Yes, the election of Barack Obama as the first Black President of the USA will be recorded as a historic occasion. There are far too many dimensions on which to evaluate this victory, to try to do justice to it in this space. I will just say that the earth moved - or maybe it was just the piece I was standing on.
The world agreed in a symbolic vote with Americans, and for this reason I am hopeful that today will mark the beginning of a global paradigm shift in political leadership that pushes beyond the borders of America...
Barack Obama is an icon of opportunity and inspirational leadership for our generation, and I wish him all the success and fulfilment in his Presidency.
