Mali Coup, a thread:
African leaders drafted for themselves a Constitution that bans coups or if you wish to call it military take-over of power. They did it so that they stay in power for as long as they want, even against the wishes of the people.

African leaders consider the States they rule as their personal property. They employ their incompetent relatives and practice rampant theft/corruption with impunity. They subject ordinary people to untold suffering resulting in abject poverty.

They torture those they consider opponents and dissenting voices for speaking against injustices, mistreatment and unleash atrocities of all forms.

If you look at what is happening today in Mali, the army officers who arrested the President and the Prime Minister are being called upon by the regional leaders not to proceed with their plans.

Do these regional leaders who are not in Mali understand what injustices the citizens of Mali have borne? Do they care?
The joy, jubilation and ululations by the Malian people on the streets of the Capital seem to show that they are finally free.

Who does the African Union represent anyway?
