Africa's Best Leader” not invited to G8 Summit

The G8 summit usually invites the top performing African leaders to attend
and participate in the summit, but this year the 37th G8 summit failed to
acknowledge and invite 'Africa's best leader', President John Evans
Atta-Mills.

On May 21, 2011, five days before the commencement of the summit, Ban Ki
Moon, UN Secretary General, in a stopover at Accra, en route to Yamoussoukro
for the investiture of President Alassane Ouattara, according to the NDC
propagandists, described President Mills as “Africa's best leader.”

Many political commentators expected President Mills to be part of Africa's
delegation to the summit since he was supposedly ranked as Africa's topmost
performing leader by the UN Secretary General, but this was not the case.

In the eyes of the G8, Algeria's Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Egypt's Prime
Minister Essam Sharaf, , Ethiopia's Meles Zenawi, Equatorial Guinea's
Teodoro Nguema Obiang, Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal, South African President
Jacob Zuma, Tunisia's Beji Caid el Sebsi, and Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria,
were deemed to be Africa's top performing leaders and were subsequently
invited to participate in the summit.

On June 3, 2007, President John Agyekum Kufuor left Accra for Berlin, to
attend the 33rd G8 Summit.

That year's summit focused on economic issues, poverty reduction,
intellectual property rights and Africa. Other African leaders invited to
the summit were President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, President Hosni
Mubarak of Egypt, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria, President
Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal and President Umaru Yar'Adua of Nigeria.

In July 2008, John Agyekum Kufuor left Accra for Toyako-Hokkaido, Japan, to
attend the G8 summit that took place from July 7th to 9th, 2008. As expected
at the summit were Presidents Umaru Yar' Adfua of Nigeria, Abdoulaye Wade of
Senegal, Avdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria, Thabo Mbeki of South Africa,
Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania and Prime Minister Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia.
These same countries have consistently been invited to the summits and
Ghana, under the leadership of President Mills, has been conspicuously
missing from these summits, a judgment of the leadership provided by the
Mills-Mahama NDC administration.

The G8 is an unofficial annual forum for the leaders of the eight main
industrialised countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the
United Kingdom and the United States.

Traditionally, the host country of the G8 summit sets the agenda for
negotiations, but world events caused the list of topics to expand,
including such issues such as the Fukushima nuclear accident the European
sovereign debt crisis, the conflict in Libya, Iran's nuclear programme,
Syria's crackdown on pro-democracy protests, and the selection of a new
managing director for the International Monetary Fund.

G-8 INVITES THEIR PUPPETS!

This is plain silly! We all know that these imperialists carefully choose
and pick those leaders who tell them what they want to hear. They only add
one or two credible leaders among the list of their chosen puppets just not
to give the game away! If by this, the NPP is trying to tell Ghanaians that
Ethiopia's Meles Zenawi, Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal, President Hosni Mubarak
of Egypt, Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, and ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor
of Ghana are to be taken as some of the best Presidents Africa has ever had,
they need to think again! From the way imperialism works, the more they
praise our leaders, the more we should suspect them as traitors and puppets!

What makes the NPP think that the leaders of the 8 richest countries in the
world are the best placed people to determine the best leaders of some of
the poorest regions on the planet? Why do they not simply tell us that
colonialism never happened, and the Trans-Atlantic slate trade is a myth
invented by communists? And that far from keeping themselves busy promoting
puppets and organizing regime change all over the place against
"non-complying", patriotic, and often democratically elected leaders, the
major pre-occupation of the G-8 remains the maximization of profits for
their multinational corporations?

It is a shame that the NPP has been defecating in public for years! But to
draw attention to their disgusting habit with so much pride is simply
mind-blowing! If indeed, President John Evans-Atta Mills is "Africa's Best
Leader" as the Statesman claims to be the case, that would be a good reason
why he would not be invited by those "greedy b*st**ds" behind the G-8 who
wish to control the wealth of Africa!
