All of us at the Oasis congratulate the recently retired President Banda and President-elect Sata. Not only Zambians elected a new president (5th since independence there are more than 40 years), but also the political opposition party
Outgoing President Rupiah Banda said in his speech of farewell. "MY GENERATION, GENERATION OF INDEPENDENCE BATTLE - MUST NOW GIVE WAY oF NEW IDEAS, oF IDEAS fOR THE 21ST CENTURY"
"view of incumbent President Rupiah Banda with the first Republican President, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda which accompanies the president elected to stand to be sworn in, surrounded by tens of thousands of cheering spectators, was something to see. Zambians are now extremely proud that this country is a beacon of democracy and peace in an otherwise troubled world. "
peaceful and democratic change of Zambia government contrasts sharply with neighboring Zimbabwe Who is the older generation of independence fighters and veterans stubbornly cling to power.
here at Oasis our only big disappointment is that successful and peaceful elections in Zambia were barely reported and published in most British and Western media. Is showing Africa in a positive light too much of our western media? Or are we being too cynical
