I am a National Security specialists who currently works in Washington D.C. (insert your own joke here). For myself individual and national sovereignty is sacrosanct, populist, neo-marxist or fascist trends and ideologies despite espousing democratic rhetoric are anything but democratic and represent a threat that must be dealt with. – In addition, democracy must be modeled on the respect for individual liberty, personal sovereignty, with its accompanying political-rights, which when combined with free-market economic principles, represents a good for society. If you have stumbled across this blog and think that you are going to convert me to either respecting or accepting other systems as just different do not waste yours, or more importantly my time.

Curtains fell on the South Africa-Carribean diaspora conference in Kingston, Jamaica with delegates from the continent and the Caribbean islands pledging solidarity and reaffirming their commitment to unity amongst African descendants.

In a veiled reference to Haitian political crisis and several hotspots in Africa, Foreign Affairs Minister Nkosazana DlaminiZuma said Africans elsewhere had a "duty" to support and defend the rights of those who were still struggling for self-determination in the Carribean and in Africa.

The three-day summit, which was attended by politicians, academics, business and civil society organs, deliberated on a range of issues including debt cancellation, peace and security, culture gender equality in move to strengthen cultural and political ties amongst Africans.

"If we started seriously co-operating among ourselves and between ourselves, our partners will interpret us and understand that we are determined to develop our regions and that we need partners for development.

"Otherwise they will treat us as inferior and stick to the donor-beggar paradigm. We cannot afford for this to happen," said Dlamini Zuma.

"We have to be united and undertake united actions in a number of crucial areas. That in President Fidel Castro's words, we should globalise solidarity. Our strength is in our unity and through unity in action,"

For Africa Renaissance to become a reality, Dr Dlamini Zuma elaborated, Africans ought to do what needs to done.

"Nobody will do it for us," she warned.

"Accordingly, we are determined to send a message of hope to the African continent and the Caribbean that through unity in action, our historic mission must and will succeed," she said.

The conference was held under the theme: "Towards Unity and United Action by Africans and the African Diaspora in the Caribbean for a Better World". -
