Frm d desk of d Bishop: D African continent has become a theatre of jokers n caricatures masquerading themselves as leaders. Blaise Campoare foisted himself on d ppl of Burkina Faso after toppling Thomas Sankara in a coup. Sankara was killed. 27yrs in power he was still not satisfied. He had wanted to change d constitution to perpetuate his rule. He is now in La Cotevoire as an asylee. After Konan Bedie came d history prof who seemed to hv forgotten his lessons-cald Laurent Gbagbo, after loosing an election he refused to concede defeat. He is now cooling off at d Hague awaitn an ICC trial.Pres. Alhassan Dramani Ouattara is doing quite well.Laurent Kabila in a popular uprising overthrew Gen Mobutu Sese Seko. He was later assassinated by his own body guard.His son Joseph Kabila became d leader. After being in power 4 so long he too wants 2 change d constitution to stay in power indefinitely in d DR Congo. Omar Bongo after staying in power 4 so many yrs passed away n his son Ali Bongo is now in power in Gabon. Gnassimbe Eyadema of Togo died n his son Faure Eyadema is in charge. Isaiah Afawerki gained independence frm Ethiopia 4 Eritrea . He has since driven d ppl in droves into exile cos of his inimical n draconian Stalinist- Marxist policies. Yahya Jammeh has silenced all forms of oppossition in d Gambia. Milton Obote was toppled by d dreaded Dada Idi Amin. By d help of Pres. Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, he too fell. Eventually Yowerri Museveni started his bush war n came to power. He has done well but his movement system does not allow room 4 opposition . His own medical doctor Dr Besigye stood up against his dictatorial regime.Paul Kagame of Rwanda is trying but opposition is stifled. Burundi too wants to change d constitution. Bozize of C.A.R fled into exile after downgrading d country into under-developed status.Paul Biya of Cameroon wants to b president 4 life. What abt my gud friend Mugabe of Zimbabwe? Bouteflika of Algeria is in a wheel chair after suffering frm stroke n he is still pres. African leaders ar able to perpuate themselves in power due to unscrupulous Electorial Commissioners. They used such E.Cs backed by unprofessional security services esp.d military to rig elections.U will notice dat they ar unpopular yet they win elections. What an irony.What ar they afraid of? They dont want their successors to come n c d damage n mismanagement- thru cronisym, nepotism n tribalism. God save us frm these so called leaders. God save Africa. I wish u well. Shalom
