Africom Stands Up 2006-2017

This graphic illustrates one problem Africans have. Sorry you will have to work out who owns the flags, I only id'd Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Eight of the ten are in Washington DC today.

OK I relented awhile:

1) Equatorial Guinea
2) Swaziland
3) Angola
4) Uganda
5) Zimbabwe
6) Burkina Faso
7) Cameroon
8) Sudan
9) Congo (Brazzaville)
10) Gambia

That is 10 nations out of 54/55, hardly any kind of majority - what about the other 44/45 nations?

Well, one might argue that it’s better for the citizenry’s day-to-day life to have a static grifter in power than to be forced to choose a new one every X number of years. “At least he’s already fat,” as I have heard Burkinabé say, implying that any successor to Blaise would go through a fresh round of sating himself on the public dime.
