Today we lost a true African patriot: Africa's and Zimbabwe's most iconic musicians died on January 23, 2019. Simply rest in peace "Tuku" - RIP. The voice of Oliver Mtukudzi has given us comfort and will remain with us for generations, and his career ranging from white minority ruled Rhodesia to majority-led Zimbabwe, and series of hits across Africa and international along with several African musicians he become a nation builder: where it was necessary to criticize, he would, and where it was necessary to praise, he would.

President Museveni holds a secure place in the politics of Africa's leaders, but it can be argued that Uganda never quite served M7 the way he deserved - the best examples of his brilliance can be easiest found on and among Ugandan comics, musicians with sense of cash: God always gives his best to those who leave the choice with him.

Africa: The Voice of Professor Patrick Lumumba

Nuclear for Africa by: President Yoweru Kaguta Museveni : Why nuclear energy should be part of Africa’s energy mix ?  Africa has the least nuclear power of any continent in the world. All the largest economies in the world have nuclear power as part of their energy mix. There are three reasons why African countries should pursue the nuclear power option as part of their energy mix. The first is the continent’s dire energy crisis. Secondly, Africa derives most of its energy from fossil fuels. These are finite and nonrenewable and dwindling in supply. Thirdly, nuclear energy can help countries meet targets under the Paris Agreement to reduce carbon emissions. Nuclear can help them reach that goal because carbon emissions linked to nuclear-powered energy are relatively small. In addition, supply is reliable and prices stable and predictable. Energy supply on the continent is critically low. There are also the challenges of lack of access, poor reliability and high costs. A rising population, growing middle class and growing urbanisation would mean more energy is needed for domestic and industrial purposes. Energy is also critical to the socioeconomic well-being of the majority of poor Africans and Africa’s agenda for sustainable development. Nuclear energy has the potential to mitigate these burdens by contributing to the continent’s energy mix.

Africa: power in your dream

In 2018, Bryan Caplan wrote the book "The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money".  What makes new technology and education due to skills from our own time  experience? Bryan Caplan is concerned about the disruptions in human capital development, and the inability to think a thought longer than five centimeters. After  several years of discussing brain drain and black vs white education gap  - as if it wasn't enough to think for family, relatives and students in Africa struggle to fund all the years of study: a lot of money is needed to achieve an intellectual university degree, is it worth it? But  it is a question that will always remain unanswered: why is it so? Such  questions can be crucial to almost everything related to the culture  and quality of universities. Yet, a new world order has emerged that  looks at the current university system with deep skepticism, and in 2003  Robert Kagan wrote about "Paradise and Power" how the elite in some countries of the world invest their money in Panama Papers and send their children to prestigious universities, to get the best education.     Social anthropologist Marcel Mauss article (1926) ,'Critique interne de la"Legende de l'Abraham'  influenced Africa, but he never published a book, Mauss especially  challenged a racist anthropology of African societies known as the "Hamitic hypothesis" and well-known to students of Africa; it  states that everything of value ever found in Africa was brought there  and linked it with the agitation of the Jewish question that still  applies around the world - a basic argument in his essay is that  the social category "race" is not a category that denotes vulnerability,  but a categorization system derived from an analysis which he believes  is "unforgettable." And what about Claude Lévi-Strauss ? The founder of Structuralism  –⁠ he published a lot, but not in the beginning, because then he sat  and thought and read and noted; it took him four years before anything  bigger come up. In return he then published a book that changed the way  we think about kinship. He would have lost money today if he had global funding, or from a research organization: "yours is empty", they would say about his research.  

Africa: Goodbye, university

Music is a moral law: "It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form." - PLATO (classical Greek philosopher, mathematician)  Keep focus with more lines attributed to Plato:  Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul,-   Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its   virtue,-  Musical innovation is full of danger to the State, for when modes of music change, the laws of the State always change with them,-   Give me the music of a nation; I will change a nation’s mind,-  If you want to measure the spiritual depth of society, make sure to mark it’s music,-  Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back,-  Those who wish to sing always find a song,-  At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.   It's deep - browsing through the works of Plato, hunting for the source of a quotation and several textual searches for words, phrases and quotes on sites that offer his collected works, along with other works by classical authors. Just have to admit that in the reading, not yet read everything Plato wrote; there's several dialogues, and then mostly pieces from his works. Reading the entire Republic, sadly not, but have it available for another try and have to ask: Why did Ugandan artistes sold their souls to politics ?   "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!"﻿  - Bob Marley  - Let's keep singing.  - Let's keep the hope alive.  - Let's keep imagining the Uganda we want.

What is stated in the Freedom House 2018 overview: Civil and opposition politicians cannot influence the governance of the country through elections. Opinion polls in the DRC are rare and difficult to implement. The few that have come, give different outcomes after the election 30th.dec.2018, but nothing indicates that the regime's candidate was in favor of victory.  In the days after the election, both the Internet and the possibilities of sending text messages were closed in the DRC, according to the authorities to "avoid unrest". The country with 84 million inhabitants is important for the stability of the region, incl. South Sudan. Therefore, the situation is of course also a theme for world leaders. The DRC regime is under pressure to ensure that the election process is completed with a correct and fair outcome.  France convened a meeting on the DRC in the UN Security Council 6th.jan. 2019, and the African Union /AU, which have made an election observation effort, demand: respect for the result. Opposition candidates promise more democracy, millions of new jobs every year and a better future.  No one should have illusions of quick change for the better by a power shift, but the sitting regime deserves in any case not to continue. However, the slowness in the count can also have other causes. The DRC Catholic Church, which had a large number of election observers, reports that it has seen numbers that show a clear winner. The church does not give a name, but the statement is intended as a message to the regime not to try cheating. It's not hard to imagine that one of the opposition candidates, Martin Fayulu or Félix Tshisekedi, has won, but that those in power are trying to find ways to manipulate the result. Joseph Kabila Governement candidate is former Interior Minister Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary
