2 Ghana Enters the Arena of World Democratic NationsGhanaians have again demonstrated to the rest of Africa and the world theirlove for their nation by opting for di-alog and legal recourse in a effort toclean up the fallout of the ploblems en-countered during the last presidentialelection.Tension was high and stakes even higher for this country of 24 millioncurrently experiencing strong econom-ic growth due to its exports of cocoaand gold, to which was added in 2010, a still modest but promising oilproduction. An exceptional democ-racy on the continent especially whenlooking back on the painful denoue-ment of neighbouring Ivory Coasts postelectoral crisis; a democratic model that has been rewarded with the first and single official visit of President Barack Obama during his first term.

Indeed, the main opposition party in Ghana has denounced a fraudulantsystem during the last presidential election and claims to have evidence that its candidate Nana Akufo Addo would, in fact, have won the election.The NPP demands an audit of the vote count as well as of the informationcollected by the biometric voter iden-tification machinery some of whichhaving broken down- before the re-sults of the presidential election can beofficially announced.

The earliest results announced by private tel-evision station Joy gave a slight advantage to the outgoing president Mr Dramani Mahama with 50.6% of the vote against 47.82% for op-position leader Nana Akufo Addos NPP (NewPatriotic Party) based on the results of 267 of 275 districts.We must point out that between the two can-didates, voting intentions were rather tight, which has increased the tension in the streets of Accra, the capital, and fears of fraud from either side. Tension was so pronounced that even religious leaders, followed by tradition-al leaders and many artists started their own campaigns parallel to the presidential ones, to raise awareness against all forms violence that could mar the progress of a fragile election and a democracy studded with painful sacrifices.

Hailing from the North, John Dramani Ma-hama was MP, Minister of Communication under former President Jerry Rawlings and Vice President John Atta Mills. Since the lat-ters death on July 24, 2012, he has been thepresident ad interim.This 54 year-old Christian, faithful of the Revealed Church of the Assem-bly of God, is also a lover of highlife, a musical genre popular in the country.John Dramani Mahama has a strong following among Ghanaians, which does not reproach him his numerous extra-marital progeny.In Ghana, women find him elegant and tad bit charming. Something that largely flatters his wife Lordina. And yet: During his cam-paign rallies, he played on seduction to the point of finding every opportunity to get out a few Azonto steps, a dance currently trendingin Ghana and throughout West Africa.John Dramani Mahama has built his pro-gram around the motto of Better Ghana, with an emphasis on health, employment for all, and education. He promises, for exam-ple, free schooling from the primary level.

The Candidate:John Dramani Mahama

Kenya is a country in the East Africa. It is bordered by South Sudan and Ethiopia to the North, Somalia to the East, Uganda to the West and Tanzaniato the South-west. It is also coastal to the Indian Ocean in the South-east.The Rift Valley allowed the formation of many lakes along its line, such as lake Turkana in the North of the country. This lake is bordered by the Chalbi de-sert, and is of great ornithological interest: species of birds such flamingos, pelicans and marabouts can all be found there. Lake Victoria, that Kenya shares with Tanzania and Uganda, is one of the sources of the Nile.The Indian Ocean borders more than 500 km of Kenyan coastline, consisting of sandy beaches. The Funzi islands lie just off the coast. The town ofMombasa is actually an island connected to the mainland by a causeway to the West, a bridge to the North, and ferry to the South.All land slightly behind the coast is arable land where are grown large quantities of bananas, man-goes, coconuts and frangipani.Meru National Park was completely renovated as part of a project of integrated development: recon-stitution and strengthening of the ecosystem,relocation of new animal populations, rebuilding of tourist infrastructure.The goal is to enable rapid financial autonomy and local development that will benefit the regions pop-ulations. Parks which attract tourists in the country of the late Wangari Matai (PeaceNobel Prize winner) are numerous today; and es-pecially popular is the largest, Tsavo, in Amboseli, where adventurers embark toward the safari atdawn to see the animals with a blushing Kiliman-jaro or the breath taking landscapes of Masai Mara Park in the background.

The latter, which takes its name from the river that crosses it, is the natural extension of the Serengetion the other side of the border with Tanzania. It is here that you can really appreciate the Pride of Ken-ya, The Big Five: lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard. The wildlife refuge center is found in the city of Mombasa. It is used to treat injured animals and to keep them alive artificially for some time. It also serves as a health examination center for fea-ture animals, that is to say those that are on the list of wildlife parks.

Dear readers,What will we retain of 2012 as it ends? Have you kept your wordon your resolutions? For me, I want to become vegetarian in 2013, this is my new year resolution. Well talk about that next year. Above all, during this festive season, do not forget those who are in need, as this is also part of the spirit of the Holidays.The proverbs,The proverbs are usually very short and written in a metaphorical way, which sometimes makes their interpretation and thus their translation difficult.A proverb is an expression suspended in time, a thought solidified in a brief formulation: lessons learned from experience, life advice, and codes of conduct. Every language seems to convey a body thoughts, as a sort of onboard memory or internalized tradition. Another way of saying it is that every language is not merely a formal grouping of syntax, phonetics or semantic network variable geometry, but also a reserve of ready-to-use thoughts.Proverbs give us a kind of insight into the collective consciousness of a com-munity, its mentality, its habits, its needs, its geographical context. We have for a long time called this popular wisdom.In this last edition of the year, I have chosen for you dear readers fivenew African proverbs ... You already know it the chorus!Man Your Keyboards.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!See you next year.

He who has a home is not a slave.

Generous is the man who counts little.

Generous people always expose themselves to bad treatment.

The man who flees the truth is a weak man who prefers obscu-rity.

Its on stormy seas that we recognize the quality of the wood that makes our ship.
