quote of the day - chissano

this years winner of filthy-rich-mo ibrahim's (very disputed) price for achievement in african leadership, former mozambiquan president joaquim chissano (now also filthy-rich) wins my heart with this quote:

“well, if the west is concerned about china’s human rights record [as a reason to deter increasing trade with africa], then perhaps african countries should reconsider trading with america because of their war in iraq and their torture of prisoners in guantanamo...”

standing applaus, chissano!
at least china is honest about what they are doing!

you can read more about the mo ibrahim price for achievement in african leadership

HERE (english)
and
HER (på norsk)

now u just have to wait for a more critical review of the price,
i'll be back! :*

(unfortunately - even if little charming mo ibrahim was waving this insane amount of money in the face of uncle bob of zimbabwe i doubt it would make him step down and go chill - like old and senile men should do...!)
