No doubt that what is unfolding in Libya has left many shocked. Nobody would risk thinking that Libyan strong man Muamar Gadaffi would easily been cowered as it happened. Two days after disgruntled Libyans took to the street, Gadaffi was nowhere to be seen or heard. Who would believe that Gadaffi who has been everywhere [...]

What transpired in Tunisia recently, sadly though, unearthed a great rot in upper echelons of power in Africa. The strength in this, albeit, is the fact that this domino effect did affect Egypt and Yemen where every eye is on to see what will happen. And thereof, maybe, many casualties will follow. After Zine al-Abidine Ben [...]

What transpired in Tanzania on 5th January tells it all. The “Peace-and-tranquillity” mantra that rulers have always sold is no more. It was reported that three people were killed by police when they were quashing a peaceful demonstration orchestrated by Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA) in the northern city of Arusha. Many other people [...]
“African honchos lapse the year 2010 in styles” by Nkwazi Mhango

African rulers are like magicians when it comes to surprises even wonders. My apologies for using the word “rulers” in lieu of leaders. My my belief is, Africa is currently ruled and ruined by rulers, not led by leaders as we dreamed at the time we acquired our political independence. If one asks me the [...]

The world media is currently awash with sensitive, sensationalized and classified information. Many ‘unknowns’ are now known. Politicians, especially from ‘civilized and developed world’ and those from ‘wicked and doomed world’, have though in different taste and manner, their dirty linens in the agora where every eye can see and tongues wag. Many, especially, from [...]

Many things have been said and written about Gambian strong man Yahya Abdul-Azziz Jemus Junkung Diliu Jammeh. He was listed among the horrid and stinking dictators Africa has ever had. He’s renown for his iron fist when it comes to manning a tiny west African country. So too, he likes honours, braggadocios and titles even [...]

Though Tanzania has always wrongly been regarded as a strong and peaceful country in the region, this does no longer hold water thanks to what transpired in the just ended elections. Recent sham and rigged general elections opened everything bare as it told the whole hidden story behind this former doyen of peace and tranquility in [...]
