O. Vengeyi, The Bible in the Service of Pan-Africanismthe legitimate leader of the people since he drives the pan-African
agenda of sovereignty and self-determination. For Mahoso, the total
blockade/sanctions demanded by Ouattara on the people of Cote d’
Ivoire reveal that Ouattara is eating from somewhere separate from the
people: in Nato, outside Cote d’Ivoire.^68
This is the reason according to Mahoso, in relation to the people of Cote
d’ Ivoire, Ouattara is no different from that whore who begged Solomon
to cut the one living child into two dead halves so that she, as the false
“mother”, would reduce the real mother to the “equal” status of child-
lessness’.^69 The problem for Mahoso is the role of the West that Quattara
begged to impose sanctions on the country. The West has for him, al-
ways used the UN to fix nations and leaders of countries they are
blocked from accessing economic interests. The UN as such is not
Solomon at all, a neutral arbiter. Instead of being a Solomon, who is
impartial, for Mahoso, the role of the United Nations in Cote d’Ivoire,
Lebanon, former Yugoslavia and Iraq has been scandalous. And this
history reminds Africans of the abuse of the same UN by Belgium, the
US and their allies in the overthrow and assassination of Patrice Lu-
mumba, the legitimate, popularly elected Prime Minister of Congo in
1960-61.^70 UN is therefore incapable of arbitration, for it is partial and
usually takes sides with the one who is not the mother of the child, the
whore in the biblical story cited above (1 kgs. 3:17-27).
With all this wealth of knowledge about the evil intentions of the UN,
African Union leaders according to Mahoso, should have solved the
problem by suggesting an African Solomon as the arbitrator. Unfortu-
nately, for him, the AU Commission is also another whore. Instead of
looking for an African Solomon to mediate, they rushed to ask that ‘Ju-
das Iscariot’-Raila Odinga, to be the mediator, knowing very well that he
is another (puppet) client of the US and EU and would happily deliver
the head of Gbagbo on a platter.^71
Equally depicted as useless pretenders and claimants to Solomonic wis-
dom and mediation, while in fact they are Judas Iscariots, are Economic
Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) member states. According to
