Haha..........meda wo ase!  Ampa o!  I still feel this question was not properly responded to but it was expected.  "Put aside emotion and deal with hard, cold facts"  well the fact is that the British was forced to abolish the system of enslavement due to the fear of the Kmtyw resistance meeting them on their doorsteps.........those are the facts.........and to say anything other than that is irresponsible at best.............

I beat you to it!!  I wished we could have focused more on what specifically the AU is doing to channel that same spirit to do away with neo-colonialism....then I woke up from my sleep.

You did. I was equally unsatisfied with the answer, but you can't give what you don't have.

That would have been good, but it would require a dream or, at the very least, an active imagination.
