The name Gandhi towers above every other in the political landscape of India for very good reasons. The “Soul” of modern India—Mahatma Gandhi— bore that last name; India’s first and only female prime minister or head of state—Indira Gandhi—married into the name; and Rajiv Gandhi reluctantly made it into politics and became the Prime Minister of India as a Gandhi. They left positive legacies, yet they were assassinated by extremists with exclusive and twisted agendas. And as it turned out, their deaths contributed to the advancement of humanity. What was it about these three ...

Janvier T. Chando provides a succinct and illuminating account of the transformation of men of war into leaders of peace in a region with a chronic history of conflict. The reader comes out from this presentation of the humble origins and rise to prominence of Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Anwar Sadat of Egypt with a better understanding of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the motivation of the key players, their hopes, their fears, and dreams, as well as the hidden and untold forces compelling the players to seek salvation or damnation. This brilliant narration of the two assassinated heads of ...

In this insightful account of those who the Special Counsel Investigation under Robert Mueller subjected to an official inquiry over Russian interference in the 2016 US. Presidential election, and over alleged collusion between officials of Russia and members of the campaign team of Donald Trump, we are presented with developments involving the USA that polarized the country’s different socio-economic and political factions in the and plunged it into a political maze that it is yet to recover from. In an unequivocal manner, Janvier T. Chando presents a coherent account of the genesis, ...

No US. Presidential election has been as dramatic as the 2016 race for the White House. Mavericks rose to prominence from the primaries in both the Republican and Democratic camps, challenged the status quo, exposed the follies of the country's political establishment and vowed to bring a new dawn to America. These unorthodox candidates did so without seeking financial assistance from the groups that traditionally financed political candidates in the past elections. The Republican maverick Donald Trump won the nomination of the party he recently joined, against a long list of seventeen ...

There is some kind of a sweet innocence in being the real thing, the true inheritor of a legacy, the upholder of the identity others strive to be attached to. In this account, we see two narratives that oppose one another, but that ought to complement each other. How do a people so divided by history embrace their common heritage or denominator as the children of Kievan Rus, but who later became known as the frontier people (Ukrainians)? "The Real Ukrainians" is the first part of an account that would take us hand-in-hand through our journey that would make us enlightened regarding the ...

Cameroon is the only country in Africa where those who campaigned, fought and died for the country's freedom and independence from colonial rule have never made it to power, where the ideas and ideals of these union-nationalists are still being suppressed by the unpopular system the colonial master put in place in the country after defeating these civic-nationalists in a bloody war variously described as France’s genocidal war in Africa. This retarding French-imposed system keeps the country trapped in poverty, corruption, underdevelopment, dictatorship, despondence, and cynicism, thereby...

For a people that lost more than half a million lives in a liberation struggle for the independence and reunification of their country yet failed to shake off the oppressive external forces who allowed self-rule and reunification of British Cameroons and former French Cameroun but put their puppets in power in a so-called independent Cameroon, this country known as “Africa in Miniature” is an Orwellian reality. It is hard for a non-Cameroonian mind to imagine that there are tidy solutions or pithy fixes to the big challenges in overcoming the reactionary forces responsible for ...

When it comes to Cameroon, there seems to be an international conspiracy of silence regarding the destiny of this land variously described as "Africa in Miniature" or "The Microcosm of Africa". It is as if it truly embodies the haunted existence of Africa. When talking about dictators, the media giants apparently fail to mention the world's longest-serving non-royal head of state---Paul Biya of Cameroon, as if there is something to hide or as if there is something shameful about the Biya story and the anachronistic system that France and its geopolitical allies imposed on Cameroon by using ...

Historians look at the period from the birth of Jesus Christ known as the Common Era (C.E) or “In the Year of Our Lord” (Anno Domini — A.D) to the Muslim conquest and consolidation of the Levant as the most tumultuous for the Hebrew peoples (Jews and Samaritans) of the Holy Land during the last two millennium until their plight was rivalled by the pogroms and Holocaust of the last century. How did the introduction of multiple monotheistic religions into the quagmire that was the multi-ethnic southern Levant shatter the idyllic illusions that the Roman Empire and later the Byzantine ...

Quando si parla di Camerun, sembra esserci una cospirazione internazionale di silenzio riguardo al destino di questa terra variamente descritta come "Africa in miniatura" o "Il microcosmo dell'Africa". È come se incarna veramente l'esistenza infestata dell'Africa. Quando parlano di dittatori, i giganti dei media sembrano non menzionare il capo di stato che serve da più tempo che non è un monarca --- Paul Biya del Camerun --- come se ci fosse qualcosa da nascondere o come se ci fosse qualcosa di vergognoso nella storia di Biya e il sistema anacronistico sostenuto dalla Francia e dai suoi ...

