African Leaders and POWER

Power is the possession of control or command over others, and that is the exact act that various leaders have committed in all part of Africa.
The black continent has suffered various degree of bloodshed in recent and past, and all could be attributed to power share.
It is either our leaders do not want to vacate the post or they do not want the opposition to get there.
Mugabe of Zimbabwe is the most recent actor in this film of power, he is refusing to let go the leadership role he has abused for over 2 decades, despite been defeated in the March 29 election.
Kenya is still very much fresh in our memory, based on Kibaki refusal to accept defeat, innocent blood has been shed and people have to run from there homes to avoid being slaughtered.
In 2004, an umbrella group of opposition under the name Kifaya (which means Enough) emerged in Egypt to clamour for political change after 24 years of Hosni Mubarak., President Mubarak has had four six-year terms since assuming office.
In Burkina Faso , President Blaise Compaore ran again and won the November 13, 2005 poll. Compaore, a former army captain like Mubarak, seized power in a bloody coup in 1987. Trading his military fatigues for civilian dress, he went on to win two landslide elections in 1991 and 1998, never mind that the elections were boycotted by the main opposition parties, which complained that the electoral system was opaque and unfair.
In Togo, President Gnassingbe Eyadema died in office and his son smartly took over the mantle of leadership.
Also, in February 2006, Yoweri Museveni of Ugandareturned to power in a general election.
Paul Biya has ruled Cameroon since Novenber 1982, in Senegal Abdou Diouf served from 1981 – 2000 before handling over to Abdoulaye Wade.
Gadafi of Libya is the fourth longest-serving head of state currently in office and longest-serving head of government.
El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba of Gabon became President of Gabon in 1967. He was just 31 and the world's youngest president at the time. And 41 years after he still is the president.
Mathieu Kérékou of Benin Republic ruled the country for 17 years before stepping down
Our own Olusegun obasanjo planned and wanted to go for a third term but but Nigerians were able to get rid of him without any bloodshed.
It is glaring from the above that what African leaders do to remain in office is to amend the constitution to suit their evil desire to stay longer in power, they are certain of cheap victory because anybody that challenges them are either thrown into the gallows or sent to the grave.
Constitutional amendments, which extend the life of the incumbent, seems to be an agreed style among African Union member states, as no member nation has ever criticised one another for it.
It is high time Africans stand and liberates themselves from these wicked, demonic leaders.
We have to stand up for our right (because nobody will).
God bless Africa.
