Lado Civil Service Commission, which is placed directly under the Prime Minister.

The Commission is also responsible for the Employment and the Recruitment of the Military and Diplomatic Service Staff of Lado.

In the event that any of the People in the Top Hierarchy of State should be engaged in the Abuse of Power against the State and against the Citizens of Lado, be guilty of Misdemeanours or Treason, they will be Impeached.

That applies to those who hold the Offices of the State, such as .the Prime Minister, the Governor, the Coordinator of State, the State Secretary, the Judges, the Ambassadors and other State Holders of Lado.

The Lado
Political System
As one of the Fundamental Rights of the Citizens of Lado, according to Lado Constitution, the Lado Political System allows for theFreedom of Expression, the Freedom of Assembly and the Freedom of Association, both in Political and Non-Political Organisations, such as Political Parties, Interest Groups, Pressure Groups, etc., etc.

Five Year Plan
will go Ahead
"We will go ahead with our Five Year Plan regardless of whether the International Community recognises the Independence and Sovereignty of Lado or not", states the King who will call for an Election in Lado in the near future.

In order to gain a Seat in the Lado Parliament, the Political Party must first register with the Lado Political Council which consist of the 29 Lado Tribes and is chaired by the Agofe of Lado.

The LPC Council consists of seven Committees, the Constitution Committee, the Associations Commit-tee, the Society Committee, the Unions Committee, the Clubs Committee, the Friendship


guiding the Paamvu (Clan) consists of the Tribal Customs and the Traditions including the Common Law of Lado which is Basic Law.

Lado Politics and
Committee System
Directly under the LPC Council is also the Society Committee which deals with the Professional Societies, such as Lawyers, the Medical Profession, Engineers, Teachers, etc.

The Union Committee holds the Trade Unions, The Student Unions and the Union of Mothers which advises Young Women, Pregnant Women, working Women, etc.

Under this Committee is also the Young People's Union which is involved in advising and training Young People and especially is responsible for Literacy, and the Clubs Committee which deals with all areas of Social Life, Sports, Music and the Supply of the Financial Support for these Activities.

The Friendship Committee coordinates areas such as Friendship Societies withother countries, Cultural Exchanges, Language, etc.

The External Relations Committee deals with Lado Foreign Relations

Each Committee is well organised by the Repre-sentatives of each Tribe.

The Agofe and
External Relations
The Lado Foreign Policy is conducted by the External Relations Committee which consists of five Sections: Foreign Affairs, Peace Af-fairs, Security Affairs, Religion Affairs and Commerce Affairs.

The External Relations Committee is constantly studying, researching, analysing, organising and advising - and is directly reporting its findings to the Agofe of Lado.

In charge of this Committee is a Vice Chairman and the President of the External The Pro-Chairman also acts as a Substitute for the Agofe in order to ensure that the Agofe may always be kept up to date on all important Affairs of the Country and be the Stabilising Factor in the


Lado Nation State Foreign Policy.

The Academy
of Lado
The Agofe, King Agami, has long nurtered a Burning Desire to Record the History of Lado through the Centuries of Lado's age-old History as the 'Cradle of Civilisation'.

"It was the Europeans who realised that Lado is the very Base of Central Africa, and on 26 January 1846 H.H. Pope Gregory XVI signed a Document making the Upper Nile Valley, Lado, 'The Vicariate of Central Africa'", says the King.

Other Historical Docu-ments of Importance for the History of Lado, are the Turco-Egyptian Firman of 13 February 1841, and the Turco-Egyptian Firman of 1 April 1869 for the Occupation of Lado which took place on 26 May 1871.

King Agami has for a long time been working on estab-lishing 'The Institute of Lado Affairs' which willcontain all information on Lado, i.e. History, People, Religion, Languages, Geography, Nature, Sciences, etc..

All this Research Work will eventually lead to the Creation of the National Archives of Lado.

"What the seven million Lado People and the three million Lado Refugees, and 'Stateless Persons' of Lado living in Exile outside Lado need most of all is Peace, Security and Political Stability", says King Agami.

"It is the Sense of Pride in the Lado People's National Identity and Heritage which our Government's Five Year Action Plan is set to Achieve, meaning the Independence and the Sove-reignty of Lado."

Lado Five Year Action Plan...

- Part Two...

The Agofe of Lado King John Bart Agami proclaims:

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

The situation for the Lado People in the troubled Central African enclave Lado, which on


the media Lado is referred to as: South Sudan, the north-eastern corner of DR Congo and the north-west of Uganda (The West Nile).

The Fate of Lado and the Lado People has been hard - but though the Lado Territory has been Occupied, and the People Enslaved by various Conquerors and Colonisers since 1840, the Lado Kingdom and the Lado People have managed to remain an Indigenous Group (though consisting of various Tribes and Traditional Languages), all with close affiliation to the Ancient Land of Lado.

Contrary to most of the other African Nations and Kingdoms, Lado never signed over its Sovereignty nor the Rights to their Re-sources or Raw Materials to any Foreign Power.

Fifty Years
Systematic Genocide
The scenario in Lado has never looked more Horrific for the Lado People thanduring the past year where the Systematic Genocide against the Lado People has been part of daily life in the Indigenous Lado Territories.

This unknown Genocide has been the order of the day since 18 August 1955, and has thus been carried out for almost Fifty Years.

It was the Killing of the late Agofe and Keego (Prime Minister), King Atobua, who was gunned down in front of his home on 14 April 1948, that precipitated the Genocide.

Attlee Government
behind Assassination
It was the then Labour Government of Britain, the Government of Clement Richard Attlee, who Masterminded and Orchestrated the Plot and the Assassination of King Atobua.

King Atobua's 'sin' was that he refused to let Lado become a Part of the socalled East-African Federation (The Kenya Colony, The Uganda Protectorate, The Tangyanika


Territory, Zanzibar, The Pemba Protectorate, Mombasa and The Coast Protectorate).

The Federation was set up following the Versailles Agreement of 28 June 1919 after the First World War.

Later the Federation became known under the term East African Common Service Organisation (EACSO) in 1961, in short British East Africa.

Churchill worked
for Lado Independence
Long before that, in 1891, an Army was created with the Sole Purpose to defend the British Colonial Possessions in Africa which became known as the King's African Rifles (K.A.R.) who fought in both World Wars for the British Empire.

Had it been up to the man who saved Britain and the World from the Throngs of Nazism in World War 2, former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Spencer Churchill, Lado would have already regained its Rightful and Lawful Sovereigntyand Independence in 1960.

But alas the Grand Old Man of Britain was sidestepped in Westminster and in the Ballots after the War - or the Central African Region should not have seen such Bloodshed and meaning-less Atrocities as have been the case till today.

Lado the Centre
and the Main Spoils
Just to exist as a People and a Cultural Entitity has been an almost Super Human Endeavour for the Lado People who have been surrounded by Enemies in the shape of "Colonial Controlled" African Neighbours, Western Military Advisors, Multinational Corportions, Western Controlled Rebel Groups and not least all those who are bought off with Promises of Position and Money.

Lado is the Centre and the Main Spoils of the Third World War being played out under the Pretext of Regional War


in DR Congo with the participation of seven other countries and more than fifty-three Rebel Groups who are all acting out the Battle of Supremacy on behalf of the World Powers.

Cut-Throat Battle
for Natural Resources
Now more than ever, it is a cut-throat Battle for Natural Resources and maintenance of the old National Interests of the European Colonial Powers, who would prefer to replace the African ational Populations with their own Surplus Populations and Marginal Groups in their own Societies - as it was the case in past Cen-turies with th Spanish Conquistadores and the White Australian Convict Settlers, etc., etc.

In order to hide the Truth of the Matter and the Existence in Central Africa of Lado and the Lado People, there is a Total Ban on the very mentionof the Name 'Lado' in Africa and in the International Media.

Lado Issue
is a Hushed-up
Matter In fact any Editor who ventures to print 'Lado' in his or her columns or to utter the Name in a Television News Report will suffer Blackli-sting and even Imprisonment on Treason Charges.

All the same, and in spite of the Artificial Partitioning by the European Powers and the US - the Bombings, the Abductions and the Killings - Lado Affairs are running on the auspices of the Lado Provisional Government and the Dicastries (Ministries) that have been set up to pave the way for the Official International Recognition of the Lado Sovereign State.

A Long
and Painful Road
"It has been a Long and Painful Road to get the Lado Issue Fair Play on the International Scene",


not given their Lives in Vain.

Therefore, and for the Sake of the New Generations of Lado People, the Struggle for Independence and Sovereignty of Lado continues - and that is why the Lado Five Year Action Plan 2001-2005 has been set in motion."

20 July 2001

END

The Battle for the Mind...

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

It is just a matter of time before the name Lado will be on everybody's lips and in the Medias around the World, and the Politicians in Africa and in Europe will have to answer questions from the Public about their Secrecy and Pussyfooting Policies on the Issue of Lado.

Lado has long been a Burning Issue on the International Arena, but the Name and the Issue has been largely unknown to the general public in the Countriesof Europe (the Western World).

Lado was Hidden
but not Forgotten
To the average African the existence of Lado is no Secret, though no African outside the Lado Territory in Central Africa and the Nile-Congo Watershed would dare mention the name Lado for fear of serious reprisals against himself and his family.

British Removed
Lado from the Map
Since the joint British/Belgian Occupation of the State of Lado in 1947, when the British removed the State of Lado from the Map, the British made great efforts, with the keen assistance of successive Governors, to hide Lado behind the Occupation Lines.

They had no doubt hoped to maintain this stalemate situation until the Resiliance of the Lado People had waned, and the Country's Existence had ceased to exist in Foreign Minds.

Lado has Managed
Against All Odds
Against all


odds, and in spite of the Occupation Forces, materialised by Ugandan, Rwandan, Kenyan and South African troops, Lado has managed to exist and function as a Country with a Provisional Government and a well organised Administrative Apparatus operating its Internal Affairs (referring to Lado) inside the Country.

The War against
the National Identity
"What do you do if you want to Colonise a Country and Exploit its Human and Natural Resources?", asks King John Bart Agami of Lado, the Onzima II, who speaks from his refuge in Copenhagen.

"You take away the Country's Identity, pretend that the Country never existed, and try to break down the National Spirit by undermining the Culture, Language and Customs, and first of all you Eliminate its Leaders."

