<div dir="auto"><div>To conclude this matter whether Larus Foundation has interested party behind is not strange. I know as fact that all foundations have interested parties funding their activities.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Take Bill Gates Foundation for example, they give all sorts of support though they did no say we must all use or buy Microsoft products. However, I know that there is something for Microsoft Corporation in all of it.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Therefore, if the funders behind Larus Foundation are benefitting from the resources of Africa. They should also do some CSR, and in return they their interest will be projected and possibly protected.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">So, I think Larus Foundation is doing the usual.

En effet nous connaissons bien entre africains et personne ici n'a le monopole du souci de l'Afrique tout le monde est Arficain au même titre. Dans ce débat on peut ressentir une certaine lutte entre la vielle garde et un nouveau vent émergeant dans la communauté AFRINIC. Beaucoup de questions en effet peuvent être posées sur la manière dont les africains choisissent d'autres africains pour assister à des sommets ou travaux, parfois les choix sont simplement tribalo-ethnico-claniques ou alors des membres de famille(qu'on se le dise!) et certains "protégés" qui sont conformes aux intérêts des uns et des autres. Arrêtons de nous intimider les uns les autres par des biais à peine voilés... Tous les systèmes de choix des boursiers sont critiquables.

Indeed we know well between Africans and nobody here has the monopoly for the sake of Africa everyone is Arficain in the same way. In this debate we can feel a certain struggle between the old guard and a new wind emerging in the AFRINIC community. Many questions can indeed be asked about how Africans choose other Africans to attend summits or work, sometimes the choices are simply tribalo-ethnico-clanic or family members (let it be said) !) and certain "protégés" who are in accordance with each other's interests. Let us stop intimidating each other with barely veiled biases ... All the systems for choosing scholarship holders are open to criticism.

Let me quote from the IOF website : “IOF organises political activities and actions of multilateral cooperation that benefit French-speaking populations.” The organization is literally letting you know that they only spend money on a specific small group of people that benefits another small group. We are talking about Africans discriminating Africans, their own people.

And we are sick and tired of us Africans being played like that. Let’s focus on what really matters to the community because there is definitely a lot we can be productive about and help our dear continent that is suffering.<span lang="EN-GB"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><br></p><div dir="ltr">Kind regards </div><div dir="ltr">Taiwo</div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
