He was part of an international conspiracy that had hitherto raped the continent of Africa of its huge and abundant human and natural resources, now he has taken one rape too much-He physically in the true meaning of the word without a pun attached raped an African sister. If he is found guilty, all Africans might likely request the judge for a castration of his ‘Long John Silver’. Some would call it- nemesis, to some- Karma, but I call it the Hands of God in the affairs of men.

IMF has never been good to Africa; it forces African Presidents and leaders to remove subsidies, while its Governments bail out everything that is not working well and accordingly. And not to talk of the various mouth watering social security or social welfare, that is none exist in Africa, or alien to Africa but common to the Western world.

According to wire News, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and France Socialist presidential hopeful has been accused of acting as a sexual predator in an ‘attempted’(note the inverted coma) rape of an African female immigrant in a New York City hotel.

On 14 May 2011, police officers removed Strauss-Kahn from an Air France plane at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport moments before takeoff for Paris, and arrested him for allegedly sexually assaulting a hotel maid in his suite at the midtown Sofitel New York Hotel shortly before leaving for the airport. He was held at a police precinct overnight.

According to Reuters, the NYPD anticipates that he is to be charged with "a criminal sexual act, attempted rape, and unlawful imprisonment".The case involves power, privilege, wealth, social status and race. A powerful European, against a female African housekeeper, working to earn a living in New York City. The hotel suite ,where the alleged crime is said to have occurred costs $3,000 per night which is probably more than what the African maid makes in an entire month.

Strauss-Kahn denied all the charges against him and pleaded not guilty.On May 16 Straus-Kahn appeared in court and was charged with attempted rape and assaulting a hotel maid. The defense request for one million dollar bail was rejected by the judge due to concerns of the suspect being a flight risk. Straus-Kahn was remanded in custody until his next court appearance on May 20.
Sofitel Hotel,N.Y.C.
The story would sound almost incredible:that the chief of the IMF would launch such a perverted attack in a New York hotel-- were it not for the fact that this isn't the first time the Frenchman, who was regarded as the leading contender to defeat Nicolas Sarkozy in next year's presidential election, has been accused of a vicious attack against a woman.
Strauss-Kahn is married. Yet according to media accounts, including in The New York Times, his affairs was an "open secret."

Yet, in one case also reported by the newspaper, Strauss-Kahn was accused by a French writer of trying to rape her after she had gone to interview him about a book. The woman, in France, who did not file charges --but now in light of the New York incident says she may-- claimed she fought off Strauss-Kahn from the floor as he tried to take off her jeans and bra.

In 2007, Tristane Banon, a French journalist and writer, accused Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her in 2002, but she did not press charges. In 2008, an independent investigator was appointed following allegations that Strauss-Kahn had had an affair with a subordinate, Piroska Nagy, who was married at the time to economist Mario Blejer.

She was later made redundant and Strauss-Kahn assisted her in getting a new job. Strauss-Kahn issued a public apology for the affair. Le Journal du Dimanche dubbed him "le grand séducteur" (the Great Seducer).

In the New York City incident last Saturday, the Frenchman is reported to have emerged from the bathroom of his hotel room naked and brazenly attacked the African, a maid who had come to clean his room and was unaware anyone else was in the room.

Strauss-Kahn is said to have locked the door of the hotel suite and then dragged the African woman to the bedroom in the alleged crazed attack. The woman reportedly fought off the attack but was then dragged by Strauss-Kahn into the bathroom and forced her to perform oral sex.

The woman reported the attack immediately, which allowed the New York Police to pluck the Frenchman out of a plane which was about to depart for Paris. In his reported haste to flee, Strauss-Kahn is said to have left his cell phone at the scene of the alleged crime.
The police are obtaining DNA evidence from Strauss-Kahn. Things don't look good for the Frenchman, Bwana Strauss-Kahn.

On 10 July 2007, he became the consensus European nominee to be the head of the IMF, with the personal support of President Nicolas Sarkozy. The IMF announced on 15 May 2011 that John Lipsky would act as First Managing Director while Strauss-Kahn was in custody.