Breakdown
through Education
"This is particularly done through the Education System andby forbidding the National Language which is the age-old way of Imperialism and Colonialism, because by removing the Young People's Language, you separate them from their Families, rob them of their Identity and leave them Weak and Rootless and with no Knowledge of their own Country, History and National Heritage."

Language
is the Key
"Language is the Key Factor for National Identity since that is vital for Communication, Understanding and Maintaining the Unity of the Nation.

That explains why the European Colonisers have grouped the African Countries into Language Communities according to the Colonisers' own Language: The Anglophone, the Francophone, the Lusophone and the Ladophone.

Even inside the Organisation of African Unity (the OAU) these Languages are used as the Official Languages for Negotiation, Communication and Education, in spite of the fact that


Minds..."

Lado has taken up
the Challenge
"The Lado People have al-ready taken things into their own hands, and the Deco-lonisation is in progress on an unprecedented Scale.

Inside the Lado Hills and Valleys - in the Enclave between the neighbouring countries of Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Congo-Zaire and the Central African Republic - there is a Strong Awareness of the National Identity of Lado and an unrelentless Struggle for Independence and Sovereignty which before long will put the State of Lado on the Map and make Lado a bona fide Mem-ber of the International Community, including of course the United Nations."

A High
Price to Pay
"Although the Price for Freedom and Independence has seemed incredibly high, with the loss of more than four million Lives and countless Refugees since 1897 and up till today(State-less Persons, Displaced Persons and Exiled Persons) during the past four years, there is no way back for the Lado People who have taken the National Responsibility to take the Matters of In-dependence and full Sove-reignty into their own Hands."

24 August 2000

The Annihilation of the Lado People Continues…
A Cruel Genocide is systematically being carried out behind Closed Doors hunting down the Lado People in Africa’s Forgotten Land

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

More than three million People in the Lado Enclave, spread over the area of Southern Sudan, Eastern Congo–Zaire and North Western Uganda, have Died or Disappeared without a Trace during the past ten years.

An Abyss of Terror
and Bloodshed
The fighting intensified in Congo–Zaire when Ugandan and Rwandan Troops inaded in a bid to oust Congolese President Laurent Kabila. The Ugandan/Rwandan


move, which was backed by Britain and the US, threw the Region into an Abyss of Terror and Bloodshed commited against the Civilian Population, not only by the Regular Ugandan and Rwandan Government Troops, but also by at least fifty-two Rivalling Rebel Groups.

Under Cover
Ethnic Cleansing
Under this Blanket of Violence, Systematic Operations of Ethnic Cleansing are carried out against Lado’s Population, the Luu, Lui, Luo, Lue and especially against the Lugbari and Kakwa Tribes, to speak nothing of the socalled "Nubians" who simply consist of People from all Lado Tribes - with the only difference that they have a Muslim Denomination.

"Ethnic Cleansing of Lado People has been going on since 1948, but the Atrocities, the Massacres in our Villages and the Death Camps have been kept Secret because ofCountry back on the Map and the Independence and Sovereignty, which according to UN Resolution 43/47 of 1988 should have been a Fact by Year 2000 of the latest", says King Agami, who has made a Pledge to put the Lado Nation back on the Map in its Rightful Place in Central Africa where the immediate Neighbours are Congo–Zaire, Sudan, Uganda, C.A.R. (Central African Republic), Kenya and Ethiopia.

Foreign Troops
Ordered Out by UN
After years of Footdragging, there may finally be some Light at the end of the Tunnel as the United Nations Security Council last week (June 2000) decided that the Ugandan and Rwandan Troops are to withdraw from Lado Territory with Immediate Effect.

The UN Security Council Decision has created Fury in the Anglo-American Camp as they see their


Plan for a Final Take-over and Control of Lado Collapse.

"When the Anglo-American Controlled Aggressors are but, we may begin to realistically hope for a UN Decision to Recognise Lado as an Independent and Sovereign State," says the King who wants an end to his Country being used as a Battleground by Foreign Warlords and the Superpowers.

Remnants of
Colonialism
"The many Wars and Armed Conflicts raging on the African Continent, in Congo-Zaire, in Sierra Leone, and between Ethiopia and Eritrea are Remnants of the European Partitioning of the African Continent splitting Kingdoms, States and People regardless of their Cultural or Ancestral Background," says the King. "The present National Entities and their Borderlines are not Natural but have instead resulted in a number of Artificially Created States inhabited by People of DifferentNational and Cultural Heritage. Within these Nations, these People have been forced to Subordinate to a Common and Artificial Nationality with no relation to their own Heritage.

This is the real Tragedy of Africa and the Main Cause for the Endless Armed Conflicts, Rebel Movements, Genocides and Refugee Crisises.

The Master Takes
the Spoil
The History Books bring Numerous Accounts of War-lords and their Armies who have Robbed and Raped, taken the Spoils of a Conquered Country and Enslaved or Deported its Inha-bitants.

Africa is a Living Example of Modern Day Imperialism and Slavery.

On this King Agami says: "The vast Majority of the Natural Resources and the good Farmland are in Foreign Hands in the former Colonial Possessions of Africa, owned by the Powerful Transnational Organisations who gra-ciously let the Africans work as


to the Almighty Employers, to the Relief Agencies, the "Donor Coun-tries" and not least the British Commonwealth," continues King Agami.

The Commonwealth and the British Crown keep their Realm in a Tight Grip. From their fifty-four Members, plus their Old Colony the United States of America, whom they hold in the Family through the old British "The Virginia Com-pany", the British Crown Scores Neat Percentages of all Goods Sold."

Mr. 100 Percent Takes
All the African Wealth
"Through their Affiliated Companies and Institutions, the British Crown, which is at the Top of the Pyramid in the British Commonwealth, gets the Major Part of what-ever is Exported to the Markets of the Rich World.

That is why the African Commonwealth Family Members are Cultivating Vast Farmlands to growing Luxury Goods, such as Tobacco, Coffee,Cocoa, Bananas, Cotton, etc., in order to Stock the Shelves of the Shops and the Supermarkets in the West. All the while the Africans and their Children are forced to work like Slaves with Hungry Bellies and no Rights. Not even the Rights to their own Land and its Resources.

Those who have not been Fortunate enough to find Slave Labour are Lucky if they can Survive on Hand-outs donated by the Relief Agencies who are Competing to Provide for the Hungry and Needy Masses in the Third World, whose Children they can use as Guinea Pigs in their "Mass Innoculation Programs".

Africa is a Giant
Laboratory
"There are many Ways to carry out Population Control, and all known types have been tried with varying Success through the Colonisation Centuries.

A sure Winner


are incidentally the same who own and man the Petrochemical Companies, the Food Companies, the Mining Companies, Arms Companies, the Financial Corporations, etc., etc.

Throw in Politicians, Government Members and Crowned Heads who either have Invested in Shares or hold Board Positions in these World-wide Corporations that mer-ge and grow into ever Bigger Monopolies and eventually become our "New Global Masters."

Diamonds are the
Crown’s Best Friend
The British Commonwealth is a Hard and Brutal Master who does not like to be cheated of his or her "Rightful" Loot. That explains the present Scenario in Sierra Leone where the West African Population has called down on their Heads the Wrath of their British "Colonial Masters".

"The British Paratroopers and their Loyal Renegades, the socalled "Government Troops", had been set in to stop theCountry from taking Charge of their own Resour-ces, i.e. the Diamonds," says King Agami.

"The whole problem started when some of Sierra Leone’s Military Generals had enough of the Commonealth Rule and formed the RUF (Revolutionary United Fronts) which in fact consist of Regular National Army Units led by General Foday Sankoh and Military Officers trained by the British in the KAF (King’s African Rifles).

They Nationalised the Diamond Mines and with the assistance of President Charles Taylor in Liberia, Sierra Leonean Diamonds were sold Direct to Markets in Belgium, Germany and Denmark.

However, these Bold and Direct Marketing Practices are not exactly Mr. Common-wealth’s Cup of Tea.

It leaves no Kick-backs or Fleshy Doggy Bones to the London Houses where Tea is served to the Subservient Leaders of the Common-wealth Family


Members out of Cups of fine china when they meet and dine with the Queen at their Family Gathering every two years.

Loyalty Sworn at
the Royal Tea Party
"During the Royal Tea Party they Swear Loyalty to the Realm in Eternal Gratitude for the Glamour and Abundance with which they are Awarded," explains King Agami, "and not only themselves, but their Sons and Daughters and Enlarged Families who are given free Education Grants at the finest British Institutions.

And, voila, you have created a new Third World Nobility who live in their own Ivory World and who couldn’t care less about their Suffering Countrymen who starve and die outside the Armoured Gates of their Leaders.

Who doesn’t remember Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham?

That was the Scenario of England many Centuriesago. Well, today it is the Scenario of Africa – only there is no Robin Hood around."

The British Commonwealth not only benefits as Mr. 100 percent, Mr. 50 percent or Mr. 10 percent and Direct the Markets for its Family Members - but it Rewards those of its Allies handsomely with a Fair Share of the Bargain who are Instrumental in Aiding to its Success.

In fact the Old Partners from the days of the Slave Trade get their Neat Percentage. Such a Willing Partner is the Seafaring Nation Denmark who oversees the Admini-strative System in for instance Uganda and acts as Mr. Middleman in the running of the Old African Colo-nies of the Commonwealth.

Lado has Never
Succumbed
"The African Nations are awakening to the Grim Facts that their Leaders are


merely the Puppets of their Old Colonial Masters and that all the Wealth of their Countries goes into these Pockets," King Agami says.

"In Zimbabwe the Nation has gone into Shock and then a Spiral of Violence when it hit the fan that the hard-fought Independence was nothing but a Mockery.

A bitter President Robert Mogabe lashed out with Accusations against the "Bunch of Gays in the British Government" undermining and running the Country, and he threatens to Nationalise the Foreign Owned Mines and Companies.

All this Chaos, Rage and Violence has been caused when the British and the Americans failed to honour the Agreement signed in London in 1980 according to which they committed themselves to compensate the White Farmers when the land was handed back to the Zimbabwan People.

