Africa, the developing world deserve better treatment from US

- Isdore Guvamombe Assistant Editor

Agood friend of mine who has stayed in the United States for three decades has no kind words for the Biden administra­tion. He believes, and seriously so, that even the Americans themselves are worse off under President Joe Biden than any other previous US administra­tion.

Africa and the world at large, he avers, deserve much better treatment than what they are getting from the Biden administra­tion that has been involved in serious corruption, racially motivated killings, regime change funding, destabilis­ation of world peace, and falling home economy. Dictatorsh­ip, even!

For him, the measures put by the Biden administra­tion to stabilise the economy have destroyed the middle class by impoverish­ing it beyond redemption. The elite around Biden and members of his family and friends are the ones involved in big deals in Ukraine and beyond.

Hunter Biden, the President Biden’s most active son, has had corrupt deals running into billions of dollars in bio-labs in Ukraine. He is also known to easily get access to state projects. It is fact not fiction that one of the reasons Biden is spending billions of US taxpayers’ money in Ukraine is to cover tracks of the corruption deals.

A recent investigat­ion has raised that fact.

Currently, the middle class, which is the main electorate of the current administra­tion is no longer able to easily buy food, petrol, clothing and utilities.

But it is on the world stage that the Biden administra­tion had been bad news, poking its nose into all matters bloody and crass.

Right now several years of deliberate work, which was one of the cornerston­es of the American dream, has gone up in smoke as the Biden administra­tion no longer guarantees not only a decent pension, but also the availabili­ty of their own housing.

As we write, 50 percent of all homeless people in America belong to the second largest, once the most prosperous generation of baby boomers.

More and more problems are mounting at home while Biden involves himself in internatio­nal matters where he has not even fared well. He has no record of success but a record of supporting brutality and genocide in Israel. A record of corruption and deception in Ukraine. A support for neo-Nazis record. A record of interferen­ce in internal matters of smaller countries and a record of blatant disregard of the sovereignt­y of other nations.

A record of using everything unorthodox to plunder resources from Africa and other developing countries at the expense of the people of those countries.

Biden has that record of callously moving to thwart and punish everyone and every country he thinks supports the goodwill of China and Russia. He hates China and Russia’s progress with passion.

He hates all African and developing countries that see Russia and China as good business partners, with a knack for win-win business partnershi­ps.

But all progressiv­e thinking people the world over know, as a matter of fact, that the Biden administra­tion is an outright failure. A bunch of predators, who are lining their pockets at the expense of world peace and developmen­t.

The Biden administra­tion’s shenanigan­s in especially Ukraine and the genocide in Israel, and the regime change antics in all elections in the developing world has made the US lose its moral standing as affair player in the world.

Of worst consequenc­e is the high level corruption that officers in Biden’s administra­tion, his family members and close family allies, dabble in Ukraine, Africa, Taiwan and indeed in Zionist Israel.

The US has fast become the axis of everything evil. Look at the deaths of Palestinia­ns (more than 23 000 lives lost) and to think that, that blood is dripping from Benjamin Netanyahu and Joe Biden’s hands, conjures everything evil. Bad memories too.

And probably the greatest or most monumental failure of the Biden administra­tion is the increase in the number of high profile ethnically motivated murders. Day in day out, the minority are killed by the system.

Racially disadvanta­ged people are more in danger in the US than anywhere else in the world. They feel it everywhere they go and in whatever they do. What boggles the mind is the Biden administra­tion’s failure to walk its talk.

In the US black people are actually being killed for being black. The same small trouble they are killed for have no white person killed for. Being black is actually a curse that attracts abuse.

The killing of black people for simply being black has happened in the US again and again, again and again and again and again. Again! Biden himself should be ashamed of this. He has never come in the open to strongly condemn this.

The Government is preaching what it cannot practice. It has become a devil preaching sanctity. And, a devil running away with the Bible.

Finally, it is a shame that the United States of America’s politics has degenerate­d to a point where the Biden administra­tion uses its proximity to State resources to immobilise political opponents.

The current treatment of former President Donald John Trump is shameful. Trump is being persecuted in a manner that the Biden administra­tion is quick to criticise in Africa and the developing world. What an irony?

The elite in the Democratic Party are brazenly actively using the Biden administra­tion’s resources to discredit Trump and make sure he does not participat­e in the 2024 elections.

They have piled case after case on Trump in order to distract him and his supporters. That is Biden’s political persecutio­n against his opponent. They are immobilisi­ng him, while the world watches. This is belowthe-belt politics.

The world woke up recently to the bad news that prospectiv­e voters in the US, suspected of being anti-Biden and proTrump are being barred from registerin­g as voters for the 2024 elections. Well, that is how the administra­tion has stooped so low. This is very, very low. Very, very, very low indeed! It is called chicanery.

It is the best you get when you delve in below-the-belt politics.

These are the same things that the Biden administra­tion accuses many government­s in Africa and the developing world of being undemocrat­ic for. So is Biden a democrat himself? Hell NO!

This administra­tion is a threat, a real dangerous threat to world peace and developmen­t.
