The struggle for supremacy in the 19^th Century led to the colonisation of Africa. The final event that led the occupation of Africa was the Berlin Conference of 1884 and 1885. There was serious competition among super powers for opportunities for raw materials and investment that Africa could provide for Europe’s industrialization. Africa was affected by this struggle for power in Europe. Its resources –coal, rubber, timber, crude oil, gold etc. were looted to support the growing industries in Europe. Industrialisation caused the emission of CO2-carborn dioxide leading to too much concentration of green house gases into the atmosphere. The IPCC (group of scientist) they have made us to believe that human and animal life is under threat of Global warming. They have sited industrialisation in Europe as the major cause and Africa (source of raw materials) as the most affected. Who benefited from African resources then and who is benefiting now? Is the struggle for supremacy over? Is the IPCC serving the political interest of their nations? Slogan “Beware the Chinese are coming” Is Climate Change a political game meat to prevent other nations from developing? When will Africa benefit from its God given natural resources? We thought time is now, but the scientific findings suggest that 75% of fossil oil should remain underground. This mean Africa should reduce the exploitation of underground resources for its development and wait for ……debt funds. Is Climate Change meant to keep Africa dependant from the West?  We need to accept Climate Change as an environmental catastrophe with low level of political interest. Is this another form of colonisation of Africa? The focus is now on the Climate Debt for adaptation and mitigation strategies for the developing countries. China, India and United States of America-USA have not made their position clear about climate debt payment. May be they don’t see much political benefit on this game.  

Back home, are there groups of people in society benefiting from the effects of Climate Change on the expense of the ordinary citizens? African nations are not failing to develop strategies for sustainable development, but the political leaders especially during election period use Climate Change effects –hunger (food) to coerce people to vote for a particular political party. Poor people in the village, struggle with their lives for four years and the fifty year will be election year, politician will use the food to force people to vote for them.  Vote for political party A or else you die of hunger. They will make sure that those who receive food aid are the supporters of their political party. It is true that climate Change effects are most felt by the women and children in the village and they are the main target of the politicians. They take advantage of the poverty prevailing to exploit members of the community.   The liberation parties in some countries in Africa have survived the elections by buying votes using grain-food. Political parties have used poverty caused by climate change to remain in power for ever. Aid, loans, grants have been used by developed countries to nature and assist to power puppet leaders in Africa. Some developed countries would like to rule Africa using remote controls. The climate debt should help Africa develop and move from dependent from the developed nations. Africa’s voice is important in the decision making regarding issues that affect Africa. Hope Climate Debt will be given with no strings attached. The direct beneficiaries of the aid should be the ailing members of the community not greedy politicians who feed from poor man’s blood.

Pay the debt-No puppet leaders No exploitation of the weak.