Thereis a Great Awakening all over Africa, and particularly the Young Africans are determined to be the Masters in their own House," says King Agami who expects to see a Revived and Different Africa in two Generations’ time.

"In Lado we have never and will never succumb to a Foreign Aggressor.

We have, as the only one of the African Nations, never signed over the Rights to our Ancestral Land."

King Agami was Jailed, Beaten and Tortured by British Officers in Kampala in 1962, and was sentenced to Death by a Military Court when he refused to sign a Document handing over the Sovereignty of Lado to the British Crown. The Sentence was later reduced to seven years Imprisonment.

Miraculously, he managed to Escape, barely Alive, and with the Help of his


Coun-trymen was taken to Safety and Medical Treatment in a Safe Country. For Decades after the Escape, the British Pretended that the Heir to the Throne of Lado was Dead, just as they still try to pretend that Lado and the Lado People do not Exist.

Sneaked in through
the Back Door
After the British Occupation of Egypt in 1882 Egypt was made an "Anglo-Egyptian Condeminium", and Lado was Occupied through Egypt already in 1871 under the Sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire which gave the British an Opportunity to sneak in through the Back Door.

"The Agofe of Lado never signed a Document handing over the Rights to the British or any other Occupier", says King Agami.

Illegal
Occupation
"This means that the British/Belgian Occupation, which included Erasing Lado from the Map, has been Illegalall along according to Article 6 of the Berlin Treaty of 26 February 1885.

No wonder that the Illegal Colonial Masters were so Eager to Erase their Theft and thought they could effectively Cover the Crime by giving Lado the name "Equatoria", and recently just degradingly refer to Lado as "The Area".

Put Lado on
the UN Agenda

"Until now they have successfully been getting away with Genocide of the Lado People by letting their Ugandan, Kenyan, Rwandan and South African Commonwealth Troops slaughter our People behind Closed Doors in "The Area".

But "The Area" is Lado, and if the World Leaders mean anything with their Beautiful Speeches on Human Rights, an End to Ethnic Cleansing, the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Peace in Africa, they will make sure to put the Lado


Issue of Independence and Sovereignty on the Next Agenda of the UN General Assembly which is September 2000.

It remains to be seen whether the UN will still accept this Illegal Occupation.

And will the United Nations accept that the UN Resolution 43/47 of 22 November 1988, which must be implemented by year 2000, is still violated.

Lado’s Independence is long Overdue, and we demand the Independence of Lado now."

30 June 2000

The Lado People take Pride
in their National Identity...

The Country that is said not to exist, and the People said not to exist are aware
of their National Identity and the State of Lado as their own Political Entity.

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

Independence
Declared

The Independence of Lado was officially declared in January Year 2000 by the Agofe, Onzima II of Lado, King John BartAgami, in accordance with the UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960, UN Resolution 43/47 of 22 November 1988 and Articles 1 and 73 of the UN Charter of 26 June 1945.

Finally
Freeing Themselves

After 53 years of Occupation, from 1947 jointly by Britain and Belgium, the Lado People are finally freeing themselves from the Yoke of Oppression and are realising that their Hopes of becoming once again an Independent Political Entity is finally within Reach.

To the Outside World it has appeared, at least since 1947, that Lado does not exist, attempting to split Lado into two parts by the British and Belgian Colonisers continues with the assistance of the former Colonies: Sudan, Uganda and Congo-Zaire.

Internal Affairs
are a Lado Affair

However, in Lado itself the Internal Affairs of


from 1772 AD, a system which was supported and upheld by the Vatican through their Envoys, the Austrian Franciscan Fathers, from their arrival in Lado in 1711", says King John Bart Agami from his temporary residence in Denmark.

The African
System Works

This explains why it was so important for the European Colonisers to wipe the State of Lado off the World Map to hide the fact that the African System works in handling their own Affairs in spite of consistant onslaughts to their Sovereignty by various Foreign Aggressors.

Papal Intervention
to Defend Lado

At the Vienna Congress in 1815 Pope Pius VII asked Austria, Preussia and Russia to defend Lado against Britain, France and Portugal who were the three major Powers in Africa at the time.

The Pope's Concern was provoked by the progressionof Colonialism as a replacement of Slavery since the Slave Trade had started to become conspicuously Inhuman and, perhaps more importantly, Economically Unprofitable.

It was in this Climate that the leading Slave Trading Nations: Britain, France and Portugal - and Denmark benefitting from the Trade by transporting the African Slaves to the Market Places in Europe and America - found that it was more lucrative to enslave the Africans at Home, i.e. in Africa.

Colonialism
is Modernised Slavery

Along with the findings of Minerals and Precious Stones, Cheap Labour was in high demand on the African Soil which was to be Mined and Cultivated for the growth of Luxury Commodities, Foodstuffs, Cash Crops and Plantations for European and American Comsumption.

The Aim of Colonialism was to create New Markets in Africa, taking the


African Raw Materials (Minerals and Agricultural Produce) and shipping them to Western Europe and America for manufacture whereupon the Manufactured Goods were sold in the New Markets in Africa at an Overprice.

Foreign Debts Chaining Africans
in Perpetual Poverty

This chain of events has chained the African Population in Perpetual Poverty, e.g. the Foreign Debt to African Independent Countries which is the modern and authorised form of Slavery.

Thus the three Big C's were introduced into the African Nations: Civilisation, Christianity and Commerce.

This Hidden Agenda, which is still in force for Africa today, was covered by a Front "The British Anti-Slavery Society" which was ironically established in 1839 to campaign for an end to the Inhumane Slavery.

Colonial Rules
Enforced by Military

Slavery was thus transformed into Colonialisation starting with the Dismantling of the existingAfrican Kingdoms and Nations, drawing Colonial Borders and bringing in the Military to enforce the Colonial Rules over the African People, all of which was formalised in August 1875 at the Paris Conference.

Ten years later, at the Berlin Conference, 15 November 1884 to 26 February 1885, the Slave Masters took the next step, splitting the Cake by partitioning Africa amongst themselves, and this time the Partners included the USA, the Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and Imperial Russia.

African Nations Ruled by Loyal
Colonial Leaders

Today's socalled Independent African Countries are Remnants of the "Split Cake" (African Partition), which are ruled by Kings, Presidents and Prime Ministers who are loyal to their former Colonial Masters.

The African Heads of Governments have chosen to pretend that the State of Lado does not exist, just as


to sign over their Sovereignty to any Colonial Power has irritated the British to such a degree that they invented the term "The Area", which is the "Lado Enclave", as it was referred to by France and Belgium in 1894, which by International Law is the State of Lado.

Ethnic and Religious
Tolerance in Lado

The British referred to the Lado Protestant Community as "The Native Anglican Communion" (NAC) or "West Nile", which was a Big Lie since the Lado People consist of Four Main Religions Communities of Equal Standing: the Ori Religion Community, the Catholic Religion Community, the Protestant Religion Community and the Muslim Religion Community.

Between these Four Main Religious Communities Lado consists of Four Ethnic Communities: The Luu Community (Sudanic), the Lui Community (Sudanic), the Luo Community (Nilotic) andthe Lue Community (Hamitic).

Equal Rights
in Lado

These Ethnic Communities belong to all the Four Religions Communities, and the Lado Government has specifically established an Inter-Religions Council with the Ecumenical Congregation, consisting of Delegates from all Religions Communities to deal with any Conflicts or Issues arising whether they be Theological or Pastoral Matters, which is to prevent Religious or Civil Wars inside Lado.

The highest Authority of the Lado Inter-Religions Council is the Agofe himself, and directly under him is the Lado Dicastry of Religion, the Ministry that draws up the Overall Legislation concerning the Interacting of the Religions Communities in order to uphold the Mutual Understanding, Respect and, not least, the Responsibility to the People of Lado.

Spirit of Lado National Identity
sustained since 1505

It has been difficult to break down this


well-functioning system of Law, Order and Justice which has upheld the State of Lado since 1505 sustaining and maintaining the Spirit of the Lado National Identity.

The otherwise fool-proof warfare of "Divide and Rule" has not been effective when it comes to the Affairs of the State of Lado though the Lado Enclave has been Isolated by their Surrounding Neighbours under the Direct Influence of their former Colonial Masters.

Through the Auspices of "Religious Conflicts and Wars", Genocides and Ethnic Cleanings have been committed with impunity through the Nineteenth Century.

Atrocities Committed under
Guise of Religion

In the name of Religion such Atrocities are still taking place even today though Religion is rarely the Real Issue, but in fact are purely Political and Economic Issues covering "National and Vital Interests" of the Countriesconcerned or Third Parties.

Hidden Agenda
behind "Cult Murders"

Behind the present "Cult Murders" in Uganda lies such a Hidden Agenda being covered by the Smoke Screen of Religion.

Reliable Sources close to the Events indicate that the particular Religious Cult is merely a Front which has been set up in order to destroy and exterminate Certain Unwanted Ethnic Groups or People.

Cult was
an Evil Invention

The Cult was an Evil Invention to carry out the Ethnic Cleansing under the Cover of Religion which was to convince the World that it was Mass Suicide by Religious Devotees.

According to these Sources the more than 900 Bodies of mainly Women and Children, who have so far been dug out, have been Executed, either by Strangling, by Hanging or by other means.

Who are
the Victims?

The Question still remains:


Wars and the Genocides in the Region of Central Africa are Tribal Squabbles and Conflicts between different Ethnic Groups which is not entirely true.

Just the way the World continues to pretend that Lado does not exist, and that the People of Lado: The Luu People, the Lui People, the Luo People and the Lue People are non-existing.

The Lado
Muslims
Among these Ethnic Groups are the Lado Muslims (Luu and Lui) - incorrectly referred to by the British as "The Nubians" who were recruited into the British Imperial Army (King's African Rifles) in 1891 under the Kavalli Agreement of 17 September 1891.

The Agreement was signed by the English Captain Frederick D. Lugard who later became the Governor-General of Nigeria and Major Selim Matera, a Citizen of Lado.

It was Gov.Gen. Lugard whodeveloped the British Colonial Doctrine called "The Dual Mandate" (Indirect Rule), which is still in force through the Commonwealth Pyramid Divide-and-Rule System with the Queen/King on top, and under the Sovereign Head are the British Administrators, and below them the Local African Chiefs.

British Administrators
replaced by African Presidents

The only difference today is that the British Administrators are replaced by the African Presidents who are operating as Governor-Generals dancing to the tune of Remote Control.

These British Commonwealth African Kings, Presidents and Prime Ministers rule in the firm belief that they are the True Sovereign Heads of their Countries. But in actual fact they have been reduced to mere Governor-Generals/Administrators (International Public Law).

"That explains why the many different Indiginous Peoples of Africa, consisting of four Main Races (Bantus, Hamitics, Sudanics and


Nilotics) believe they are Independent", says King Agami.

The Hutu
and Tutsi Conflict
That is also the reason behind the Conflict between the Tutsis (Hamitics) and the Hutus (Bantus) in Rwanda and Burundi.

However, few people realise that the Real Owners of Rwanda and Burundi are the Indigenous People, the Twa People (Batua), who are close counsins of the Pygmies. Rwanda and Burundi (formerly Urundi) used to be one Country, along with Tanganyika, before the First World War. The Territory belonged to Germany and was known as German East Africa.

Colonial
Legacy
When the First World War ended, Rwanda-Urundi (Burundi) was given to Belgium, and Tanganyika to the British under the Versailles Treaty of 28 June 1919.

Today's Conflict between the Tutsis and the Hutus is a direct result of the Division of the former German

Coloniesinto two parts, one for Britain (Tanganyika) and one for Belgium (Rwanda-Urundi).

Deliberate
Discrimination
The Belgians chose to rule by appointing the Minority Tutsis "Most Favored Ethnic Group", which carried them forward as the African Intelligentsia Class or the Ruling Elite, who as the new Slave Masters were used to suppress all the other Ethnic Groups.

"This is the Root of the Problem, and unless that is recognised and a Political Solution is found, there will be no end to the Bloodshed and Genocide in Central Africa", says King Agami.

The African
Identity
"The Key to a lasting Peace in Africa, and particularly in

Central Africa, is that Lado is recognised as an Independent and Political Entity and a Sovereign State, and replaced on the World Map as one of the oldest Kingdoms in Africa."

First Step
towards


were removed by the British Colonial Authority because of their Mutiny the same year 1897 when they were ordered to go and fight against their own People in Lado", says King Agami.

"The leaders were executed, including their Military Commander, Bilal Amin, the Grandfather of Idi Amin (The Sudanese Mutiny of 1897).

The British have never forgotten nor forgiven the Lado Muslims for this Breach of Discipline, which explains why these displaced People referred to as "The Nubians", are still being punished as "Unwanted Persons."

Treated like
the American Indians
"Apart from being held in the Special Settlements as Prisoners, the Lado Muslims (Nubians) are being heavily discriminated against, very much like the American Indians were treated by the European Invaders one hundred years ago", says King Agami.

"We want these People to returnto their Homeland in Lado, an Objective which can only be achieved through an International Conference on Lado and on Central Africa."

The UNHCR
Assistance
"The assistance of the UNHCR is absolutely necessary in order to repatriate the Lado Muslim Families and then resettle them among their respective Clans in Lado", says King Agami.

Lado
Independence
"That must necessarily also mean that Lado gains her Independence and Sovereignty and is put back on the Map under her own Name as the Kingdom of Lado, just as UN Resolution 43/47 of 22 November 1988 stipulates, including the UN Resolution 1514 XV of 14 December 1960 plus Article 1 and 73 of the UN Charter of 26 June 1945", says King Agami.

"If we are to secure a Lasting Peace with our Neighbours, and this concerns particularly


Key to Peace in Central Africa, in the Nile Valley Basin and in the Great Lakes Region and Terra Nullius, which has been protected by Articles 6 and 15 of the Berlin Treaty of 26 February 1885", says the King.

"In such a Conference the Independence and Sovereignity of Lado is naturally absolutely Essential since the Waterways in Central Africa all pass through Lado."

Countdown to Year 2000:
Three Weeks to
Lado Independence...

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

The Home is where the Heart is, so the saying goes. It is an old and accepted Truth, but it is not a fact for everyone.
The Country, Lado, which since the dawn of Earth has been considered the Heart of Africa, and not least the Heart of the Planet, has been denied the Right to call theirland 'Home' for the past fifty-two years.
All the same the Heart of Lado is still beating.

Wiped off
the Map
Lado was wiped off the World Map in 1947 after 34 years of unsuccessful Occupation by the British from 1913.
Before 1913 Lado was an Independent and Sovereign Country, the size of the British Isles, with a Constitution from 1772, situated at the Upper Nile Valley in the Nile-Congo Watershed Region, and since 1871 called 'Equatoria' as a part of the Ottoman Empire's Divide and Rule Policy.

Lado was Administered
through Egypt
The British Influence started when they signed the Constantinople Agreement in May 22, 1887, when they administered Lado through Egypt, which incidentally was then a possession of the Ottoman Empire.
The first two Governor's of Lado, Col. Sir Samuel Baker (1871-1873) and Col. Charles


George Gordon (1874-1876) were appointed through the British, but their salaries were paid by the Ottoman Empire.

British Pretended
not to be a Part
From 1876-1878 two American Colonels were Governors of Lado, viz. Col. Henry G. Prout and Col. Alexander A. Mason, and neither the British nor the American Governors lasted very long as formal Occupiers.
Officially the British pretended that they did not have a part in it, perhaps because the Sovereignty was still under Turkish Control.
The other reason was that France was fighting Britain over Egypt which was secretly under Military Occupation by Britain since 1882.

British
Knack for Secrecy
The British have always had a knack for Secrecy and have made their Fame from the 'hiding behind the bush' Game and Method, and that is especially obvious in the case ofLado in Central Africa.
The British logo has been that of the Three Monkeys, who don't Hear, don't See and don't Talk, and even in the extraordinary case that they should see, they certainly don't talk.
Another term for that kind of Policy, very much practised in the EU (European Union), in the WTO (World Trade Organisation) and in other such Clubs, is the 'Closed Doors Policy'.

Need for
'Open Heart Policy'
"What we need now, and what the World needs now, is an 'Open Door Policy' and not least an 'Open Heart Policy'", says the Agofe of Lado, King John Bart Agami, the ONZIMA II of the century-old Dynasty of Kings in Central Africa.
"We are turning away from the old Millenium of War and Injustice, and entering into a new and brighter


(Terra Nullus)."

Pray that the
Hearts will be Opened
"My Prayer is that this message will get into the Hearts and Minds of the Leaders of the World and be understood by the Ordinary Citizens of the World, including Lado, and that our Hearts will be opened when the Millenium turns into a higher and happier Wave Length that will also encompass Lado and its position on the Equator and at the Heart Centre of Africa and the World."

Take Lado
into the Hearts
"It is Time that the World and its People take Lado into their Hearts by recognising Lado's Sovereignty and Independence in the Year 2000..."

Year 2000 - Deadline
for Peace or War...

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

The Blair Government, of the British Ruling New Labour Party, may find itself in a bitof a squeeze as their Policy on the Lado Independence Issue may jeopardise the credibility of the English Queen Elizabeth II herself.
In 1954 on April 30, two years after her Accession to the Throne, the English Queen Elizabeth II solemnly agreed with the Agofe of Lado, King John Bart Agami, that Lado would be granted Indepen-dence already in 1960.

The Jinja Bridge Pact
The Agreement became known as the Jinja Bridge Pact and was drawn up in 1953 jointly by Sir Winston Spencer Churchill who was the Prime Minister of Britain at the time, and the Emperor of Ethiopia, His Imperial Majesty, Haile Selassie (Tafari).

Stalin Pushed the British
The Pact was reached after lengthy negotiations held in Valetta on the Island of Malta in early 1953 before Stalin's death who since


1947 had pushed the British to act on the Lado Question.
"Had it not been for Stalin's untimely passing, Lado would have long since been an Independent Country and represented in the United Nations along with all the other Sovereign States in the General Assembly", says King Agami.
"The Question of Lado was raised for the first time in the United Nations at a UN Con-ference lasting from 28 April to 15 May 1947 by the then Soviet Permanent Representative to the U.N., Andrei A. Gromyko, who later became the Foreign Minister of the USSR.
On this Conference, which incidentally was called by Britain, three Key Issues were discussed, i.e. the Palestine Question, the creation of the new State of Israel, and the Independence of Lado."

Lado was Cheated
"The decision at theU.N. was to grant all three parties Independence, but as everyone knows, only one of these decisions was implemented with the realisation of the State of Israel in 1948.
A lot of bloodshed, anger, pain and millions of displaced and stateless persons have up to now been the result of the lack of implementation of the Palestine and Lado Questions."
By now there remains to be granted Independence to eighteen countries in the World, of which the five are the Palestine, East Timor, Western Sahara, Lado and St. Helena.

Lado not in the Public Eye
"The first three countries, the Palestine, East Timor and Western Sahara, are on the verge of Independence be-cause they have for a long time been burning issues and in the Focus of the Public Eye making their


Suffering and Quest for Freedom a Matter of Conscience for the People of the World.
However, the Plight of Lado and St. Helena, both African Nations and both under foreign occupation (Lado Britain/Belgium, St. Helena Britain), has been that of oblivion, covert oppression and shadow boxing on behalf of the two countries."

Lado and St. Helena
in the Same Boat
"Lado is in exactly the same boat as St. Helena as our issues have never been allowed to be discussed in the open and as all topics concerning us have been swept under the carpet", says King Agami.
"The question of National Identity is one of crucial importance to any Man, and the Right of all People on the Planet Earth.
Although it is even one of the foremost Principles of the United NationsCharter, the Lado Peole and the St. Helena People have been denied the Right to even exist, let alone their Independence.The very name "Lado" is the Forbidden Word in the World of Politics and Diplomacy, and not least on the African Continent where there is severe Penalty, even Death, for expressing a single syllable about Lado and its existence as a Nation State or a People."

Lado never called
by its True Name
Lado is always referred to as either the unruly "North-Western Region of Uganda", "the North-Eastern Region of Congo", or even "Equatoria, Region of Sudan", but never by its true and genuine name "Lado".
In fact the mere mention of the name Lado triggers a jittery shock in diplomatic circles, as it is becoming an increasingly embarassing issue for the


former Colonial Powers spearheaded by Britain, its Commonwealth Countries and Institutions enforced by their musclemen their American cousins (through the powers of the old Virginia Company).

