DICTATORSHIP AND MILITARY COUPS IN AFRICA-THE CASE OF NIGER REPUBLIC.

19. Febrero 2010 por synachy 1.

 YESTERDAY AT ABOUT 12 NOON, SOUNDS OF GUNSHOTS WAS HEARD IN NIAMEY(NIGER REPUBLIC).A FORMER FRENCH COLONY, RICH IN URANIUM, BUT ONE OF THE WORLD´S POOREST COUNTRIES.THE MILITARY WAS TRYING TO WRESTLE POWER FROM THE IDIOT THAT HAD HELD SWAY IN THE COUNTRY FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. ANOTHER AVOIDABLE MILITARY COUP. THE COUNTRY´S CONSTITUTIONS SUSPENDED AND LIVES AND PROPERTIES DESTROYED, BUT MOST OF ALL THE COUNTRY IS SENT 20 YEARS BACK AND LEFT POORER.

I MUST POINT OUT HERE THAT THE MAIN CAUSE OF THIS COUP LIKE MOST OTHERS IN AFRICA IS THE ATTEMPT OF A FEW TO BECOME gOD TO THIER PEOPLE.PRESIDENT MAMADOU TANDJA WAS TRYING TO DEIFY HIMSELF AND IN SO DOING PERPETUATE HIMSELF IN POWER.THERE MUST BE A SICKNESS INHERENT IN AFRICA THAT MAKE ALL AFRICAN RULER PERPETUATE THEMSELVES ETERNALY.

 TANDJA SACKED THE PARLIAMENT, MODIFIED THE CONSTITUTION TO MEET HIS NEED TO STAY IN POWER.HE SACKED THE JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT, AND ENLONGATED HIS SECOND 5 YEAR TERM BY 3 MORE YEARS WITHOUT ELECTIONS.

THE ATTEMPT BY REGIONAL LEADERS IN WEST AFRICA TO BROKER A POLITICAL SOLUTION HAS BEEN BRICK WALLED BY THE SAME FOOL.THE SANCTION BY THE ECONOMIC COMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS) AND THE UNITED STATES WAS NOT ENOUGH TO BEND HIM.FRANCE AND CHINA AS USUAL, IN PROCTECTING THEIR ECONOMIC INTEREST CONTINUED BUSSINESS AS USUAL WITH SOME OTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

 IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT SUCH INDIVIDUALS ARE ALLOWED FREE MOVEMENT IN EUROPE WHILE THIER POPULACE WALLOW IN ABJECT POVERTY.HE IS NOT ALONE.INAFRICA THE CASE ABOUND OF INDIVIDUALS WHO BECOME GREATER THAN THE STATE. IN NIGERIA THE FORMER HEAD OF STATE, OLUSEGUN OBASANJO WANTED TO ENLONGATE HIS STAY  BUT FOR THE VALIENT OPOSITION OF NIGERIANS.HIS WIFE STELA DIED IN SPAIN DOING PLASTIC SURGERY. THE CURRENT HEAD OF STATE MUSA YARÁDUA WHO HAS BEEN VERY SICK AND OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR OVER 87 DAYS DOES NOT WANT HANDOVER POWER TO HIS DEPUTY TO THE POINT THAT ALL MACHINERY OF GOVT WAS GROUNDED TO A VIRTUAL HALT.HIS WIFE TURAI, GOVERNS THE COUNTRY THROUGH A KITCHEN CABINET OF SYCOPHANTS.

THE CASE OF ROBERTO MUGABE,OMAR BONGO WHO DIED IN A SPANISH HOSPITAL(HIS SON IS NOW PRESIDENT),GADAFI OF LIBYA AND THE THUG IN GUINEA EQUITORIAL, ARE JUST A FEW.EUROPE DO NOT MEASURE THESE CASES ON THE SAME SCALE.WHERE THIER INTEREST IS PROTECTED THEY TURN A BLIND EYE AND WHERE THIER INTEREST IS BREACHED. THEY IMPOSE SANCTIONS ON THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA WHO FOR NO FAULT OF THEIRS BECOME SLAVES TO OTHER FEW AFRICANS. EUROPE OPENS ITS DOORS TO THESE BUNCH OF CORRUPT THUGS, ROLL OUT RED CARPETS TO RECIEVE THEM AND TREAT THEM, WHILE THEY CLAMP THE FEW ORDINARY AFRICANS THAT BRAVE IT OUT OF AFRICA IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION CAMPS, WITH NO HUMAN RIGHTS RESPECT.

 THE LIKES OF BERLUSCONI INSULT DAILY ,AFRICAN IMMIGANTS AS CRIMINALS, AS IF THEY FOUNDED THE ITALIAN MAFIA.HE IS READY TO BE FRIENDS TO GADAFI, EVEN WHEN THE EUROPEAN UNION HAS BLACKLISTED HIM ON ITS TRAVEL LIST.I WONDER WHO THE REAL CRIMINAL IS.THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SHOULD BETTER EXCOMMUNICATE HIM FOR HIS XENOPHOBIA UTTERANCES.

 IT IS TIME EUROPEANS TAKE A GOOD LOOK INTO THE INTERNATIONAL POLITICS OF THEIR GOVTS AS IT RELATES TO AFRICA.THE PROBLEM IN AFRICA IS NOT JUST THE GROUP OF THUGS THAT BADLY LORD IT OVER US, BUT ALSO EUROPEAN GOVTS LIKE THAT OF FRANCE , ITALY AND GREAT BRITAIN THAT THROW STANDARDS TO THE DUSTBIN JUST TO PICK A LITTLE OF THE CAKE FROM SUCH CORRUPT DICTATORS.

DICTATORSHIP, JUST LIKE COUP DETATS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED AND SUPPORTED ANYWHERE. NOT IN AFRICA AND NOT IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD. THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR DEALING WITH ANY ATTEMPT BY AN INDIVIDUAL TO PERPETUATE HIMSELF IN POWER SHOULD BE THE SAME IN AFRICA LIKE IT IS IN ANY OTHER PART OF THE WORLD.COUP DETATS LIKE THE ONE IN NIGER IS NOT A RECOMMENDED POLITICAL SOLUTION, BUT IN THE EVENT THAT THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY LOOKS THE OTHER WAY WHILE A POEPLE SUFFER, DRASTIC ACTION IS NEEDED TO BRING STABILTY.

 I DO NOT ASCRIBE TO MILITARY COUPS OR VIOLENCE IN ANY FORM.I WILL HOWEVER ADVICE THE YOUNG LADS THAT REMOVED TANDJA TO MAKE HISTORY FOR THEMSELVES.THEY SHOULD CONDUCT ELECTIONS IN 2 MONTHS FROM TODAY.RE ACTIVATE THE OLD CONSTITUTION AND GET BACK TO THE BARRACKS.THEY SHOULD ALSO SEND PACKING FROM THIER COUNTRY ALL THE COMPANIES AND GOVTS THAT HAVE SILENTLY OR OPENLY SUPPORTED THE USURPATION OF THIER CONSTITUTION.THIS WAY THIER CHILDREN WILL REMEMBER THEM AS THE FATHERS OF MODERN DEMOCRATIC NIGER.
