A rather ungracious and preached diatribe about something claimed as a significant step in tribal africa. Still to fully embrace fair minded, far reaching western values of, democracy and the rule of law.

Africa, opps, Kenya the home of the bloody mau mau inserection and ethnic cleansing, manifesting as mass brutal murder!

I truly hope Kenya, a rather small part of total Africa, may have grown up? And in so doing have left this resentful parsimonious, preachy juvenile, arrogance personified, Author, merely masquerading as mature adult, floundering in its wake?

As for Africa having grown up? South Africa seems to be riddled with corruption, cronyism and nepotism in a sea of divided wealth and poverty!

While some of its neighbors as exampled by Zimbabwe, are ruled by virtual dictators!

As for preaching, Desmond TuTu, who I rarely ever disagree with, is a fine example the fair minded, could not just follow, but admire tremendously!

As one does when applied to a giant hero of African history, Nelson Mandela, truly its very finest!

What do you expect?

This admirable author has clearly stated fact about a judgement on voting. Boss-man Obama didn't visit his ancestral Kenya due to its un-British chaps. But he went to Ghana where it's jolly decent. These people may soon aspire to Australian heights of political honour.

Having spent time in Africa, I would simply say that this one good example is outweighed by 1000s of bad examples.
