About asabagna
I go by the name of Asabagna Alatentou, "Asa" for short. I took this name as my African/Spiritual name when I went on a pilgrimage to West Africa in 1997. I visited Senegal, The Gambia and Ghana. "Asabagna" means "hunter" and I received that name during a naming ceremony when I visited a village in northern Ghana. "Alatentou" is Mandingo for "God is gracious" and I received that name from a village Griot in Senegal. I was born in England and my parents are of Jamaican heritage. I spent most of my formative years in Jamaica, but grew up primarily in Toronto Canada. I currently live in Ottawa, the national capital of Canada. I am professionally employed, married, 2 wonderful kids and regularly attend a Pentecostal church. I am a born-again Christian. I do not consider myself conservative or liberal, right-wing or left-wing, centrist etc., or any of the multiple categories that society likes to confine and define people by. However, I do have strong views, beliefs and opinions but I also consider myself open to listening and contemplating other viewpoints. I am a firm believer that "if you don't believe in something, you will fall for anything".

Lots of intrigue in that region.One of those crimes where it becomes difficult to figure who was really behind it.
The United States when it has an objective in a region or a country, is notorious for investigating and then befriending all the disgruntled folks and concocting a scheme with them.
Often American officials in foreign countries know all the gossips, and everything about the lives and habits of key people in the host country than the very people who live there.
Che Guevara who was practically commanded by his mother to go to Africa to stage a revolution wrote that he was not very impressed with Laurent-Desire- Kabila , but thought with time he would get better.
Using child soldiers as a fighting column is not only child abuse but a dangerous thing because these young men grow up as disgruntled adults missing something in their lives .
In their heads, there is always a war taking place. Africans cannot use young children to fight wars and expect them to turn the fight button off when the war is over.
Often war is the only thing, these children know of, and if they are not rehabilitated, they become either criminals, time bombs waiting to be detonated by someone or untrustworthy individuals.
The legacy of Leopold…