The Hidden Agenda
But then it is no wonder that the Lado Question has be-come such a Hot Potato to the Ruling Powers of the World when you consider that the Hidden Agenda of the Anglo-American Conglomeration is to create a new state on Lado Land (Territory) by the name of "Southern Sudan".
"The idea is to hand over Lado Land to Black Americans, as it was done in Liberia, which will help "White America" to get rid of some of its Black Citizens that constantly remind them of their infamous and shameful Slave Past."

Annihilation of Lado People
"Invariably this scheme will involve the Annihilation ofthe Rightful Owners of Lado Land, the Indigenous People of the Luu, Lui, Luo and Lue origin.
These are the National Identities of Lado, and this ex-plains why the name Lado is not even whispered in the Corridors of Power.
Lado has been occupied, but never colonised, since 26 May 1871 by an International Force led by the US military based in Egypt."

Covert Operations
"The Force, which operated under the pretext of fighting the Slave Trade, was the "NATO" of that day (1871), and as history goes yet another American President, General Ulysses Simpson Grant had been manipulated (or forced) by the British Crown to do the dirty work under the auspices of an under-cover Agreement of the Ottoman Empire Sovereignty of which Egypt was a Possession at the time.
The Implementation


of the Creation of this new "Slave State", and part of the Secret Anglo-American Colonisation Program of Africa, was preceded by a recent Fact-Finding Mission to Lado carried out by Congressmen Donald M. Payne (a Black American) and Tom Tancredo, and Senator Sam Brownback."

Congress Passed
Resolution to Invade
"Coinciding with the Mission of these three Gentlemen, a Resolution was passed in the US Congress in June 1999 that the US is to supply Arms and Finances to the South Sudan Liberation Army and the South Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement under the pretext of fighting the Arabs in North Sudan.
Part of the Scheme, and the Reason for the Passing of the Resolution in Congress, was to conjure a deliberate Misinformation on the whole situation in the Region which is to hideis Lado Territory, inhabited by Luu, Lui, Luo and Lue People.
The present Rebel War is fought, not in South Sudan, but in Lado (called Equatoria from 20 May 1871), and the real South Sudan People are situated six degrees north of the Lado/Sudan Border to Egypt.
These South Sudan People, living inside the Republic of Sudan, are Dinka, Nuer, Anuak and Shilluk People who have no connection whatsoever to Lado and Lado People.
Consequently, the Phony War is being fought in the Wrong Place and by the Wrong People and for the Wrong Reasons under the pretext of the Christian Victims versus the Cruel Arab Muslims in North Sudan."

US Mission Misinformed
"The US Fact-Finding Mission was based in the town Yei, which is in the Heart of Lado, and very far


away from South Sudan, and yet the Honourable Senator and the Congressmen failed to see that they had physically been enjoying the Hospitality and received the Protection of the People of Lado, and not the People of South Sudan.
Instead they manufactured a totally false Report which has fatally resulted in the disastrous Resolution passed by the US Congress in June 1999, a Resolution which will invariably result in the Commitment of the US Government and the Deployment of US Troops, Arms and Finance to fight inside Lado."

British Crown in Charge
"However, and whichever the mighty US Congress may decide, it will be the British Crown who will be in charge of the Overall and Tactical Activities (the Brain and the Muscle).
The game is played through all the institutions ofthe British Crown, and some of the most useful on-the-spot players are Uganda, Kenya and South Africa to which country all the weapons are being shipped and distributed."

Peace or War
rests with Britain
"The whole Issue of Peace or War - since the Queen's Pro-mise in 1954 - rests with the present Labour Government, the same Party which was in power under Prime Minister, Clement Richard Attlee, in 1947 when the Issue of Lado's Independence was discussed in the United Nations.
The only difference is that the Party now calls itself the "New Labour Party, but it remains to be seen whether the new Prime Minister, Anthony Charles Blair, has the courage to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's Word of 1954 forty-five years ago".

Lado Independence
Declaration 2000
"If not, the People of


all countries and peoples Freedom, Sovereignty and Independence.

A Case of
Fight or Die
That explains the hectic stepping up of military activity in those parts of the World where there is not concensus to submit into the New World Order (NWO) system.
„It is a Secret War for return to Slavery“, says the Agofe of the Central African State, Lado, in the Upper Nile Valley, King John Bart Agami, who with his people are fighting an intense battle to end the foreign occupation of their country.
And for the Ladoans it is a case of fight or die. All other options have been exhausted after decades of endless diplomatic talks, hundreds of letters to the UN and Government Leaders and fruitless attempts to interest the international media in the plight of Lado,the country which was supposed to be the 'Forgotten Kingdom of Africa'.

Blueprint
is ready
„But the Heart of Africa is refusing to die and give in to the overmight“, says King John Bart Agami from his residence in Copenhagen from where he is planning a return to Lado before Year 2000 when Independence and Sovereignty becomes a reality.
„The Provisional Government of the State of Lado has a blueprint ready for the entire infrastructure of Lado involving all aspects of government, be it administration, the legal system, defence, education, health, family, production of food and the basic needs of the population, culture, communication, finance and currency and not least international relations.

Ladoans running
their own Affairs
Though Lado is occupied by foreign troops deployed by Britain in the shape of soldiers from the King’s


African Rifles from Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda, the Ladoans manage to run their own infrastructure through their 'Dicastries' administered by religious bishops under whose authority all educational institutions are placed, and through the local Chiefs who are the central and uniting figures for the tribes and families who make up the backbone of the State of Lado.

Lado is synonymous
with Freedom and Liberty
„As the only country in Africa, Lado has never been colonised, and as such Lado’s role is symbolic for the hopes and Spirit of Freedom for the rest of the Continent“, says King Agami who likens Lado to the Heart of Africa, or even the Heart of the Planet Earth with Lado’s central position at the Equator and with the lifegiving force of the Nile as itsa New World Order, but not the World Order dictated by the Disciples of the New World Order who among their numbers count the absolute Elite within Finance, Business and Politics and whose religion is money and by the means of money the total Control of all Countries, Leaders and Peoples.
These 'shadow governments' of the World, who have never been elected, know all too well that Lado is the key to the Liberation of Africa, and the rest of the Humanity, Spiritually, Morally and Physically.
A genuine Liberation from Poverty and Slavery“, King Agami stresses.

Desperate
Situation
However, as the quest for total Global Control and Centralisation of Power, Finances and Resources is intensifying, the situation of the Lado People is becoming absolutely desperate.
Inside Lado itself there is intense fighting by every


man, woman and child to defend their ancestral land, and to resist being dragged to camps in the socalled 'Protected Villages', which the Ugandan troops are operating all over Lado with the expertice of British and American Officers aided by an effective team of hardneck mercenaries.

Men, Women and Children
waiting to be shot
Throughout Uganda, the approx. 200,000 Ladoans, who live and work there, are being rounded up, given in by neighbours who easily point out the tall, lanky and darkskinned Ladoans to the Ugandan Security Forces.
Innocent Ladoans, whole families, are hurled off from their homes in the middle of the night and taken to internment camps where they wait to be shot at the rate of 200 at a time.
Their only Crime is being Ladoan and as such livingproofs of the country which refuses to die and vanish into oblivion with its non-existence on the World Map.

Contract to assassinate
the Royal Family of Lado
Part of the Anglo-American Plan is to eradicate the Royal Family of Lado, and through the years there have been several assassination attempts on King John Bart Agami, whose father was murdered by the same Conspirators in April 1948 just before he was about to address the UN General Assembly in New York on the issue of Independence and Sovereignty for Lado.
„The Trustees not only have a contract out on my life, but have signed contracts with two 'Presidential Candidates' who are both Ladoans. One is in Toronto, whereas the other 'Candidate' lives in London and was taken out by the British from Kampala.

Presidential


Assembly.
It has been a long and tough struggle to get to this point, and the greatest obstacle has been just to get the issue out of the UN Security Council, which has been sitting on the Lado issue for fifty years.
After twenty years of intense and unrelentless footwork the King of Lado, the Agofe, John Bart Agami, is close to the goal.
Lado is now about to be put back on the map of the African continent, as the UN Security Council has now accepted Article 73 of the UN Charter of 26 June 1945 and Article 1 as well as the Resolution 1514 (XVXIV) of 14 December 1960.
These two articles and the resolution cancel the UN usage of Article 12, which was used against Lado.
So far the Britishhave obstructed the independence and more so the sovereignty of the Lado enclave, which they succeeded in hiding away in the shadows of "Equatoria" (Nile Congo Watershed) ever since Lado became occupied territory by the violent assassination of the then sovereign head of the State of Lado, King Agami’s father, in 1948.
The occupation was jointly administered by Britain and Belgium, but in fact none of these countries ever managed to conquer Lado till this day although they manage to administer Lado affairs through their former colonies bordering Lado territory (Congo, Sudan and Uganda).
"The reason why Lado managed to break through the UN locker, was that we managed to bring forward the rights and the legality of the existing Council of chiefs, and the Agofe of Lado, which have


into slave states, and still today they are kept in the stranglehold of colonial power.
Some of these powers are Britain, France, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and even Denmark who formerly occupied Ghana and later sold it to Britain.
The legality of the Berlin Treaty was derived from the Paris Conference which was concluded on 3 August 1875, the aim of which it was to enslave the Africans in their own continent.
Under the pretext that slave trade was inhuman, the European and American leaders came to an understanding and concluded that it would be more profitable to enslave the Africans in their own African continent under European administration who would bring the "blessings" of civilization, Christianity and commerce to the "backward" African souls.
This concept was termed "TerraNullus", in short the land of the continent of Africa belonged to the European and American masters, and not to the rightful owners, the African people.
The procedure for the practical implementation was laid down in the Berlin Conference which started 15 November 1884 and was concluded by signing the Berlin Treaty on 26 February 1885.
In fact the Charter of the OAU (Organization of African Union) of 25 May 1963 was drawn up in such a way as to keep and maintain the legal validity of the Paris Conference of 1875 enshrined in the Berlin Treaty in 1885.
This ingenious way of controlling the African people is surpassed only by the Spanish conquestadoros almost five hundred years ago who enslaved the Indian civilizations of Latin and South America and the


Carribean Islands, including Cuba.
The control is made complete by imposing the language of the colonizers, i.e. culture through the instrument of the education system, religion (Christianity and later Islam) as well as currency and military.
However, that control has never been possible in the State of Lado, which is the real reason why Lado was punished and removed from the world map.
Till this day the Lado Agofe, King Agami, has never signed away the legal rights of the State of Lado and the right of the people of Lado although as late as in September 1962, King Agami was imprisoned by the British in Luzira Upper Prison outside Kampala, where he was badly beaten and tortured because of his refusal to sign a document to hand over the sovereigntyof the State of Lado to her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of the British Empire.
In the following years there have been numerous attempts on his life which is why he and his family have been forced to live in exile for thirty-six years away from their beloved Lado and African soil.
But it will not be long before King Agami will finally be able to set foot on Lado ground and reclaim his rightful kingdom, the legal State of Lado.

