First we confront the grudges of class discrimination, religious and racial discriminations. And in Africa, tribalism has caused more collateral havoc in civil wars in the Congo, Sudan, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda and other African countries than all the catastrophic years of Aparthied during colonialism and new-colonialism.<BR/><BR/>Humans are just becoming more existentialist and minimalist and all the violent protests and wars are the outbursts of hysteria and melancholia.<BR/><BR/>If the unemployed millions of youths in Nigeria are not on rampage and prefer Internet Scams to looting and wrecking properties, then I prefer them to the demons on rampage in France, the Middle East, Iraq and other parts of the world.<BR/><BR/>It is better to swindle me if you can than suicide-bomb me.<BR/><BR/>These rampaging youths should come to Nigeria and learn from us. We will teach them there there are other ways of escape from the tribulations of this turbulent world. <BR/><BR/>France is maltreating them, because they are not bona fide pure and true French citizens. They are illegal and illegal immigrants who should leave the Eldorado of the Western World and return to their motherland Africa to join hands with us to develop Africa and stop fleeing to America, Europe and Asia to disgrace themselves hustling for a living begging for crumbs of leftovers and dumps like rats, dogs and pigs. The wretched of the earth.The outcasts of the developed world.EKENYERENGOZI Michael Chimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05034754267261591802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13689509.post-1131497161158668992005-11-08T16:46:00.000-08:002005-11-08T16:46:00.000-08:00Just the mere use of the word: "intifada" tells me...Just the mere use of the word: "intifada" tells me many pundits do not understand the dynamics of events in France. What is happening can not be equated to the cause of the Palestinians. Not that the writer of the article has made that claim, but the use of the word "intifada" is suggestive. <BR/><BR/>While it might seem there is a religious undertone; Islam is just playing a "confounding role" in the scheme of things, and not the real cause. <BR/><BR/>What is manifesting is just a case of decades of bad policies and wrong tactics on both sides. It is multifaceted at the very least.<BR/><BR/>For instance, how can a nation cater for a teaming immigrant population if it lacks official data on race and ethnicity? France does not keep data on race and ethnicity. <BR/><BR/>Then how about the first generation of immigrants rather than finding ways to make meaningful inroads into their adopted society, and assimilating the style and culture of their new world; many withdrew, assumed a minimalist mindset, and existed in a state of self-imposed lockdown? <BR/><BR/>Today, a sizeable portion of second and even third generation French nationals of African descent can't even speak proper and fluent French- in a country where the natives are really fussy about their language and always appreciate well-spoken and articulated speech. <BR/><BR/>It is only when the immigrants are ready to challenge and change the sociopolitical dynamics of their world that their plight will begin to turn positively. Waiting for the government to act is not enough. And turning Molotov's cocktails into shot puts is nothing but mere expressions of blind, spontaneous, adolescent rage and frustration that will frizzle soon.Imnakoyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09110573313679680800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13689509.post-1131465228374365392005-11-08T07:53:00.000-08:002005-11-08T07:53:00.000-08:00I agree with you totally on this topic and I don't...I agree with you totally on this topic and I don't think many people understand what's going on in Paris.
