I find  it so disheartening when they sit around knowing (or maybe not/) the history of the likes of Mobutu and yet go the extra mile to sillennce the citizens they are supposed to serve.

I guess because I am not in power to know how or why  our leaders badly needed to sit on their thrones. Money yes but how much can you do with all that money. Mobutu was the fourth or fifth richest mann on earth while his people were the poorest in the world . What a shame. sometimes we just have to blame ourselves for allowing such mess to linger on forever.

 

good night .
