostalgic of the saying ‘as good as it get’,felt bad as in the case of Egypt where it is as bad as it unfolds.

The face of African continent has changed with the wave we came to associate as Arab Spring. The old order would find it difficult to maintain its status as the case has shown of in this case Egypt. Egyptians has this classic created forever in the hearts and minds of any country within the continent in this 21^st century to reject any form of imposed rulership. Africans has waken up and writings on the wall must be read by any would be leader to never ignore the people any longer and I hope the have got the desired right meaning.

This is a continent that leaders needs to reassure its women/youths that their future is not being taken for granted. This is the first part towards creating a social cohesion that would help uplift the millions of future leaders on which the continents growth rest.
