Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama,

Once again, we cannot but deplore the late reaction of the African leadership in general and the ruling governments in particular to threats of instability that metastasized in numerous social upheavals and armed conflicts in the region.

If we made the decision to express our consternation, it is because of the perfidy in this lethargy of African heads of governments who wait until the situations have deteriorated before acting with band-aid solutions while the suffering of thousands innocents victims becomes unbearable.

Though not exclusively, the region of West Africa is under of the state of regional security threats. This must be obvious as the world?s attention is focused on Africa and weapons are transferred from other part of the continent with the complicity of Arabs and western countries whose sole interest is in a new geopolitical and economic dismemberment of this region.

There is urgency for an ECOWAS security and emergency summit to be the last of such encounters from which the citizens in West Africa expect once and for all our leaders to come out with concrete action plans accompanied by resources in funds, military materials with ancillary services as well as adequate manpower.

There has been over the decades, genocide, which, indirectly, is imputed to past decision makers because of negligence and incompetence such that further delay will amount, no less, to pure treason by leaders, especially if more innocent persons were to become victims of these Machiavellian wars. We all recognize that the local scenes of tragedies, expressed by the self-inflicted wounds (or black-on-black crimes) are the ones that mitigates for shared responsibilities, but we have yet to see the clear identification of the beneficiaries of these conflicts. Who are the stooges and local agencies working for?

Hence, even the cartel of African Central Bankers and financiers who have impoverished our nations and reduced them to defenseless enclaves must be held accountable should the responses to these threats fail. Since these bankers have ceded the sovereignty of African nations to western countries, African presidents and head of governments must begin to consider closing down foreign embassies and agencies hostile to Africans.

It is no secret that the suffering caused by terrorism, armed rebellion, and social strife is fueled by operatives of these foreigners. However, there has never been much emphasis on the fact that Arabs, Europeans and North-Americans have no prerogatives or exceptional rights over Africans. Furthermore, these foreigners cannot pretend that the defense of their interests or rights on the soil of Africa supersede those of our people.

It is enough and time to protest since the lives of Africans are sacrificed to wanton barbarity for the sake of the voracious appetite of some degenerate beings. It is enough and alarming because Africans are reduced to provide their life-energy to hordes of predators that have never contributed to the empowerment of humanity.

It is now time that sane minds among Africans neutralize the schizophrenic among us who have no redemptive contribution to the Renaissance of the African people. It is high time to call upon the citizens to rise and protect their nations. Any endeavor with less ambition is dangerously treacherous and not worthy of our past glory and ancestry.

It is time to begin to go beyond pleas and search for peace with enemies who have shown timelessly their barbarity and lay out offensive strategies to destroy these enemies. There is no alternative in dealing with predator-killers.
While all citizens of ECOWAS hope to see a new demeanor under your leadership as from this summit, we expect new dispositions in regional security issues and matters at hand.

Yours respectfully,
Jacques Sotero Agboton