Africa-Conflict:

Lado is The Code Word
for Peace and Security ...

Africa is the burning point for Third World War, but holding the Key to Peace in Africa is the small central African State of Lado, which the Anglo-American Governments have tried to eradicate from the world map.

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

Hunger,


displacement, genocide and endless sufferings for the people of the African nations are on the daily menu in the television stations around the world.
Behind all this misery and refugee movements is the military build-up and massing of troops in Southern Sudan, Northern Uganda and around the area of the Nile Region of Lado (formerly Equatoria, Province of Egypt).
Right now forces from Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya are being trained to make a united front and strike an attack on Sudan, apparently over the Southern Sudan issue (the SPLM rebels).
The allied African front is, however, just a covert exercise by Britain and the US to divert the International Community’s attention from the real issue, viz. the Independence of Lado.
This issue is so unbearable for the former Colonial Powers, particularly Britain,who without success have tried to colonise Lado for fifty years, and still today, together with their ally the US attempt to block the issue in the United Nations.
Little do these Superpowers realise though that the building-up of the tension in the heart of Equatorial Africa is the direct path to the Third World War.
The next „Holy War“ could potentially break out with the next strike against the Islamic state of Sudan who is fighting against the SPLM Rebels led by Col. John Garang, who has been given sanctuary by Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni.
High tech arms are supplied in plenty to the Ugandan Government directly by the UK and the US who operate through the multinational companies, who again operate their covert activities through such companies as


Sandline Int. and Executive Outcomes whose head office incidentally is placed in South Africa.
These companies act as fronts for governments and supply the skilled manpower, i.e. professional mercenaries, who by the way were also responsible for the genocide in Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo/Zaire, including Sierra Leone.
The Military Hardware is shipped to the port of Mombasa in Kenya and then taken by trucks to Uganda who, in addition to being a "pseudocolony" of the Anglo-American Government's errand boy Denmark, is the central point for the African United Front (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and partly South Africa).
The battle ground for the „Battle of Africa“, which is really the rich world’s battle for oil, diamonds and other essential commodities, will invariably be on Lado Territory as Lado has beenenveloped with Sudan, Uganda and Congo/Zaire.
The next holy „Big Bang“ between the Muslim and the Christian Worlds will happen in Equatorial Africa inside Lado right at the world’s axes in the Nile-Congo Watershed Region.
Unless there is an international intervention with or without the initiative of the United Nations.
The situation is highly explosive and dangerous for World Peace and Security since an attack by the Christian cohesion against the Islamic Sudan will trigger the Third World War.
Both parties are supported by heavyweight World Powers, and the entire Arab World, with the Muslim North African Nations, are committed to defend Sudan whom they regard as their Islamic Brother.
While all this scheming and massing of arms and troops is taking place behind the television cameras, and in hiding behind the refugee


presence, the World’s Global Power Elite is getting ready to wage the next World War III.
The hidden agenda by the Anglo-American Governments (London and Washington) is to hand over Lado Territory to the SPLM Rebels and ultimately destroy the Government of Sudan which is to be replaced by SPLM people led by Col. John Garang.
That would mean the total annihilation of Lado as a Political Entity, and at the same time it would mean the end of all hope for peace in Central Africa, and indeed the rest of the world.
If the Anglo-American plan is to go ahead unhindered, Africa will be engaged in a long-term war which will bleed the Continent of all human resources and involve the rest of the world in a Muslim/Christian Holy War.
The1899, Lado, had been included as a Province of Egypt, and was in 1871 on 20 May renamed „Equatoria“.
At the same time Sudan became a Separate Political Entity and was known as „Anglo Egyptian Sudan“.
In fact three countries, Sudan, Egypt and Lado were included in the overall Colonial Setup, which was drawn up in the Anglo-Egyptian Agreement of 19 January 1899.
The agreement was signed by Boutros Ghali, Pasha, the grandfather of Boutros Boutros Ghali, the Former Secretary General of the United Nations, and now the Secretary General of the newly established French Community (The Union of Frenchspeaking Countries the equavalent to the British Commonwealth).
On the British side the agreement was signed by Sir Evelyn Baring (Lord Cromer) who was the British Administrator of Egypt, just like the modern


day Former Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Chris Patten.
The handover was signed on behalf of both Sudan and Lado who were never asked for their opinion.
The result became a vast strategic stronghold centered around the Upper Nile Watershed controlling the entire African Continent including East India.
From a British Imperial viewpoint this was an excellent position as a military stronghold (King’s African Rifles) and a means to Control the World Trade.
That ambition remains today and is the real issue behind the many Conflicts in Africa and particularly centered around the Upper Nile Valley and the Watershed Area of Central Africa.
This explains the Genocides in the Great Lakes Region, where Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo/Zaire, among others, are situated.
By orchestrating these Genocides, condoned by the UN Leadership who knew ofthe plans and refused to act, the Conspirators (Britain/the US and France), inci-dentally all Permanent Members of the UN Security Council, were able to cover-up for the Hidden Agenda to their Final Solution for Central Africa.
The Conspirators’ Final Solution is the complete destruction of the State of Lado and the scattering of the People of Lado.
The Final Solution will mean that Lado is partitioned among the neighbouring countries like a birthday cake sliced out to Uganda, Kenya, Congo/Zaire and South Sudan, which will then be termed „Greater South Sudan“.
This is the reason behind the created Conflict in the Upper Nile Valley, in the Great Lakes Region and the Nile Valley Basin, which the innocent bystanders of the world see as a Struggle for Independence of the People of


South Sudan (SPLM, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement).Already during the Colonial Condominium, whereby Britain and Egypt ruled Sudan in union, the British Divide and Rule Policy was put into effect through the socalled „South Sudan Policy“ of 1930.
This Policy was in all its simplicity to split Sudan into two quarrelling parts, one was the Muslim North, the other the Christian South, and the fertile seeds had been planted for a future Religious Conflict between Christians and Muslims. The very same framework you have in Ireland, where the Conflict has lasted for thirty years.
To this end the Conspirators, who are imprisoned in their own Greatness and Powers and refuse to understand the Political Rights of other people, are ready to use all means, be it Military, Political or Mercantile,Britain and Big Business, Uganda is exterminating the People of the small kingdom of LADO in ethnic cleansing operations and in concentration camps.
Before the Year 2000 all countries in the world are to be given Independence according to UN Resolution 43/47 of 1988, but in fact the UN agreed already in 1947 to give LADO Independence.

Colonisers in
frantic Activity
This explains why some elements, orchestrated by the US State Dept. and the Pentagon, with the assistance of CIA and FBI, are working fiercely against the fulfillment of the UN Resolution and are more active than ever before in creating endless havoc and armed conflicts in Africa where Britain and USA still have colonies which they control with an iron fist through their puppet go-vernments.
Via these regimes, who govern by oppression,


brutality, corruption and anything than civil liberties, the Anglo-American Conspirators are carrying out a sweeping recolonisation with the purpose of taking full control of the values and the work force, and with the end objective of gaining World Supremacy.

Uganda is annihilating
the LADO People
One of these puppet countries is Uganda who, with the willing and hipocritical help of the Number One Humanitarian Champion of the World, Denmark, is systematically slaughtering the People of LADO, the country which the former colonial masters have handily renamed „Equatoria“ and mutilated into parts of Uganda, Sudan, Kenya and Zaire (now the Congo).

Denmark acts as
the Go-Between
Denmark’s role in this game is top secret, but public scrutiny is now focusing on the fact that Denmark, through her foreign aid organisation Danida, has placed Danish officialsfor Invasion
The military and security aspects are dealt with by experts from Britain and USA, and from various diplomatic sources it has been confirmed that the Pentagon has sent elite officers to Uganda to train a special force of soldiers from Kenya and Tanzania who are to be used specifically in a regular invasion of LADO Territory.
It means that Britain, USA and Denmark are celebrating their comeback as colonial powers, and if the citizen may wonder where his or her tax money goes, one of the deep black holes carries the label: „Colonial Policy in Africa“.

Museveni placed
by USA and Britain
„President Museveni was placed on the post by Britain and USA who have given him the honourable task of annihilating as many of LADO’s People as possible before Year


People in case of a regular war.

Greedy Eyes
upon LADO
But such old-fashioned ideals as Peace, Freedom and Stability are not what the Anglo-American Conspirators are fighting for. It is the central and strategic position of LADO in the heart of the Nile Valley from where one has control of the whole of Africa, and not least the enormous and unexcavated natural resources in the form of Uranium, Gold, Diamonds and Oil which the giant Multinational Mining Corporations and the International Banking Elite, such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the Bank of International Settlements, just to name a few, have cast their greedy eyes upon.

Protected Camps
are KZ Camps
King Agami, who himself has received his training at British military academies, from which institutions they also recruit peopleand plunder and hurd the survivers off to KZ camps enclosed by military barracks.“

American Military
running KZ camps
According to intelligence sources, American military persons are active inside the camps where the conditions are comparable to those which prevailed in the Nazi extermination camps during the Second World War where torture, executions, rapes and medical experiments were the order of the day.

One and a Half Million LADO’ans
have already been killed
„About one and a half million of my people have either disappeared or been killed by socalled „military activities“, the technical term for ethnic cleansing, but the genocide taking place inside the State of LADO never gets to the world’s attention“, says King Agami, who for the past twelve year has been tirelessly drawing the international attention to the plight of


the LADO people.

