    The Coronavirus pandemic has forced African despots to stay in their countries. They were prevented from seeking medical treatment abroad and were forced to face their countries' precarious health system
    Many African dictators routinely traveled abroad to seek expensive medical treatment, such as Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, who died in Singapore last year at the age of 95. José Eduardo dos Santos, former president of Angola, also used to travel to Barcelona, Spain

    Perhaps this is why these men are over 80 and 90 years old, in stark contrast to the common populations of their countries whose life expectancy in some countries like Sierra Leone reaches only 37 years.

    The former Malaysian prime minister who served twice: between 1981 and 2003 and then between 2018 and 2020. Tomorrow he will be 95 years old, and in two days his wife Siti Hasmah will be 94. I think it would be time for both of them to debut the 2021 DeathList (if they are alive by then)

    Another African ruler dies.

     

     

    The former president of Algeria, Abdelmalek Benhabyles (born April 27, 1921), died yesterday at the age of 97. Benhabyles, who had been interim president - for 3 days from January 11 to 14, 1992 - was an activist of the national movement, member of the Movement for the triumph of democratic freedoms (MTLD) and head of external affairs of the GPRA. After independence (1962), the deceased held several positions of responsibility. He was Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1963 to 1964, Ambassador of Algeria to Japan from 1964 to 1971 and Minister of Justice in 1977.

    Former President of Nigeria, Shehu Shagari, is dead. It was your grandson who broke the news.

     

    Born on February 25, 1925, in Sokoto, Shagari played an important role in the political life of the country since he was an English colony. intensifying when his country became independent in 1960. After the end of the first military regime inaugurated after a coup in 1966, Shagari became president in 1979 with the promise of restoring Nigeria's economy.

    It did not last long, until in 1983 he was overthrown by the military, who established another dictatorship  which would last until 2000. Banned from the political life of the country for 35 years, he was limited to giving certain opinions but almost always very modest.

     

    He died at age 93 at the National Hospital in Abuja at 1:30 p.m. while battling a disease.

    I learned that Joe Jackson (Michael's father) died at age 89 of pancreatic cancer yesterday. It is true that he spent much of these 89 years exploring his children, especially Michael, but I still leave my condolences for the death of this gentleman. May the devil always be with him.

    A short list in a period whick definitely lacks of big deaths. Only born before 1940 are in.

     

    *Robert Mugabe (1924), the perennial dictator of Zimbabwe, rumoured to be in poor health mainly because of unconfirmed prostate cancer.

    *Girma Wolde-Giorgis (1924), former president of Ethiopia. Not ill, but fat as hell. Could have a bad stroke some day.

    *Shehu Shagari (1925), former president of Nigeria

    *Olusegun Obasanjo (1937) former president of Nigeria

    *Dawda Jawara (1924), the father of Gambia in exile. Again not ill, only old.

    *Kenneth Kaunda (1924) father of Zambia. Hospitalized for fever in 2014.

    *Daniel arap Moi (1924), former Kenyan president. Again, no notable health issues.

    *Mwai Kibaki (1931) former president of Kenya

    *Quett Masire (1925) former Botswana president

    *Abdoulaye Wade (1926) the perennial politician of Senegal. Still very active.

    *Abdou Diouf (1935) former president of Senegal.

    *Hosni Mubarak (1928) We all know him.

    *Pascal Lissouba (1931) former president of Congo

    *Paul Biya (1933) president of Cameroon

    *Pedro Pires (1934) former president of Cape Verde

    *Yakubu Gowon (1934) Nigerian president

    *Nicephore Soglo (1935) former Benin president

    *Menghistu (1937) Ethiopian dictator, now exiled chez Mugabe in Zimbabwe

    *Abdelaziz Bouteflika (1937) former DL pick.

    *Béji Caïd Essebsi (1926), Tunisian president. Weird looking to be an African. He is said to have Italian origins.

    *Zine Ben Ali (1936) Tunisian president overthrown.

    *Fouad Mebazaa (1933) Tunisian president

    *Didier Ratsiraka (1936) former president of Madagascar

    *Albert Zafy (1927) former president of Madagascar

    *Norbert Ratsirahonana (1938) former president of Madagascar

    *John Kufuor (1938) former president of Ghana

    *Alpha Condé (1938) president of Guinea

    *Moussa Traoré (1936) fomer presidet of Mali

    *Hoaquim Chissano (1939) former president of Mozambique

    *Sam Nujoma (1929) former president of Namibia

    *Hifikepunye Pohamba (1935) former president of Namibia

    *Henri Konan Bédié (1934) former president of Ivory Coast

    *Ellen Sirleaf (1938) president of Liberia

    *Ruth Perry (1939) interim president of Liberia

     

    Although Africa still suffers from several despots today, some people on this list do not really fit that qualification. For example, KK of Zambia and Dawda Jawara of The Gambia were never dictators, neither Béji Caïd Essebsi of Tunisia nor Sam Nujoma of Namibia. Not to mention the case of Daniel Arap Moi from Kenya, but it is a case in point because although he was not a despot like Idi Amin and Francisco Macias, he sometimes had a hard time with some sectors of society.

    I mean if you’re going to be comparing our Queen Liz with Mugabe then I’m afraid you can get in the bin mate.

     

    I did not compare anything with anyone, I just mentioned another world leader.

    Less than a week ago on british television in a documentary the Queen said whilst discussing tree planting and climate change that by the time these trees come into full bloom and start to have a positive influence she will not be here she will be gone . Not that I thought or believed for a minute that before she said this that the Queen might have entertained the idea she was physically immortal! Your post is based on some very strange assumptions and thinking to say the least!:D

     

    It is that these leaders of the global elite live so much that sometimes it gives the impression that they will never die.
