More die in Burundi Peace talks – We Whites proudly brought peace – once

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[Mbeki and Zuma broke out in song – yes they started singing – when they achieved “peace” in Burundi. How funny. That was… how many years ago? I can”t remember… and as you can see, they”re still struggling to keep the peace there. I think virtually every ANC “peace deal” which they have negotiated on the African continent has been a big flop.

But do you know what I find damned funny? White people brought a century of peace to all of Africa! It appears to me that Blacks are incapable of making peace among each other!

There are many people out there – many African Americans especially – who have this little line they love using: “There will be peace in Africa when all the Whites are gone!” What junk!

Au contraire – I predict that you will see more and more wars in Africa as time goes by. In fact, don”t be surprised if African countries start breaking apart in the next 100 years as they are torn apart by tribal rivalries. Wait… the WORST is yet to come for Africa. This is only just the beginning.

One day, decades from now, people will marvel, and will be scratching their heads and saying: “How the heck did those White people manage to bring peace to Africa because nobody else has ever managed to do it!”

Yep, we “racists” did some pretty amazing things, and I am having a lot of good chuckles as I watch the rest of the world, working together with all the leaders of Africa, being unable to do even 1/10th of what a couple of million “native” White Africans did! Yep… we did some pretty darned amazing things. We made it look a lot easier than it really was. We have every reason to be extremely proud of our achievements on this continent. Jan]

At least seven people have been killed this week in attacks near Burundi”s capital by the country”s lone remaining rebel group as efforts continue to cement a shaky tentative truce, the army said on Wednesday.

Two civilians, two government soldiers and three fighters from the rebel National Liberation Forces (FNL) were killed during two FNL attacks around Bujumbura on Monday and Tuesday, said army spokesperson Adolphe Manirakiza.

On Tuesday, the FNL launched an attack in the village of Mpanda about 12kms north of Bujumbura in which one soldier was wounded and three rebels were killed, he said.

On Monday, the group ambushed an army patrol on the northern outskirts of the capital in which two soldiers and two civilians were killed, Manirakiza said.

The attacks came as government and FNL representatives were meeting in neighbouring Tanzania in a bid to cement the fragile ceasefire and begin formal peace negotiations.

Those talks ended on Tuesday in Dar es Salaam with the issuance of a joint communique in which the two sides agreed to respect the May 15 truce and committed themselves to a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

They also agreed to resume the ceasefire talks, which had focused on accusations of truce violations which both sides have made, at an unspecified date.

The government has accused the rebels of attempting to disrupt the June 3 local elections while the FNL has said it has only responded to attacks on it by the military.

The FNL is the only one of Burundi”s seven rebel groups not to have signed onto the peace process aimed at ending a devastating 12-year-old civil war in which 300 000 people have been killed.

Zuma praised as peace maker

Meanwhile, the Burundi government on Wednesday paid homage to Jacob Zuma, who was fired as South African deputy president on Tuesday, for the “crucial role” that he played in the peace process in this tiny central African country, struggling to emerge from 12 years of war.

“We pay homage to Mr. Zuma for his crucial role in the Burundi peace process, for his availability and the way he understood all the actors in this conflict”, said Burundi”s governement spokesman Onesime Nduwimana.

Zuma took over from former South African president Nelson Mandela as chief mediator in the Burundi process in 2002.

He succeeded in getting the government and what was the country”s main rebel movement, the Forces for the Defence of Democracy (FDD), to sign an agreement in 2003 that brought peace to 16 of Burundi”s 17 provinces.

“The peace process is today sufficiently advanced for Mr Zuma”s departure not to cause any problems,” declared Nduwimana, emphasising that the “peace process does not depend on one person alone”.

Burundi has embarked on a marathon series of elections destined to get it out of its transitional period by August 19.

South African President Thabo Mbeki announced to Parliament on Tuesday that he was firing Zuma after he was tainted by a corruption scandal. – Sapa-AFP