200,000 slaughtered
in LADO
„A recent example of the hidden ethnic cleansing in LADO, is 200,000 LADO civilians who were slaughtered in all secrecy in the Ituri Province in eastern Zaire while Kabila kept the world’s attention focused on his invasion.
Behind the horrifying massacre was the Ugandan President Museveni, and masterminding it was the Director of the US Refugee Committee, Roger Winter whose colleagues in the State Dept., Tony Hall and Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Susan Rice, act as the perfect backing group. The unmistakable State Dept. involvement explains why Kabila was ordered not to accept a UN investigation into the murders.“

Madeleine Albright
is not working for Peace
„This gloomy scenario is finansed by taxpayers in the West who believe their hard earned money is being usedto help the starving masses in the socalled „Third World“.
Through friendly satelitte states, such as Denmark, who have very close ties with the US and Britain, limitless funds and resources are being channelled into the vulnerable African nations, already struggling with their colonial borders. The sole purpose is to step up chaos and unrest.
US Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, herself originally a refugee who emerged from the smoking chimneys of the European holocaust, is in charge of US foreign policy, and in unison with the US Secretary of Defence, William Cohen, she is calling the shots.“

Albright is waging
War in Central Africa
It is a joke that Madeleine Albright has earned the reputation „The Woman who travels the World for Peace“. When she visited Uganda last year, she urged President


from the LADO issue.
But if noone interferes soon and prevent a total war from breaking out, the entire African Continent will explode into a holocaust which the world has never seen the like of before and which by far will surpass the European Second World War holocaust. And such a holocaust will invariably cause unpleasant echoes in the West“, concludes King John Bart Agami.

The Lado Issue will be
the Fall of Kabila...

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

As President Laurent Kabila of Congo/Zaire is bracing himself for the unavoidable invasion of the capital Kinshasa, and may be fighting his last fight in Africa, the African Continent is waking up to the Anglo-American Recolonisation Strategy.
To the ordinary observer the war in Congo/Zaire is a fight to topple yet another Africancontrol the heart, you control the whole body“.
Since 1947, when the Sovereignty and Independence of Lado (raised by the then Soviet Union) was about to become a fact in the United Nations, every Prime Minister of Lado has been assassinated by the British, just like King Agami’s father was gunned down on 14 April 1948 two days before he was scheduled to go to New York for the final presentation at the UN General Assembly.

Time is
running out
Time is running short for the enevitable implemen-tation of the UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960 saying that all colonial countries and colonial Peoples must be Independent and the UN General Assembly Resolution 43/47 of December 1988 which dictates that all countries pending Sovereignty and Independence must be


grasp, thus leaving them at the mercy of the Colonial Players and to be used like mindless killing machines by those who claim to be their leaders who again are manipulated by the Colonial Players.
But in the wake of the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, many Africans are beginning to wake up to the cruel fact that the continued fighting and escalating wars in Central Africa are just a strategy to Recolonise the African Continent and to obliterate and crush the State of Lado whose recognition as a Sovereign State is the key to Freedom and lasting Stability in Africa.
Freedom and Stability are the last things that the Colonial Anglo/American Players want to see in Africa, and people of insight and understanding do not give a cent forUS Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s crocodile tears demonstrated in the funeral parade for the American victims of the bombings.

Orchestrating
the War
Same Madeleine Albright is now flying to Nairobi to orchestrate the War in Congo/Zaire, and the next step Sudan, which is a plot to oust President Laurent Kabila, the one Central African President who has seen through the scheme and has refused to obey the British/American command to participate in the final slaughter of the State of Lado („Equatoria“), also known from its ancestral area the Upper Nile Valley.
After the fall of Kabila, the African forces, controlled and financed by the Anglo/American Colonial Players and Big Business, are moving swiftly northwards to overthrow the Sudanese Government in Karthoum.
On their way on destruction they pass through the State of


Lado where they will have a free hand to effectively eradicate the Existence of Lado as a Political and Ethnic Entity so the Colonial Players are once and for all rid of the tiring claims for Sovereinty and Independence of the People of Lado.

"Terra Nullus" is the
Overall Plan
And particularly to end the Lado obstruction to Terra Nullus (i.e. the European decision at the Paris Conference from August 1875 to take and maintain African land for the Europeans), which led to the bona fide Colonialisation of Africa. The Berlin Conference, ending in February 1885, legalised the Paris Conference Decision from 1875: „Terra Nullus“.

Last Chance
for Imperial Dreams
The remaining one and a half years to Year 2000 is the absolute last chance for the Colonial Players to implement their Imperial Dreamsof Terra Nullus.
To this end the perfect alibi is to use troops from Uganda and Rwanda, as well as the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), to do the donkey job for the Colonial Players.

Will to fight Invaders
with Bows and Arrows
However, in spite of the seemingly unavoidable Terra Nullus implementation in Africa, the African people are still determined to fight for their Freedom and Liberty, be it even with Bows and Arrows.
The Agofe of Lado, King John Bart Agami puts it bluntly: „The People of Lado will do everything necessary, and whatever it may take, to remain a Political Entity as an Independent and Sovereign State in Africa.“

New Battleground:
USA and France fight bloody War in Lado and
Central Africa using Refugees as Hostages...

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

The wealthy


nations of Western Europe and the exclusive club the European Union have brought an end to wars in the West. The power battles of the nineties between the old colonial powers is being fought on distant battlefields in Africa where human lives come cheap.
Waging war in the affluent countries in the European Union would be far too costly and would upset not only the present world order, but would set back the trade and economies in the EU.
"What is happening in Central Africa now is in reality a fight between France and the US who are backed by their old ally England“, says the King of Lado, John Bart Agami, who has long struggled to open the eyes of the public to the truth of the African issue.
KingAgami is the rightful heir to the throne of the old kingdom of Lado, the country which is controlled and divided by Britain and Belgium and called the West Nile District which has up till now successfully hidden the true identity of Lado placed on map in the north-western corner of Uganda with Zaire to the East.
King Agami’s father was assassinated in 1948 outside his home as he was preparing to leave to put the Lado question before the United Nations’ General Assembly. He was killed by British emissaries because he refused to accept the division of his country recognized in 1871 by the former oppressors, the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). Then the name Lado was changed into Equatoria.
When the British and Belgians later occupied Lado, the British attempted


to divide the country into first two parts, one part, the western Ituri/Uele in the northeast Zaire (Congo) controlled by the Belgians. The British controlled part of Lado was named Nile/Equatoria, the latter now appearing to be the northwestern part of Uganda (West Nile District) and the southern part of Sudan (Equatoria).
The British divide and rule policy, which has worked so perfectly in other parts of the world, has always been a total failure in Lado due to the strong feeling of independence and sovereignty of the state of Lado (Central Africa) where the colonial powers have never managed to subdue the people of Lado.
From his refuge in Denmark, the King says: "Clearly, the old colonial masters are not going to give up easily, but at least theexcavate the diamond, copper and gold mines.
In Lado the Ladoan people and the Lado Defence Forces are still holding a brave stance against massive Ugandan troops, and the SPLM Army (Sudan People Liberal Movement Army) of Col. John Garang, who have been in Lado for months in a vain attempt to quell resistance.
"Hundreds of Ladoans have died in the defence of our country and our freedom to choose the future for our-selves, and thousands more will perish if the foreign troops are not withdrawn", says King Agami, who has sent his third urgent petition to US President Bill Clinton.
"It’s up to the Americans whether they care enough to save the thousands of Africans who become homeless and destitute because of the war of money that the old super


British and Ugandan backed troops who are mercilessly rooting out the remnants of French influence in Central Africa.
What is really happening in Central Africa is a show-down between the US and France who refuse to give in to US supremacy.
France is the only European challenger to the US president Bill Clinton now because according to US diplomatic sources, Russia and president Boris Jeltsin have been defeated and reduced to a toothless bear without its claws.
The French president, Jacques Chirac’s show of nuclear strength in Muroroa was sheer necessity as a signal to the super powers that France is able to defend her status as a grand and proud nation which will not be dictated by Big Brother, Uncle Sam or their multinational relatives in the US and Canada.
Afterall they are just following the blueprint of a secret paper conceived in the 1970’s by former National Security Advisor and US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to cut down the population on the African continent with all possible means in order to get more space to excavate the natural resources and to cultivate the land for agriculture.
In this way the rich soil of Africa would serve as an excellent food reserve for the overgrown gourmet stomachs of the West.
And while the masters of the world are fighting their wars on distant battlegrounds using the willing puppet armies of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, Africa is bleeding to death.
The West looks on through their television screens content to know that the blood is not spilled in their own backyard


and unaware that the African holocaust is on a scale as the WW2 holocaust.
But who cares, as long as the raw materials to secure the high standard of living in the West keeps on flowing...

Statement from :
King John Bart Agami of Lado:
Put Lado back on the Map...

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

Laurent Kabila’s first step after his takeover as the new leader of Zaire was to reestablish the country’s old name Congo, which in its modern shape is now The Democratic Republic of Congo.
"I welcome this move and regard it as a sign that Mr. Kabila is eager to straighten out the tangles in Central Africa created by the former colonial masters", says King Agami from his exile in Copenhagen Denmark.
"Most of the bloodshed, ethnic fighting and particularly the refugeeproblem are caused by the unnatural borders, which the British, the French and the Belgians forced upon us and divided our ancestral African homelands."
Lado is a country at the size of Sweden situated in Central Africa, which has been the victim of the cruel colonial division, and is now hidden under the fringe territories of Uganda, Sudan and Zaire.
"But I want Mr. Kabila and the world to know that Lado and the Ladoan people are very much alive and are fiercely fighting for their freedom and their right to govern in their own country", says King Agami who views the shift of power in the former Zaire as promising for the other countries in the Central African Region.
The Africans are waiting to see if Mr. Kabila lives up


to his promise of creating a new republic where democratic and human rights will be respected, and where the prosperity and vast mineral riches will benefit the population and not only fill the pockets of the power elite and the multinationals.
"The Ladoans want to determine for themselves how to handle Lado’s natural resources, and we are still holding our stance against the multinational companies who are eager to exploit our riches of gold, copper, oil and uranium."
Right now USA, Canada and Britain are backing Ugandan troops who have occupied Lado for several months trying to enforce their rules on the unbendable and proud Ladoans.
"Big business is behind the brutality and suppression against my people", says King Agami.
"They hide behind the Ugandan soldiers waiting for us to submit tothe overmight so they can exploit the minerals which are rightfully ours. They need new mining fields to supply the vast demands of the West, and for money they are ready to wipe us all out.
The almighty Barrick Gold Corp with their head office in Toronto, Canada, and former US president George Bush as chairman, already have their eyes set on our gold reserves in the Ituri and Uele area in the French-speaking part of Lado inside the northeastern part of Zaire.
The deputy chairman of Barrick is a former prime minister, Mr. Brian Martin Mulroney of Canada, the General Director is Peter Punk, and another board member is the former president of the German Bundesbank, Karl-Otto Pohl.
Another multinational giant, US Mineral Fields Company, has already got its hands


on the copper, oil and uranium reserves in the Katanga Province and the diamond mines in the Kasai Province inside Mr. Kabila’s new Democratic Republic of Congo.
Incidentally, US Mineral Fields Company’s head office is located in Little Rock, Arkansas, where the present president, Bill Clinton was governor before he was elected president of the US.
So Mr. Kabila will need more than a lot of good skills to deal with these ruthless fortunehunters who care not whether the African continent starves to death as long as the rich Central African soil can be dug up and plundered.
I welcome Mr. Kabila and have great hopes that he will be a prominent spokesman for the rights of the Ladoan people to determine their own destiny and put Lado back on themap and also hope that he will propose and support a conference in Central Africa to solve all the remaining issues in the region."

