African Leaders - Despots and Democratic

Laurent Gbagbo, not too thrilled at having to surrender. But, given the presence of UN troops in the area, it's probably done a lot for his ability to keep breathing.

He does face the prospect of doing that in Scheveningen.

President Bingu Wa Mutharika of Malawi, mentioned several times before on this thread, has been forced to deny rumours that he is dead. He is currently "on holiday" in Hong Kong.

 

There are some brilliant comments in that article. It's odd to see the English language used in conjunction with something completely different. For example:

 

Talking on the phone does not meen he is not in intensive care! A Malawi kupusa bwanji, lets take back our country, kodi where is the army, kupusa ndi chifukwa chake akuba amapita ku barracks kukaba ngombe chifukwa kuli zitsilu zokha zokha

Oh, and a special mention for the young and healthy Dr Yahya AJJ Jammeh of The Gambia, who recently announced that he would personally be curing AIDS and asthma without resorting to conventional medicine.

 

Freedom Online, "Gambia's Premier Online Newspaper", have exclusively revealed that President Jammeh is suffering from pancreatic cancer. Strangely no other media source has chosen to run with this disturbing news...

When describing Bella's moods they must tend to exaggerate.

Rumours abound that the long-serving Isias Afewerki, Eritrean President is "dead" as he hasn't been seen in public for a while - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-17875943.

 

Using that rule, most of the remaining members of "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" must be deceased too.
