On 30thDecember 2006, the world witnessed humiliating hanging of Saddam Hussein, former Iraq’s tyrant, after being arrested bolted in a spider hole. Many thought other dictators would make a note of the sudden and unceremoniously demise and downfall of Saddam. Go figure. They didn’t because of arrogance and faint memories. In essence, dictators are like [...]

Why is AU doing Bashir’s dirty laundry?

This is none than African Union (AU) Chief Jean Ping. This gentleman originates from Gabon, the country that suffered a great deal more thanks to be manned and ruined by one dictator, that was succeeded by his son after his death. Thus, he’s suffering from this experience of being timid and an instrument of the dictatorship. [...]

At just ended AU conference in Addis Ababa, the out-going chair, Libyan strong man Col. Muamar Gadaffi left people in stitches. He first wanted his term extended so that he’d serve two terms. This prayer was turned down by south African countries. After being booted out, he’s quoted as saying had he known how inferior and [...]
Will junta rid Africa of tyranny or resurge? by Nkwazi Mhango

I abhor undemocratic means of ascending to power. When Capt. Mousa Dadis Camara survived an attempt on his life by his aide Boubakar Diakite, many thought it was just an isolated incident and a passing cloud. To the contrary, thinkers had a different take of this. Is this the beginning of a new era whereby [...]
“AU: Sudan powder keg!” by Nkwazi Mhango

In an interview with French broadcaster RFI recently, AU commission chairman Jean Ping was quoted as thus: “We have a feeling that we are sitting on a powder keg.” It is true. But who’s to blame in the first place? AU has always sits on many powder kegs such as, Madagascar, Western Sahara Somalia, Sudan [...]

Mwl. Julius Nyerere, the founder of Tanzania once said: “Africa won’t be totally and truly independent until all African countries and Africans are free.” His vision of freedom was not confined within boundaries and flags but the whole mankind. He leapfrogged almost all thinkers as far as independence is concerned. To him freedom was a [...]
“When AU blessed and honoured a terrorist” by Nkwazi N. Mhango

The report that Ali al-Megrahi, the alleged Lockerbie bomber (released recently on the grounds of poor health), received ovation from African Members of Parliament in Libya is disgusting and shameful. The 57-year-old was serving a life sentence in Greenock prison for the 1988 bombing of PanAm flight 103 over Lockerbie, which killed 270 people. The [...]
“AU stance on Bashir is blow to Africa not ICC” by Nkawzi N. Mhango

Recent reports that African rulers congregating in Sirte, Libya vowed to stand by Sudanese dictator, Omar Bashir, are disgusting and appalling. If anything, this means African rulers have once again proved to be hypocrites and indifferent altogether as far as human rights are concerned. One thing left me in stitches. Sadly, Rwandan strongman, Paul Kagame who [...]
