An article by Ahmed M Kamara expressing his views on what Robert Mugabe has done for Zimbabwe, painting a picture of the negative effects of his leadership, and criticising the 'dictator(?)' as he turns 86.
yea i totally agree with the author. mugabe has done a lot of damage to the nation, he needs to be brought to justice before it is too late,you can't just understand the mentality of these african dictators,yea let's put it this way they all have a mental problem and they need intensive therapy before it is too late . it's awful to have zimbabwe become as it has become, it's awful to see so many dictators in africa who have messed up. something really effective needs to be done now but i think it is really up to africans to make a change. afica's future is in the hands of africans.honestly mugabe needs to pay for all damage he has caused in the country. hope that all african dictators will be ousted one day. Go to hell mugabe!
Mugabe is a prime example of the type of dictatpr we think of when the word is said. This is not always the case (actually) just in extreme cases that a dictatorship will have completely have no regard for opposition or the will of the people. It's so sad that cases like this make dictatorships all over the world have a bad name, when in actual fact I believe some of them could work under the corrct leadership.
I mean in the sense that most people put in a position of such power cannot handle it and abuse the power for their own gain and become "big-headed", but there must be some people out there who would be able to reframe from this, and be able to do what s right for the country and its people over what gives the leader the most benefits. I think the idea of dictatorships could work and be a more efficient and cost effective way of running a country in unison, but unfortunately most human beings cannot handle that amount of power without abusing it and eventually just thinking of their own well-being and happiness.

ReplyDeleteAgreed, and its even MORE concerning if that 'Hitler' moustache is intentional...

What would the correct leadership look like, SamG?
