Good to read from you again!

Africa should at least be satisfied that a giant step has been taken to redress series of injustice perpetrated against people of African descent in America over the years. What looked impossible in the days of MLK has become a reality today. That, my brother is one big thing to rejoice about.

As in all human endeavours, changes come gradually but surely. Whatever may be President Obama's African policy during his tenure will be a starting point where others will build upon in future. Jesse Jackson stood as an independent, made his impact and left. Obama moved further, gained the endorsement of a major political party and became the president.

We may not have arrived yet, but we will get there some day. Like MLK, I have a dream that one of these days American presidents will be grilled on their African policy before elections because Africa will one day become so strategic in international affairs that it cannot be ignored anymore. I wait the day.
