Africa has to get new breed of humans (Opinion)
The Monitor (Kampala)
January 4, 2000By Ssekitooleko Deo
Kampala - I wish to agree with Charles Onyango-Obbo's article,
"Slave Trade TookOur Best, Left Us Chaff" (The Monitor Dec. 08). I
go a step further to suggest that ifAfrica is to rediscover itself,
it must acquire new, improved breeds of not only plantsand animal
species but also humans.
This can be done through cross-breeding with superior human
beings from othercontinents; inviting our relatives, the
Afro-Americans, to come back and occupy ourhighest political and
economic positions, and recalling the colonialists to govern us
fora specific period. The latter can be done by privatising the
political structure of ourgovernments.
With the advent of genetic engineering, we have seen increased
milk production,eaten chicken of only two months old, and acquired
clonal coffee which matures in acouple of years.
All this has been possible because the Agriculture ministry
recognised the potential ofnew improved breeds of crops and
animals.
The same formula can work with human beings.
However retrogressive it may appear, there is no doubt that
Europeans have been thebest breed of human species, followed by
Asians.
At the bottom of the list are black Africans.
The African morphology, dark colouration, greed, lack of
intellect, failure to internalisetheories and lack of interest in
preserving our best things clearly show that we are aninferior
people.
It is universally accepted that any specie that practices
cannibalism against membersof its kind is primitive. Look at
African politicians, butchering whole ethnic groups,starving whole
populations.
Since it is beyond doubt that almost all Africans in positions
of power tend to misuseit, it is logical to conclude that there is
a problem with the stock from which our leaderscome.
Even our intellectuals, public servants and business people are
of poor stock.
In recent times, the American breed of human species has
out-competed theEuropean breed, the main reason being that the
American stock is an improved one.
It is a mixture of the Europe's, Asia's, and Africa's best
breeds.
Americans continue to improve their human stock through the
Green Lottery projectwhereby they admit into the US at least 60,000
superior individuals from all over theworld.
Now, if Americans are so serious about the quality of humans
entering their country,

how could they have bought chaff as slaves, leaving the best
behind?
Let's face the fact that the best were taken, we are descendants
of the chaff and thatis why we cannot live at peace with ourselves
and cannot exploit our potential to thefull.
I wish to suggest that if Africans were evolving at the same
pace with Europeans, thenthose Africans who had attained a high
evolutionary level; both social and biological,were taken away as
slaves and only chaff remained.
Why is it that all African leaders can't think beyond their life
spans?
Almost all of them made constitutions which suited them but not
their nations.
They introduced police regimes, enriched themselves at the
expense of their nationsand jailed or murdered their political
opponents.
Kwame Nkrumah, Milton Obote, Julius Nyerere, Kenneth Kaunda,
Houphouet-Boigny, Kamuzu Banda, etc. were all descendants of the
chaff.
When these sons of the chaff failed to fulfil the independence
promises and abusedpower massively, they were toppled by army
generals who became even worse.
The generals killed, raped, and some even practised cannibalism
- Jean BedelBokassa, Idi Amin, Mengistu Haile Mariam, Mobutu Sese
Seko, Sani Abacha, etc.
Finally, the generals have been replaced with the so-called "new
breed" of African
leaders -- Yoweri Museveni, Paul Kagame, Laurent Kabila, Isias
Aferweki and MelesZenawi.
These leaders mainly captured power through popular revolutions.
But many of themhave since formed one party systems, in some cases
disguised as movements. Theyhave personalised armies, fought each
other, looked on helplessly as their relativesplunder national
treasuries and worse still, they are not prepared to quit
powerpeacefully.
The African intelligentsia is another category of chaff that
pollutes the Africanenvironment.
Most of our professors are opportunists and cannot defend their
opinions.
They change like chameleons and their political beliefs don't
depend on research -Apolo Nsibambi, George Kanyeihamba, Tarsis
Kabwegyere, Adonia Tiberondwa,Edward Rugumayo, etc.
It is in fact amazing that a person of modest education like
Maj. Gen. Salim Salehlectures them on development issues and is the
only one has organised his beliefsinto a philosophy!
Whatever we may say, therefore, the fact remains our stock is of
a poor quality andthere is an urgent need for "restocking."
