U.S.'s Rice to visit Ethiopia in rare Africa trip
Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit Ethiopia next week for meetings on the conflicts in the volatile African Great Lakes region and Sudan and Somalia, said the State Department on Thursday.

Rice, a rare visitor to the African continent, will make her third trip to sub-Saharan Africa since becoming secretary of state in 2005. She has previously been to Liberia, Senegal and Sudan but canceled a trip to Africa last July.

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Rice would be in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, on Dec. 5 to attend a meeting of leaders from the African Great Lakes region -- Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

"(They) will discuss issues of regional peace and security," he said.

1. imagine if they rejected her presence there...the African leaders.

What message would it send about her :hide:

And she completely would deserve it. She's done and will do everything to continue climbing up the career ladder...no matter how dishonorable or dishonest.

And in case anyone thinks I'm crazy to think it...listen to what was said about her and Colin Powell by a mainstream, African-American comic.

3. SHE IS GOING TO GET HER JUDGEMENT FROM THE ANCESTORS
This treasonous war criminal is going there to get her judgment from the House of Emperor Haile Selassie I. Laugh if you may, but the ancestors are not to be joked with. She is going to cement the downstruction of the African Union but will be destroyed spiritually along with the war criminal Meles.

I am so embarrassed about her and colin bowell (WEAK OUT). They are a disgrace to the ancestors and need to be necklaced. Yes I say all traitors need to be hanged and she just sealed her fate by visiting the destruction that Meles, Bush, Rice et al released on the Ethiopians and Somali people.

Meles is done and so is the criminal cabal.

Keeping the thug house of disorder, is the anaconda snake.

IMAGINE GLOBAL PEACE

HOUR OF DECISION

OUR CHILDREN AND ANCESTORS DEMAND THAT WE ACT...WHY NOT RECALL THE ENTIRE TREASONOUS CONGRESS INSTEAD OF RE-ELECTING THEM???.

RE-ELECTING THE TREASONOUS CRIMINALS SAYS MUCH ABOUT A NATION. WE ARE CRIMINALLY COMPLICIT IN THE ACTIONS OF THIS CRIMINAL CABAL.

WELCOME TO COVERT FASCISM....RUN BEFORE IT BECOMES OVERT.

LOVE AND "LIGHT"
