ANNE COLLINS: Welcome again to the Africa Report in the capital Nairobi on

the second day of the Extraordinary Economic Summit that you have organised with all other countries here in

Nairobi and people very much from outside who are come here for this Summit want to join

in expressing their concern about what is happening in some places there especially in

Madagascar but most importantly what has been taking place around the world against the

people who fight for one thing or the other in order to protect the common good

of many people around the region trying to get a better life for themselves so let's now see what is being described

as Paul Pelosi attack by some analysts as some people try to use other countries war as their own political game. What can

you tell us more specifically? My question is why would these people using political stakes as another way of playing in wars would try to create strife or attacks such

that it's such an intense and painful one where people not only lose their lives but they also end up sustaining life

destabilising in terms of our existence there? And after all they are going for a bigger dream for

themselves because they've concluded that the existing African policy of cooperation with the rest should be dissolved for some new way of domination and

control which needs total subordination of entire continent on behalf of few small people somewhere else at all cost even before our people win fair peace and true prosperity through developing our economies without economic destruction? So we must first understand why somebody

would write or speak something like that while seeing political gains of his own in doing so? And if nobody takes care of you I suggest you find your own solution to think off it; where I am concerned instead of making fun of him you should rather look for possible other way of how

to help him out rather than turn your nose as I'm recommending.

If Mr. Speaker doesn't do it he still finds some kind of way to play into it like it's normal and we should just continue it. But then again that's not what was intended why creating unnecessary taunts and dividing people when

those who are now coming together to work out some policies that might serve interests of Africans with a particular emphasis on development in east and central Africa in general?
