The argument I had made to the former President
of Nigeria concerns WHY Nigeria was administered
by a strong central bureaucracy. The British,
I explained to the old man, had "other concerns"
in Africa and beyond and so it made sense
to have, in each concern, a central authority
with access to the grassroots and information
thereto pertinent. In this era, we do not
need such... afrocentricity. Ahem.
It would mean, then, that such a view might
indeed hold for the people of Afghanistan.
Peopled by natives and foreigners alike,
shall the people of Afghanistan not be
given a chance to demonstrate their sovereignty
through the fiat of consensus? The idea is
that there shall NOT be the establishment of
a nation bearing the name Afghanistan on
Afghanistan soil that is simply a homeland
for Muslims. But shall Muslims have no homeland
within Afghanistan?
