Hi All

In spite of low temperatures in Copenhagen, Africans hopes are very high, and have vowed they must bring something back home at whatever cost

Prof Wangari Maathai was on plenary, talking about Impact of Climate Change on River Sagana, and how it has caused much suffering, which must be stopped.

Many delegates from Africa were in full attendant, and they applauded most of the time, when she stressed the need to ensure Climate Justice is implemented

Mr Musikari Kombo was the man of the day, as he itemized step by step how Kenya stands to suffer if we don’t adapt to new technologies to reverse Climate Change. He accused the West for using Africa as a punching bag and test centers, for discarded technologies which cause more harm that benefit.

Africa resolved that the West engage Africa when they want to make technology transfers. The Danish Delegates were found on receiving end when Information was leaked that they plan to scuttle the Kyoto Agreement. They were forced to apologize profusely, as most African nations almost boycotted to engage in discussions until the Danish team retract their statements.

A Uganda Delegate did Africa proud when she splendidly linked spread of AIDS/HIV to increase climate Change activities. She said most people in Africa and Uganda are experiencing increased sex drive due to hot environments, hence engaging in sex, thus leading to spread of AIDS/HIV.

The Scientific Panel, where great Scientists were deliberating mathematical models, very few Delegates attended, which showed we have to up our initiatives.

Finally, the unity of Africans at Copenhagen meeting will at least make the West make a concrete resolution. Also ensuring that no more idling of African delegates, they do meet mostly in the evening to plan for any upcoming events, so that they are not taken by surprise.

Also Dr Kaudia, from the Ministry of Environment, is doing a good job for debunking those difficult scientific terms, so that all are in the know.

All are looking at Next Week, which is going to be a very defining
moment, as a political situation must be reached.