Apodado por muchos expertos como "La guerra más estúpida del mundo", el conflicto de Ucrania es uno que casi nadie vio en el horizonte en 2010. Sin embargo, ahora tiene casi una década. En este conflicto en Ucrania dividida a partes iguales, la política arriesgada por parte de los actores locales en el país, por parte de Occidente que quiere arrastrar a Ucrania a su órbita, y por parte de Rusia que teme perder Ucrania y su seguridad, en el proceso es la norma. Al mismo tiempo, el mundo observa con aparente impotencia cómo Ucrania se desgarra por las costuras. La mayoría de los ...

EGEMONE IN DIVENIRE è la prima parte del racconto delle egemoni che hanno plasmato il mondo occidentale, una storia millenaria di per sé sull'antica Roma e sulla natura del suo mondo. Ciò coinvolge gli imperi contro cui ha combattuto, le terre e i popoli che ha conquistato, le invasioni "barbariche" che ha sconfitto e non è riuscito a fermare, e l'influenza che ha esercitato in Europa, Africa e Asia orientale (Medio Oriente), rendendolo il bersaglio di altre potenti forze determinate a abbatterlo mentre custodisce la sua civiltà, gli attributi positivi che costituiscono il fondamento ...

Ce récit de Mouammar Kadhafi nous amène à son ascension au pouvoir, aux moments où il était à l'honneur, puis à ses tribulations et à son élimination rapide des développements géopolitiques en Libye dans un processus qui a plongé le pays dans une tourmente que l'état Nord-Africain n'a pas encore récupéré de. Avec perspicacité, lucidité, impartialité, largeur et diligence, Janvier Tchouteu parvient à délimiter les fils complexes qui ont tissé le caractère controversé de Mouammar Kadhafi. Il ne trouve pas seulement la vérité à partir des récits disparates sur ...

En este relato innovador, el autor lleva al lector por el pasillo de los acontecimientos y la historia innovadores hasta la realidad de que hoy es Ucrania, el conflicto de Ucrania, la Europa posterior a la Guerra Fría y el controvertido mundo unipolar liderado por Estados Unidos. La complejidad de Ucrania, su historia, su política y la guerra multifacética que el dividido pueblo ucraniano no anticipó hace dos décadas se vuelve fácil de entender, sentando las bases para una solución a lo que muchos expertos piensan que es un conflicto intratable. El autor lo logró con una perspicacia...

Dubbed by many pundits as “The Most Stupid War in the World,” the Ukraine conflict is one that hardly anyone saw coming back in 2010. However, it is close to a decade old already. In this conflict in the evenly divided Ukraine, brinkmanship by the local players in the country, by the West that wants to drag Ukraine into its orbit, and by Russia that fears losing Ukraine and its security in the process, is the norm. At the same time, the world watches in a seemingly helpless manner as Ukraine gets torn apart at the seams. Most of the governments in the West blame Russia for instigating ...

En un mundo contemporáneo plagado de conflictos y narrativas contradictorias diseñadas para sanear o demonizar a los países participantes, necesitamos una comprensión profunda pero concisa de la esencia de las partes beligerantes para poder emitir buenos juicios, condenar adecuadamente o llevar a cabo acciones justificadas. Es en esa línea que el escritor nos lleva en un vívido viaje a través de los siete siglos de historia polaca que definieron el carácter de la nación, forjaron su identidad y establecieron sus relaciones con sus vecinos de una manera que determina en gran medida ...

El nombre Gandhi destaca sobre todos los demás en el panorama político de la India por muy buenas razones. El “alma” de la India moderna –Mahatma Gandhi– llevaba ese apellido; La primera y única primera ministra o jefa de Estado de la India, Indira Gandhi, se casó con ese nombre; y Rajiv Gandhi entró a regañadientes en la política y se convirtió en Primer Ministro de la India como un Gandhi. Dejaron legados positivos, pero fueron asesinados por extremistas con agendas exclusivas y retorcidas. Y resultó que sus muertes contribuyeron al avance de la humanidad. ¿Qué tenían ...

In questo approfondito resoconto di quelli che lo Special Counsel Investigation sotto Robert Mueller ha sottoposto a un'inchiesta ufficiale sulle interferenze Russe nelle elezioni presidenziali Americane del 2016 e sulla presunta collusione tra funzionari della Russia e membri della squadra elettorale di Donald Trump; l'autore ci presenta gli sviluppi che hanno polarizzato le diverse fazioni socio-economiche e politiche dell'America, e quello ha fatto precipitare il paese in un labirinto politico dal quale deve ancora riprendersi.
