For how long we Africans continued with such tragedy, keep our daughters, children and mothers suffering in poverty, ignorance, human right violence, hunger, illiteracy, war, conflict, diseases, rape, commercial sex and prostitutions,
Why Africans leaders won’t to hear this voice screaming out of their palace, fenced paradises, guarded by well train and frequently feed soldiers. Who is going to take the responsibility for these all failure and human, social, crises? I ham asking on the behalf of the innocent children, women and the poor nations have no any means to speak out about what is going on in heir daily life in their particular locality

Each time I look at Ann Jones’s face I see the problems we have in africa. I find it difficult even to write the words I want to write about our countries, she has seen more suffering for the women and children than I have exprienced in my life time.
As an african this is my message. It’s time for our African Leaders to take the responsibility to end the suffering of it’s people

For how long will Africa continue being poor? We have a lot of everything.We are the richest continent yet the poorest, Why? It is because we lack cooperation.For how long shall have civil war,for how long shall we continue to buy weapons and who are suffering all these consequences.Obviously children and women.It is time for super power countries to open doors and allow the African countries to export their goods.
