as a western perception that the african female is a downtrodden wretch . but when you look around the african continent today girls abducted in nigeria, polygamy re introduced in kenya, child marriages and the prevalence of gender based violence how much is there to celebrate about being female in africa? ama ata aidoo, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much, zainab. there s a lot of political issues and social affairs in your writings. how much do you see yourself as a writer with a mission? well, now, in retrospect, i suppose i could describe myself as a writer with a mission. but i never was aware that i had a mission when i started to write, you see. it didn t work it doesn t work like that. i maen, i don t sit at my desk and say, now i ve got to depict this, and depict that. no. first of all, i was rather young when i started writing, so i didn t even have any notion of where my would be read, or how, and stuff like that. so it wasn t a conscious decision ....
Maybe like in other places, it is not the people, always the people who want to do the changing who gets near the power. who are in power, 0k. briefly on this point, as you said, you were education minister in 1982. you resigned when you realised you could not make education freely accessible to all. it is still a challenge. broadly speaking. ghana is doing 0k. but still, you find that secondary education is a big issue, not only in ghana but in other african countries. do you think you should have stuck witho politics, rather than gone into your writing? would you have better served ghana and africa had you stuck with politics? you know, i am trying to work myself out of the guilt thing. so, my answer is, no. ....

[laughter] i think she s getting desperate. people don t like her, they don t trust her. her poll numbers are upside down and, you re right, kennedy, everything that s happening right now is a result of her own doing, bottom line. i wrote some notes here. first of all, they ignore, and then they deny, then they blame, t ....
The republican party loves to play the religious card. any way they possibly can. i think it s a guilt thing, actually. they love to align themselves with the bible and they always quote it, as you saw in the open. but this couldn t be further from the truth. in the last 24 hours, we have seen the true identity of these faith-based christians. we have seen the true identity of just how faith-based they are across the board. they have taken away from the poor and they have denied the sick. that s who they are. if jesus were around today, he certainly wouldn t be a republican. i don t think i ll burn in hell for that. i think i m right. it s not blasphemy. all right. last night, republicans voted to cut food stamps, as we were getting off the air, by $40 billion. let s talk about the money for just a moment. the president met with business round table leaders earlier this week. and he talked about all the positive things that were taking ....