Lado breaks out of
the UN Locker...

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

Since 1947 the strategic Nile Congo Watershed country, Lado, in Central Africa has suffered the bitter destiny of having been locked away in an airtight closet. Forgotten by the world community and cancelled from the map with a pencil stroke by the permanent members of the UN Security Council.
All attempts to put Lado back on the map have been blocked by Britain and consequently also by the British allies the powerful US.
But these days the winds of war are changing, so the British and the US have found that they are forced to share their


influence with the other permanent members of the Security Council.
On the way into the twenty-first century, another superpower is emerging on the world arena - China. An economical and mili-tary power which can no longer be ignored by the other superpowers and who will no longer tolerate just looking on from the balcony.
"I have finally succeeded in getting the Lado issue through the UN Secretary General, Mr. Cofi Annan, to the permanent members of the Security Council (US, Britain, France, Russia and China), who have to make the decision of the independence and sovereignty of Lado according to Art. 12 of the UN Charter of 26 June 1945", says King John Bart Agami (the Agofe) of Lado, who has been forced to live in exile and become statelessfor almost forty years.
King Agami has vowed that he will personally lead Lado back to full independence and sovereignty by the end of year 2000, and he is now well on the way.
The British, supported by the US, have shared Lado, or Equatoria, with Belgium, but have never managed to quell the spirit of the Ladoans, who as the only country in Africa have resisted to become a colony.
"As an officer in the King’s African Rifles in Uganda in 1962, I refused to sign a document giving up our soveignty and hand over Lado to the British, and now they are offering Lado to become a member of the British Commonwealth Dominion in turn of independence and a return on the world map.
But what kind of independence is


odds, and in the years thereafter managed to survive in spite of repeated assassination attempts on his life.
"It was a British Labour Government who arranged the assassination of my father in 1948, just as he was preparing to travel to New York to present the Lado issue to the UN General Assembly to regain our sovereignty."
"As I see it, it is up to the British to pay their debts and pave the way for the total and unconditional independence and sovereignty of Lado.
We will not be satisfied with anything less, and we will never sell our souls to slavery and surrender our sovereignty, though they have been successful in eliminating two members of our royal family, my father and my grandfather in 1887, and making myself a statelessperson up till now.
But neither the British, the US or the multinationals will ever conquer Lado or the Ladoan people.
We refuse to be stuck away any longer in the world international locker and they will never again get the chance to throw away the key to the locker of independence and sovereignty of Lado...".

A new Lebanon
in Africa...

By Press Officer
Britt Bartenbach

Bombing and shelling is a recurrent daily event for the citizens of the small central African enclave of Lado.
The people of Lado have inadvertantly become the victims of the same fate which hit the Lebanese people when other nation’s rebel groups launched their attacks from bases inside their borders.
Lado has the advantage, or sometimes disadvantage, of being right in the heart of Africa where its strategic position


at the Nile bed makes it an ideal control point for the entire African continent and also for the control of the Middle East due to Egypt's traditional dependence on the Nile waters.
Rebels from neighbouring Sudan, Uganda and the Congo (formerly Zaire) have built their bases inside Lado, which means that troops from these countries pursue the rebels on Lado territory, make daily air attacks on towns, villages and refugee camps and kill innocent civilians.
The exiled King of Lado, Mr. John Bart Agami, or the Agofe as his people affectionately call him, says from his refuge in Copenhagen:
„The situation in Lado is desperate, and we are spea-king for deaf ears. Each day hundreds of people die in silence, either from starvation because of displacement, nightly shellings or regularbattles in which they get caught up.
There are now more than three million displaced or stateless Ladoans who are either sitting ducks in re-fugee camps in their own country or have to live in exile in other countries like myself and my family."
The King has worked fervently to get the US State Office to spearhead a political conference in Central Africa in order to solve not only the desperate situation of Lado, but to find a solution which will bring stability to the region.
However, the main obstacle for an end to the fighting lies in the UN Security Council where Britain and the US have been blocking the issue of the independence of Lado for fifty years.
Britain as a former imperial power will not let go of Lado,


which they share with Belgium, though neither of them have ever managed to subdue Lado into a colony in spite of the fact that they have put a lid on the existence of Lado because of the eradications of Lado's borders and the inclusion of Lado into Uganda, Sudan and Zaire. The US have vital econo-mic and military interests in the region, which they will not jeopardize for the sake of peace or African human rights.
„There are too many interests at stake in Lado for the US and the EEC partners to care about human rights for a few million Africans whose lives are not considered half as va-luable as European or American lives anyway“, remarks the King dryly.
The plan is to lease concessions to the multinationals and- the Land without a Face -
will not be England's Pinnochio...

By Press Officer

The small Central African country, Lado, at the same size as the Scandinavian country Sweden, and a population of 7 million, is one of the few countries in the African continent which can truly pride itself by being all its own master.
All Lado needs is the official stamp from the world's superpowers to be recognized as a sovereign state and get its name back on the map.
Lado has suffered the grim fate of having to fight against foreign aggressors for three hundred years. So far the Ladoans have managed to keep their enemies at bay, but they have paid a heavy price for their refusal to be subdued as a British/Belgian protectorate and before that


as a part of the mighty Turkish Ottoman Empire - who incidentally governed via the British governor Colonel Samuel White Baker installed 1871.
Only three years later in 1874, another British governor was brought in, Col. Charles Gordon ("Chinese"), who had just as little success, and the next in the line was the US governor, Col. Henry Prout, who only lasted two years (1876-78) until the German Prussian Edward Karl Schnitzer tried with a bit more luck from 1879 to 1889.
Gov. Schnitzer became a Moslem and took the name "Emin Pasha" in the predominantly catholic Lado where the Jesuit priests and later the Franciscan fathers, followed by the Verona fathers, set up mission schools on the direct order of the Pope.
Whilst Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Egypt inthe previous century were busy slicing up the African continent like a piece of cake and divided the territories between them, the countries around Lado, which the Turks gave the name Equatoria, became imaginary countries whose inhabitants bled from the artificial borders. Thus Lado became the socalled "Lado Enclave" and ceased to exist from the official map.
But in fact Lado is intact and functioning with its own infrastructure and its own government in exile which is ready to operate openly and freely inside Lado once the country is recognized by the UN.
The King of Lado, John Bart Agami, has dedicated his life to the freedom of the country of his ancestors, and lately he has been doing a lot of footwork and travelling many miles to get support


for the Lado issue and force Britain and the US to let go of the lease of Lado. And the mileage finally seems to be paying off.
"The entire former Eastern Block will vote in the UN General Assembly for Lado's right to live as an official state, that means Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, the Baltic states, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
And in Western Europe the Germans are the first to be sympathetic to our cause", says the King.
Perhaps the former communist states have realized what has escaped the British and the Americans, that a free and independent Lado right in the center of Africa will have enormous value as a neutral power point from which their relations to the vast African continent can easily be coordinated.
"Oursituation at the Nile River bed in the Upper Nile Valley with Lake Albert is ideal", says King Agami, "and with the Rift Valley containing most of the Great Lakes region of Africa, our waterways go all the 3000 miles to Egypt.
So, whichever way you put it, Lado offers excellent opportunities for the rest of the world to develop ties to the rest of Africa, be it trade, cultural or diplomatic relations."
Indeed, the Lado enclave surrounded by Uganda, Sudan, Congo, Congo/Brazzaville, the Central African Republic and Tchad can function as a perfect transport point, be it by sea, by rail or by air.
As a neutral base in Africa without the interference of the former colonial powers or multinational interests, an independent Lado may act as a diplomatic crossroads


to the eastern part of Africa which is British/German speaking, and the western part which is French/Belgian dominated.
"Lado will be a stabilizing factor in Africa, and with our language resources (Ladoans speak English, German, French and Arabic) we will be able to help solve the socalled "ethnic fighting" in our neighbouring countries, but of course we realize that some countries and businesses have vested interests in continuing the bloodshed ", says the King, referring to among others the massacres in Rwanda and Burundi.
"Ethnic fighting is just an excuse for military operations masterminded by the French, the British and the Americans who let the Africans bleed for their continued division of Africa.
The real cause of Africa's poverty and endless wars is that the colonizers created a lot of imaginarystates, which consisted of different peoples and different kingdoms, and we will not see an end to the bloodshed in Africa until the natural borders have been put back on the map, just like in the case of Lado.
Examples of such "imaginary" countries are Nigeria and Kenya, which are just a collection of many different tribes who have no feelings of patriotism, which make them excellent "divide and rule" victims for the British who rule puppet states in eastern Africa mainly from their two island strongholds Zanzibar and Penba which are the backbone of British colonization."
But the base for the partition of Africa was Uganda (also called Buganda), which is another British stronghold and originally consisted of four kingdoms - the Unyoro Kingdom, the Toro Kingdom, the Ankole
