way of the world (2): Black Africa and the sleeping pill

Ali, you see, the people we regret!

Under public pressure the "pharaoh" Hosni Mubarak ( left in the photo, with another fugitiif, Tunisia's Ben Ali ) has finally resigned from the presidency just the day j 'inaugurated on this blog my series of columns entitled So goes the world. A very good news for democracy in Africa. It remains several questions come to mind on the presence and continuity of the dictatorships in black Africa. Tunisia and Egypt show us that people are not condemned to accept the silence, humiliation and lack of expression. These North African countries show us that it is mostly useless to be in possession of heavy artillery to turn a dictator in a poor paper tiger. Until dictatorships were considered inevitable and, in respect of the life expectancy of monarchs often very high, the people submitted themselves, on God's decision to end the days of the dictator. But this one, before dying, has had ample time to prepare one of his relatives, usually his son ... It is time to say loud and clear that Africa deserves a true black sweep policy, a large dry cleaning. Africa is not intended to remain a conglomerate of banana lands. Not aware of this situation is to be complicit in the disintegration of the black continent. It was unthinkable to see some heads of state from sub-Saharan Africa remain several decades in power through terror, falsification of election results, even with acquaintances with former colonial powers.

Me, me, me and me

Black Africa is so timid and without momentum heroic point let the wind that blows from the north of the continent? Anyway, the victories won by Tunisia and Egypt are in the light of day the static nature of this black Africa, which most often tends to swallow without flinching for decades that the powerful sleeping pill Monarch serves. That's what sleeping pill that Tunisians and Egyptians no longer wanted to swallow and is distributed everywhere in Zimbabwe, Congo - Brazzaville, Angola, Cameroon etc.. - Sometimes with a little syrup as in Senegal where the octogenarian president is to remain on his throne, or to place her offspring. So goes the world and us.
