JM,

Great question. Jendayi danced around it, never answering anything. Jendayi epitomizes the general sheer incompetence of the Bush administration. She exhibits poor policy assesment skills and also lacks diplomatic etiquette.

How can she discuss U.S. foreign policy in Africa and fail to mention the tectonic shift in policy emphasis after 911, from focus on ‘promotion of democracy’ towards focus on ‘security and counter-terrorism’ .

This is what ultimately affected Africa’s democratization process negatively. This is why there still looms trouble in Congo, Darfur, and other hotspots. This is why elections were rigged in Ethiopia. This is why the Ugandan constitution was torn to remove term limits. This is why elections were rigged in Kenya.

Simply because those leaders ‘perceived’ to be U.S. counter-terrorism allies get unequivocal U.S. support in their anti-democratic missions in their respective countries; and during elections. This is why Meles Zenawi rigged the Ethiopian election and why Museveni dismantled presidential term limits in Uganda with the U.S. turning a blind eye.

When Kenyan citizens of Islamic faith started disappearing into foreign (Ethiopian) cells for U.S. conducted counter-terrorism interrogations (renditions) , Kibaki was a willing ally. Islamic human rights activists trooped to ODM’s Raila Odinga to express concerns. It was clear the U.S. was uncomfortable with Raila’s temerity to question why his fellow citizens of Islamic faith were disappearing into the Bush-Cheney torture interrogation cells.

After that fateful meeting, Kibaki unleashed the NSIS on a propaganda drive against Raila having signed a MOU with Muslims to turn Kenya into a Sharia State. Every Tom, Dick and Harry knows Jendayi’s team had made up their minds whom they supported in the 2007 election from that point onwards. From then on, even opinion polls showing Raila in clear lead were rebutted by Ranneberger himself, with International Republican Institute (IRI) polls showing a race ‘too close to call’. It was clear who was the real strategic thinker behind the 2007 election fiasco.

It was not an accident that Museveni and Jendayi’s boss were the first to congratulate Kibaki after the election.

And Jendayi Frasier is silent about how the Bush era of counter-terrorism intelligence gathering affected democracy and U.S policy in Africa????Pleeease!

Bob_K,
Jendayi is still a big PNU sympathizer and very close to Judy kibaki.

You wonder why She has just returned from Kenya even after she was let go by Obama? You should have seen her face when I expressed that the elections were rigged.
