First it was Tunisia, then Egypt and now who will be the next dictator to run for his dear life?
As I write now, there are rumours that Libya's leader Gaddafi has fled his country even though unsubstantiated, I will not be surprised if he has. How long did these dictators think their one man rule would continue? I say "More power to the people!"
When will African leaders learn that the position they hold is only temporary and not a life time career? When will they see the proverbial writing on the wall? How long do they think the people of Africa will continue to stand and watch their resources including oil, gold and other minerals end up in the bulging pockets of these greedy leaders?
Did you hear about what is happening in Uganda now? Just like Gbagbo of Cote D'IVoire,he is claiming victory after a sham election whose outcome had already been determined by these despots and their cronies. Gbagbo has refused to leave the position he is holding onto as if it is his birth right despite the cry of 'foul' to the outcome of the recent elections. Musevini of Uganda has been there for ages despite major opposition to his rule. What are these leaders waiting for? Are they waiting for the blood of their own people to flow before they relinguish power from their evil grasping hands? How about Mugabe of Zimbabwe under whose rule inflation has outpaced every document in the financial world?
If these leaders would learn from history what their predecessors like Mobutu of the then Zaire and Nkrumah of Ghana learnt the hard way that dictatorships are only temporary and that no matter how long it takes, when the people rise, dictatorships topple!
People, Africans, let us rise to this challenge and show our leaders that they stay in power only at our own convenience and that whenever we declare that we've had enough of their bumbling rule, they better sit up and listen!!!
Power to the People!!!
