					<description><![CDATA[Another report from the Kenyan newspaper, AFRICA REVIEW, published on 21st January 2012



&lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;b&gt;Same sex campaigners in Liberia are on mass mobilization exercise to attain a five thousand mark that would qualify them to push for legitimacy in the country, sources have confirmed.&lt;/b&gt;



The group leaders Leroy &quot;Ponpon&quot; Archie and Abraham Kamara said they had already amassed about $4 million in their coffers from supporters abroad. While Liberian Constitution criminalises gay and lesbian activities, the duo have vowed that they will not bow to any pressure until the &#039;Movement in Defence of Gay and Lesbian Rights&#039; is legally recognized in the West African nation.



They added that they would use the available funds to attain the required number of signatures to petition Liberian legislators to pass Gay Rights Bill.The move has however sparked widespread condemnation from Liberians including some members of the country&#039;s bi-cameral legislature.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

					<description><![CDATA[Quoting from the news report----



&lt;blockquote&gt; A few weeks after the United States in December announced it would consider gay rights when handing out aid, the &lt;b&gt;Movement in Defence of Gay and Lesbian Rights in Liberia began to push for the legalisation of same-sex marriage&lt;/b&gt;. This was roundly condemned and the leaders of the movement --- none of them gay -- were mobbed and had to be rescued by police &lt;b&gt;when they tried to campaign at a university campus&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

					<description><![CDATA[I suspect, Mary, that this is the way we might have to go; money currently given to &#039;rogue&#039; governments might need be diverted to assist African refugees.



One sees the &#039;recruitment&#039; line again ... well, it is perfectly reasonable to seek to &#039;recruit&#039; people to join you in a human rights campaign.



(None of what &#039;Maazi NCO MP&#039; reports above actually justifies these latest calls for violence; all it demonstrates is that there are homophobic bloodthirsty lunatics in Liberia as well ... but I think we all knew that already - and there are some here in London as well.)]]></description>

I can sense your frustration that Africans have bluntly refused to see the brighter sides of sodomy just like most Europeans/Americans/ Australians/Canadians/ New Zealanders.  Anyways, if you examine the news reports I posted earlier, you will notice a familiar pattern playing out in many African States. 



A bunch of local gay sex practitioners in an African nation get funding from rich European/American Patrons. Awash with cash, the local gay sex militants begin to hold provocative press conferences and going on radio to make hysterical noises about something called &quot;gay rights&quot;. Then they stage provocative events such as the invitation of members of the public to attend gay engagement ceremony in Malawi or distribute &quot;gay rights&quot; flyers in Uganda. 



Following the provocative events,ordinary citizens of the affected African nation are outraged and there are lots of condemnations from local politicians, local religious leaders and  local celebrities. A few weeks later, a brand new parliamentary bill is  tabled in that African nation to suppress the Western-instigated gay militancy. 



Western government leaders under domestic pressure from Euro-American Gay Lobbyists bark, shout and  threaten the African nation. The African nation (e.g. Burundi, Malawi, Nigeria) call their bluff and enact the anti-gay legislation....]]></description>
