Bisa Kdei - Saa - Offical Video
Apparently the moral of the tale is saying be careful - as who you think are your friends are not always your friends..
When you have something people want many may come to you. When they feel you have nothing, you may find yourself alone.
I suspect we've all had some experience of that, or something similar
It's life
Happy Monday - top a de morning to ya!

Being British
Being able to travel, ( funds permitting) relatively freely.
Thank god for that
What is it about the British passport that makes it possible.
I love my passport .
But it is perhaps, the biggest symbol of cultural imperialism, outside of skin colour and language spoken
When we begin to look at any passport and feel the same, and grant each individual the same privileges
When we no longer judge the content of ones character from the colour of the passport,
When we refrain from placing others onto the scale of human worth.. of intelligence, as a result,
When the right to travel freely is granted to everyone, then perhaps this globalization thing, will be more than a myth, and something to be enjoyed and explored by all, and not just a few
I'm British, but I refuse to be blind to the injustices of others
Is that also being British?.. or is it simply being me.

The OAU - Organisation of Africa Unity circa 1963 - now known as the A.U - African Union
"Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences".
- Marcus Garvey -
'Addis Ababa means New Flower.
It was founded in 1887, by Emperor Menelik II, by the site of a hot spring. Addis Ababa is a large, sprawling, hospitable city with 2 million people. It is important as a focal point of the struggle to end colonial occupation, and the center for the organization of African unity and sovereignty.
Through the efforts of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, representing the Monrovia Group of African states, and President Sekou Toure of Guinea, acting on behalf of the Casablanca Group, the leaders of 32 independent African states were brought together at Addis Ababa in May 1963. After two days of speeches, a charter creating the Organization of African Unity (OAU) was approved on 25 May (Africa Day).
The charter was signed within half an hour the next day as 30 heads of state and prime ministers mounted the podium in groups of four to non-stop thunderous applause. Addis Ababa was alive with excitement. Abdel Nasser, Kwame Nkrumah, Jomo Kenyatta, Leopold Senghor, and all the other great founders of Africa's post colonial states were there. Together they went out and planted trees to symbolize African unity;. [click]
