[QUOTE]Originally posted by markellion: [QB] You might find this website interesting: http://www.endingstereotypes.org/african_history.html I think distorting history is a useful tool to control people, if you want two groups to fight each other you just have to create a history and feed it to the two groups making them consider each other eternal enemies. You can convince people Africa is a hopeless continent and has been the heart of darkness for all of history so even someone with good intentions thereby create more confusion and ignorance.

We do know early Europeans were impressed by the cities they came to like Benin, and liked to compare them to those in Europe. Just because the old city isn't preserved doesn't diminish what the people of Benin and other places in Africa accomplished. These were complex societies and don't have to be compared to other Civilizations, Africans were traveling all over the world and trading as far away as India and maybe even America centuries before Mohammad was even born. The king of ancient Ghana was said to be the richest man on the face of the Earth, and this wasn't possible if it weren't for good policies in controlling things like inflation and taxation, encouraging entrepreneurship. Arabs traveled hundreds of miles to Timbuktu to learn under black professors [QUOTE] STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE IDEALS OF DEMOCRACY, RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE RULE OF LAW From the day Botswana was born as a nation in 1966, its people have struggled hard to preserve their democratic way of life, and at the same time take advantage of their rich cultural diversity. These values were not imported, and they certainly were not imposed from outside. In other words, participatory democracy did not come with the advent of independence. It had always been part of our culture. Our traditional Kgotla system of democracy provided a forum at which all stakeholders could sit together, consult and map out strategies for community development. What happened at independence was simply the advancement of the traditional Kgotla system to a higher level of parliamentary democracy. The stability and social harmony that Botswana has been so blessed to enjoy over the past thirty-seven (37) years of independence is inherent in our culture of peace and tolerance. Batswana, from time immemorial have revered the saying that "it is better to jaw jaw than to war war". This has enabled us to focus our efforts on what binds us together and not what divides us.
