@iam_Maimo CCP (with some forn of suffrage) did, Mao was an epic failure. That’s selective history. Lee Kuan built Singapore with institutions, rule of law, and trade, not just control. China grew after reforms, not raw authoritarianism. Most dictatorships fail. Governance > dictatorship.

"A dictator always dies and leaves behind a mess. A good leader, however, leaves behind systems that carry a nation forward in his absence. "
Farai Mazhindu@FaraiMazhindu

The cognitive disorder where a soldier is delusional enough to think he is the only soul in Burkina Faso capable of stewarding sovereignty is exactly what is holding Africa back. If Ibrahim Traoré were a genuine leader willing to undertake the necessary reformation of Burkina Faso, he would have done so by now. He took power in 2022; how much more time does he need? He will die in power if no one stops his regime. This is the old, tired story of African dictators and military juntas. He should have architected systems that would outlive him, creating the electoral, economic, and governance institutions for his generation and the next to follow. The U.S. government follows a 250 year old roadmap established by its founders. Had George Washington refused to step down, or had Abraham Lincoln decided that only he could save the Union and abolished elections and political parties, there would be no American superpower today. Their greatness lay in their submission to a system larger than themselves. A dictator always dies and leaves behind a mess. A good leader, however, leaves behind systems that carry a nation forward in his absence. We cannot deny the impact of the IQ metric on the quality of governance and national systems. The African story is a repetitive cycle of men with weak cognitive capabilities making weak decisions. reuters.com/world/africa/f…

Yoweri Museveni was not a frail old man when he seized power, he was a fresh-faced, 41 year old revolutionary promising heaven on earth to the Ugandan people. In 1986, he famously declared that Africa's greatest problem was leaders who overstayed their welcome. Decades later, that visionary has become the very cautionary tale he once wrote. The tragedy of the African leadership crisis is this recurring cycle of happy beginnings that inevitably lead to horror endings. A man who rose to power fighting against tyranny has spent the last 40 years arresting critics, crushing opposition leaders like Bobi Wine, and dismantling constitutional safeguards to ensure he never has to leave. By 2026, the fundamental change he promised has devolved into a permanent presidency. It is a sobering reminder that a liberator is only as good as the institutions they leave behind, and Museveni chose to build a throne instead of a foundation.

Entre Camerounais, on se connaît. Le HOHA est notre de fonctionnement, de la maison, au quartier, jusqu’au sommet de l’État. On n’accorde peu de place à la négociation, aux droits. Ici, c’est la loi du plus fort : le HOHA. Dc, cessons de jouer les étonnés. Ils nous ont tchop…

Tous les Camerounais connaissent la solution pour mettre fin à ce régime… Mais ils savent aussi que ce régime les attend de pied ferme, et ne reculera pas. Alors, ils préfèrent se réfugier dans des envolées lyriques, des postures d’indignation coe échappatoire. Au sol…

Un bon papier dans Le Monde. Où l'on apprend incidemment que ni Fabien Roussel ni Olivier Faure n'iront manifester à Saint-Denis contre la submersion raciste qui guette. Ça se passe de commentaire. lemonde.fr/societe/articl…
