Opinion: Lord Frost resignation should shake the PM

We now see a man, who stood by, and been a loyal subject like Lord David Frost. His now the former Brexit Minister and the former chief negotiator with the European Union (EU). The member of the house of Lords, who was a part of the Brexit cause and stood by the ideals for it. A man that the PM trusted has now officially resigned. This was the project and the political reform of which both the PM and Lord Frost will be remembered for. Because, this has ushered in a new era and the stinks of it will linger on for ages. 

Lord Frost who has worked with the Tories and been aligned with the framework of which the Prime Minister had set forward. Now, that seems to have been lost and he has resigned. Since, 2016 the Government has had three negotiators and three state minister’s in-charge of the Brexit. Where it has clearly failed and not delivered.

If anyone who had the portfolio or accepted these roles should be ashamed. Not that they could deliver, it was a hopeless task. Nevertheless, they took it… because they could never deliver sufficiently to the Brexiteers and neither be regarded well by the remainers. The results of which they accepted and continued negotiations are battles where the Tories cannot win. They lack of progress and proven value for money is obvious as time goes by. The Brexit is only costing, making things more hard and the pennies for independence is bonkers.

David Davis, Stephen Barclay, Dominic Raab or Olly Robbins are all part of this clusterfuck. They have during the tenure of Theresa May and Boris Johnson not succeeded. This was bound to fail anyway. However, they could have patched up on some of the hurt. These gentlemen could have worked on overtime and tried harder. However, the stipulations and policies of EU would make it hard to jade things. Unless, the UK would have some leverage in concern to the EU, which would suffice in a negotiation.

Therefore, that Lord Frost drops out of his position after a half-year and been the first secretary of state for exiting the European Union (EU), which he we’re between July 2016 to July 2018. This is a man who has been in the forefront and known the whole process.

Lord Frost has been the man who has visited, talked and discussed all matters with the EU. This is the man that both May and Johnson trusted with this. That’s why it’s striking when he ditches it all and gives up now. This is a sign that things are not going well and we knew that already. As the lack of lorries, slow exports and other damages have come into fruition as time goes on.

When a guy like this drops out. You know things are dire and it’s burning. His said to resigned because of the direction the government is going. We know things are not running smoothly. There already been a rebellion and a vote against the government stance in Parliament. The Tories aren’t united behind Johnson and Lord Frost can easily sense that.

His dropping out as the PM is suffering from the sleaze, the corruption, the mismanagement and internal in-fighting, which is eating the government alive. The Tories isn’t a well run machinery at this point. There are so many voices and no coherent strategy. That’s why things will not get better or fast.

Lord Frost sends a chilling message. The PM should listen to it. Not that he has the integrity or the heart for it. This just shows how everything is wrong and it’s not working. When even the guy who has carried the weight and done his duty for you. Resigns on his own accord. Not that I am for Brexit, but at least Lord Frost stands up for what he believed in. Even if it was foolish or ignorant of the facts of how EU operates. Since, he doesn’t get it his way or is able to negotiate what he wants.

Alas, the latest By-Election wasn’t the only defeat this week. This is the second blow and the PM soon doesn’t have any shoulders to lean on. Peace.

Ethiopia: Sudan & South Sudan dismiss the allegations of working with the TPLF (!)

If you know, now you know. This is becoming the live tale of the ancient proverb: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”. If not Niccolò Machiavelli would be proud of the propaganda and the state apparatus of Addis Ababa. They are working on overtime with allegations, pseudo-sciences, and conspiracy theories, which is totally out of this world(!)?

The Prosperity Party and their affiliates are clearly working on stand-by and making up headlines, as the neighbours and Ministries abroad must refute. This is not good move or diplomatic for that matter. Claiming the foreign governments are supporting adversaries of the government, which are working to overthrow the current regime. That is a bad look and when it’s addressed. It only shows that the PP is on a fishing expedition and trying to find someone to blame for their losses.

Just look at this from Sudan and South Sudan.

