Did I read your mind? Your editorial hit the nail on the head. I'm 
septical about Senegal being our guardian. I'm sure you remembered the 
Senegambian Confederation? I think the introduction of term limits and 
zero tolerance of any form of military coup into our constitution could 
remedy current situations.President should be chosen by the ballot not 
the bullet. There is another monster to tackle which is 
illiteracy.There is a saying in Sarahuleh which says " When you sow a 
stone it will never germinate" So is democracy in Africa.Our approach 
is all wrong. It will take a long way to go. The Devil you know is 
better than the Devil you don't know.

Hous:
 

It is equally worrying that he is coming out this way right after he 
had such a nice conversation with Obama on his role in Palestine. He 
probably saw that as an opportunity to station himself in the power 
seat. In hal Pularr, we say "Koo hendu addih, duluru nabatah." It 
simply means if the wind brings something, the wind whirls will carry 
it further. I am personally beginning to question if in fact the Arab 
Spring is an effective way of regime change. If the man in the 
presidency changes and there is no attitude change, that doesn’t 
resolve issues. A temporal fix to a problem such as the Arab Spring 
gives time to people to think about a permanent fix. The problem of 
such a method of change will without doubt continue to threaten the 
peace and stability of this region.

&gt;
&gt; Really?Just days after Morsi brokered ceasefire between the 
Isrealites
&gt; and Hamas,came the anouncement that he will change the 
constitution.The
&gt; new constitution will give the president more powers.Why did he 
need
&gt; more powers for? My question and the question most people will ask 
is
&gt; has the Arab Spring been effective? Is Egypt going back to the 
Hosni
&gt; Mubarak era? There is no question that such a move on the part of
&gt; President Morsi is major blow to the concept of the Arab 
Spring.Now let
&gt; see how critical the West will be by such a move.Right now Morsi 
has
&gt; the West on his side.He has cut a deal between Isreal and Hamas 
that
&gt; resulted into a ceasefire.
&gt; Remember the saying "the devil you is better than the devil you 
dont
&gt; know"? Stay tune.
