President Omar Bongo Of Gabon Has Died!
President Omar Bongo of Gabon, has died after (43 years, in a One Party State). He was 73 years of age, after a long illness. This man ruled for four decades over people who never knew of any alternative, or had no other choice for another leader to emerge or encouraged.
Because he stiffled and snuffed out all opposition via the election apparatus, everytime an election is allowed to happen.
President Bongo never took a vacation for all of his 43 years in office, for fear that he may lose his position. That is what happens when any dictator takes office illegally.
They have to live in perpetual fear for their life and position. Seventy three percent of his people live in abject poverty, while he enriched himself from the country's coffers with millions illegally.
Ironically, in Africa power is sought through the majority vote. If a tribe is the majority in any state, it is a foregone conclusion that they must be the rulers of that state of government.
The concept of proportional representation does not apply in Africa's politics period!
He was one of Africa's longest serving leaders.
Another strongman bites the dust!
The European Union Experiment!
Europeans like Americans in so many ways, are voting according to their individual state. They seem not to comprehend the collective politics that the EU encompasses.
So that is the reason why the turnout is so poor, and certain countries seem not to care!
Hezbullah May Win More Seats In Lebanon's Parliament!
The US and others call HEZBULLAH terrorists.
But the Armenians will be voting for them in the elections currently, EN-MASS in Lebanon!
This voting block of Christians are swing voters.
Go figure!
