What is wrong with African leaders?Why are they such evil, babbaric, greedy and selfish people?I mean how can a man (Blaise Compaore)serve as a president for 27 years yet want more time in power?This thing is really a disease,there is no other
way to explain it.
way to explain it.
Well protesters in Burkina Faso showed today that when the people are pushed to the wall,they will have no choice but to push back as anti-government protesters in Burkina Faso today set their National parliament ablaze following a decision by members of parliament to review the country's constitution to allow President Blaise Compaore extend his 27-year rule. The parliament members were due to vote on a change on their constitution which would allow the sitting president, Blaise Compaore - who took power in a coup in 1987 - to stand for re-election again next year, when he was due to stand down.
The angry protesters who did not buy into the proposed constitution review stormed the National Assembly building in the capital Ouagadougou, ransacking offices and setting fire to cars, before attacking the national television headquarters. At least one person died in the mayhem.
One of the protesters said;
The violence forced the government to temporarily scrap a vote on the constitutional amendments.Relative calm has since returned to the capital city."We did this because Blaise was trying to stay too long. We are tired of him. We want a change. He must go!”
I strongly believe leaders like these should be jailed for life! And all the members of his cabinet.They are all obviously a corrupt bunch,that was why they were ready to pass a law to get Compaore to contest again.They are obviously being kept happy,and we all know it's not by the sermon Blaise Compaore preaches!
