"If an Arab and a Jew can look at one another and see the Akashic lineage and see the one family, there is hope. If they can see that their differences no longer require that they kill one another, then there is a beginning of a change in history. And that's what is happening now. All of humanity, no matter what the spiritual belief, has been guilty of falling into the historic trap of separating instead of unifying. Now it's starting to change. There's a shift happening."

I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

Niger election: Opposition's Mahamadou Issoufou wins

BBC News, 14 March 2011

Niger opposition leader Mahamadou Issoufou won Saturday's presidential run-off with nearly 58% of the vote, the election commission has announced.

It was third time lucky for Niger opposition
leader Mahamadou Issoufou
Mr Issoufou had been defeated in two previous polls by former President Mamadou Tandja, who was ousted by the military a year ago.

The presidential candidate for Mr Tandja's MNSD party, ex-premier Seini Oumarou, received about 42% of ballots.

The election is intended to return Niger to civilian rule.

Social Democratic Party leader Mr Issoufou, 59, was the favourite going into the run-off, having led the first round of voting in January.

'Example to Africa'

The army, which has pledged to step down by April, said before the ballot that it was not backing either candidate.

Mr Tandja spent 10 years in power before being overthrown in a military coup in February last year when he tried to overstay his legal term limit.

The former president is currently in prison facing charges of corruption.

General Salou Djibo, who has led the junta since its largely popular coup, hailed Saturday's peaceful vote as an example to the rest of Africa.

Turnout was about 48%.

Niger, a largely desert nation in West Africa, has reserves of uranium and has attracted billions of dollars of investment.

It remains one of the world's poorest nations, and has witnessed a number of coups since independence from France in 1960.

Al-Qaeda has been blamed for a spate of kidnappings and killings of Westerners in the region in recent years.
