Elections in Africa

I am happy about the visit of the ICC Prosecuter Mr. Moreno Ocampo to uganda. I hope that his warnings against elections violence be taken seriousely and ICC take serious legal actions on the political leaders who never want to accept defeat and cause violence. The 2008 Kenya's after elections violence has portrayed a very nasty experience where over 1000 people lost their lives. thank God ICC is investigating. In uganda we need peace during and after eletions.

An African woman

The life of an African woman is not easy. And it is worst when she lives in the village and has not gone to school.

At dawn the poor woman is up on her feet preparing to go to the garden together with other family members. At the farm these people take the same measurement of land to dig.At the end of the digging, the woman has to come home with something to cook for the family.She carries firewood or cassava, potatoes or greens on her head as she comes home.

On reaching home the rest of the people sit to rest but the poor woman does'nt. She goes for water, starts cooking,she has clothes to wash,then in the evening she has to go for weeding if it is the period, because the African men take it that weeding is the work of women. As she weeds she is thinking of what to cook for supper because she is not sensible enough to prepare what is enough for both lunch and supper.

Late from weeding she starts cooking again up to around 10pm when she serves food to the family members, children are woken up from their sleep to eat.

She takes her bath at last as the husband who has been sitting and taking his leisure the whole day awaits her in bed. She has to submit to the husband without any complaint. If she complains, violence starts and she is baeten thorougly.

So this how an African woman spends the rest of her life under the sun.
