BTW, Kevin Roster will die today.

Ahah, now you're right!

North Africa in general has lot to offer in matter of old politicians. Tunisia: *Rachid Sfar (1933), former PM. *Zine El Abidine Ben Ali (1936), president and PM, now exiled, but in good health despite rumours. If for "good health" you mean "terminal prostate cancer" *Hédi Baccouche (1930), former PM who is now a writer. *Hamed Karoui (1927), rumoured to be dead last year, he actually lost his brother a month later circa. His nephew will run for president. *Fouad Mebazaa (1933), President before Essebsi, he condoled his death today. *Habib Ben Yahia (1938) Foreign Minister, now jailed for power abuse. *Abdelbaki Hermassi (1937) Foreign Minister *Ahmed Ben Salah (1926): he was born to bring socialism and revolution in Tunisia, but failed. Now president of his own party. Algeria: *Abdelaziz Bouteflika (1937), Ali Bou. Well, you all know the Living Dead and all hope for a state funeral to be held really soon. *Liamine Zeroual (1941), young, but has great health problems and was reported dead different times. *Abdelhamid Brahimi (1936), PM, who is now a writer. *Sid Ahmed Ghozali (1937) Famous for his papillon, was bound to be a presidential candidate last year. *Belaid Abdessalam (1928): a PM who has fought Islamists like no one. *Ali Haroun (1927): member of the High Council of State. Morocco: *Ahmed Laraki (1931), from Laraki family, one-time PM and multiple times Foreign Minister. *Ahmed Osman (1930), PM, brother in law of King Hassan II. *Abderrahmane Youssoufi (1924), the real Moroccan star. Goes in and out of hospital for pneumonia, still made it to 95. Human rights activist. *Abdelouahed Belkeziz (1939), Foreign Minister. *Mohamed Benaissa (1937), quite a celebrity in the Country. Libya: *Mustafa Ben Halim (1921): Last PM of the KIngdom of Lybia and one of those who plotted against Gheddafi. Who tried to have him killed many times, of course. *Abdul Ati al-Obeidi (1939), Foreign Minister, arrested and released in 2011. Egypt: *Hosni Mubarak (1928), the ethernal fucker *Mohamed Hussein Tantawi (1935), deposed Mubarak. *Kamal Ganzouri (1933), former PM. *Hazem El Beblawi (1936) ousted Morsi. *Ahmad Fathi Sorour (1932), Mubarak associate, who was ousted in 2011 as well. *Amr Moussa (1936) Foreign Minister

It may be only an impression, but IMHO Balbir is not doing too well at the moment. His daughter usually answers to every well-wisher on FB, while she didn't answer to any comment on the last post, which contained a 2017 interview of Balbir. The post started with "BALBIRS MAY COME & BALBIRS WILL GO...". Simoni is still in ICU and probably on life support. Weekes seems to be the only one who really recovered, but you never know...

Guardian QO for Jeremy Kemp.

Oh God!

VP Chiwenga is receiving treatment in China, but "recovering".

One of my heroes! Well, he lived a long life. Gene Kranz (1933) is very much alive, by the way...

Yes, at least the Toad is funny.

Now THAT’S the dumbass post of the year!

Anyway, now that this has been confirmed, YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dumbass post of the year. Congrats...

One of the worst fuckers to have ever lived, would win the "Best Riddance" award of 2019. It's not the first time he is rumoured to be dead, so I'll wait for government or Reuters to say something and keep the joy for later.

Tunisia's president Ershad???

Bob Wilson? Someone with a very similar name is not going well at the moment...

Balbir has been discharged today according to his daughter.

Ershad's blood shows no sign of infection , his body is responding to treatment and will be on life support till he recovers.

Survived only 10 months. Don't oversize it.

Update on our friend Ershad, who is going out in full Asian dictator style. Yesterday his brother announced that he was recovering and would be indeterminately kept on life support if needed. Death was not an option yesterday. Today Ershad's condition is deteriorating as he suffers from liver and kidney failure. According to his brother "None of his organs are working", which probably means multiple organ failure. Ershad is also suffering from severe lung infection and myelodysplastic syndrome (or pre-leukemia). Anyway they don't think his life is in danger, as they did not even call a physician from Singapore for advanced treatment. I wonder when his life will be in danger.

Leila Denmark, Alexander Imich, Zhou Youguang, Zoltan Sarosy, Cecilia Seghizzi, Juliana Young Koo, Teresa Hsu, Qin Hanzhang, Shivakumara Swamiji...

He was born on August 8th according to the man himself, so we have to wait a month for celebrations. Plus, he is the third after Yasuhiro Nakasone and Hyun Soong-jong, not the second.

DIE, BASTARD, DIE!

Tinto Brass hospitalized in ICU.

World is so unjust; Ershad, Balbir, Dilip Kumar , Daniel arap Moi, Mugabe, Mubarak, etc. continue to live despite their age and issues and someone has to die at 33.

Balbir gets prize in hospital. He is not bedridden, seems he is recovering once again.