Sudan:

“Hereunder SUNA publishes unofficial translation of the text of the statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:- “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Sudan followed up with astonishment the news published by the Ethiopian state Fana Broadcasting Corporate on December 9, 2021, in which it accused Sudan of supporting the Tigray Liberation Front, and also claimed that Sudan harbored and trained elements of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front to confront the Ethiopian government forces. In the face of these arbitrary allegations that are contrary to the truth, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would like to affirm Sudan’s full commitment to the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and that what was reported by Fana agency is absolutely untrue and baseless. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of the Sudan also calls on Ethiopia to stop accusing Sudan of taking aggressive stances and practices that are not supported by evidence on the ground, and would like to affirm that Sudan controls all of its internationally recognized territories and borders with neighboring Ethiopia, and has never, and will never, allow its use for any aggression.”” (Sudan News Agency – ‘Sudan denies Ethiopian accusations’ 12.12.2021, SUNA)

South Sudan:

“Addressing the media last Friday, Michael Makuei, Minister of Information who doubles as Government Spokesperson said the government of South Sudan has no ill intention to work against the Ethiopian government. He said the Federal Republic of Ethiopia had contributed during the struggle that resulted in South Sudan’s independence. “The people and the government of Ethiopia all these years have been standing with us and without the Ethiopians and the government, we would have not been independent today. So there is no way whereby we can say we are supporting the rebels to overthrow the system in Ethiopia,” Makuei said. “Not only that but even if what are our resources if we are unable even to graduate our forces now because of the absence of arms, should we give arms to the rebels and leave our forces,” he asked” (…)  “This we have to make it very clear and assure the government of Ethiopia that we are with them, that we are with the government and the people of Ethiopia and we will never work against them in any way.” (Jenifer Keji – ‘South Sudan denies backing TPLF rebels’ 13.12.2021, The City Review).

What is striking is that the party press of the Prosperity Party is inciting this. That the state media is coming with reports and articles claiming Sudan and South Sudan governments are supporting the adversaries in the conflict. That is striking and sends waves. It shows what sort of messaging and propaganda they produce. When these sorts of conspiracy theories get headlines and stories in the press. While the neighbours have to dismiss and refute the messages spread, because they know it isn’t true.

The most ironic thing about it, is that the regime in Addis Ababa have foreigners supplying drones, weapons, and technical expertise. The Addis Ababa regime have needed the support of Eritrean troops and intelligence. Therefore, the ones conspiring with foreigners to overcome an obstacle is during power and not the ones trying to take it down. That is the ironies of life and this conflict. And we know that the leadership of Addis has projected every sin and every claim of what they have been doing upon others. The sins they are committing is always others to blame and use as a shield.

Nevertheless, this saga will continue, and the PP cannot contain itself. This is what they do and what they are known for. Peace.

Opinion: Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga states what we all foresaw [in concern to Operation Shujaa]

We shall not leave Congo until we have swept them down. They invited us by the mockery attacks, we are here. They will know what we are capable of” – Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga

The first son and the third ranking army commander of land forces in the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga states what we could foresee. The Ugandan army is aiming to stay within the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Which we could easily assess and by how it acts.

Everyone with a marble working could see this coming. We know that Lt. Gen. Muhoozi would boost his ego and his pride. That is what he does… he has no issues with violating other territories, but no one is supposed to violate his. There isn’t much or none oversight over the “Operation Shujaa”. The Parliament have been left in the dark and only gotten what has been told in the press. Therefore, the UPDF is ordered on it’s own and not deployed by law.

Lt. Gen. just proves what analysts have predicated. This mission which started on the 30th November 2021 and it will be a long one. They will not leave quickly and they will find ways to stay there. The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) is a fitting target and they are behind the bombs in Kampala earlier this year. Therefore, the UPDF can say this is self-defence at this point.

Though, they are there on the mercy of FARDC and the DRC government. Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga doesn’t decide this, as his tehre on the merits and acceptance of the government of Kinshasa. This decision isn’t made in Entebbe or in Kampala. Nevertheless, he will boost his ego and sound braggadocios.

The agreement between the DRC and Uganda haven’t been leaked. Neither the stipulations or the articles of which keeps them there for now. Since, these hasn’t been released and doesn’t count on the Ministers or the ones in power to release it either. They rather keep the agreement close to their chest. As the joint operation with FARDC-UPDF continues.

Yes, the terrorists and guerrillas should be hunted for the safety of all civilians. That is without a doubt, but the merits of it and the proposed agreement for it. Should be released to the general public. So, that the UPDF can be deployed on the wordings according to law and not to whatever mood a Lt. Gen has or his father for that matter. Because, that isn’t how you hold the integrity of the territory of the Republic. When people can start to question the reasons and the real incentive for the mission or operation itself.

Lt. Gen. Muhoozi can stay in Beni and the Kivu provinces as long as he wants too, but he has no rights to overstay his welcome anywhere. Except for the places his appointed to by blood and not by his work-ethic. Peace.
