the 22 nd president of Liberia . Charles ruled for eight
years from 1997 -2003 . Taylor was born on January 28
1948 in a small town near Monrovia Liberia . Before he
became the president of Liberia , Charles was a leader
of a rebel group known as The National Patriotic Front
of Liberia . Charles Taylor was accused of being a war
time criminal who committed several atrocities and
crimes against humanity , this is due to his
involvement in the Sierra Leone Civil War that occurred
between 1991 and 2002, Charles Taylor was eventually
found guilty at the International criminal court of
justice , The Hague in 2012 for all eleven charges
ranging from terror, Conscripting or enlisting children

9. Paul Biya
Paul hails from Cameroon and was born in February
13 1933 . Politics was always in Biya’ s blood, and he
has managed to be president for several terms, he
has been the President of Cameroon since 6 November
1982. Biya has many critics for his lack of public
appearances, but Biya wields his sweeping powers like
a tyrant. He rules with his authoritarian fist that lets
him essentially push any policies that he deems
necessary . Though not the worst of the worst, Biya is
one of the best known examples of
authoritarianism . “Tyrants, the World ’ s 20 Worst
Living Dictators ” , by David Wallechinsky , ranked Biya
together with three others mainly in sub-Saharan
Africa: Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Teodoro Obiang

8. Robert Mugabe
Uncle Roo is the quintessential hero to tyrant , the
modern day messiah that helped bring freedom to
Zimbabweans only to get himself power drunk , he has
been in power since 1980. Robert Gabriel Mugabe is a
man who needs no introduction. Mugabe is an odd man
when it comes to dictators. He has the illusion of
democracy on one hand while he oppresses the white
Zimbabwe people with the other , Robert Mugabe has
been viewed as being racist towards white people ,
targeting white citizens in various ways . To make him
even more confusing , a number of Africans consider
Mugabe a hero in their eyes . Mugabe has committed
many crimes against human rights according to news
sources. In Mugabe ’ s words he has referred to
lesbians and gays as being “worse than dogs and pigs ”
Though his worst crimes are wielding his authoritarian
power to strip white people of their wealth and
property. In the international scene , he is regarded by
many , especially the white folks as one of the worst
dictators of Africa ever



7. General Sani Abacha
Abacha hails from Nigeria and though he only retained
power for a scant five years, he managed to commit a
lifetime of crimes in this time period . He declared his
government to be above the law and he essentially did
whatever he wanted. Sanni Abacha has been described
by political pundits as “ the most brutal dictator of the
west African powerhouse ” . He ruled his nation with
impunity. Though unconfirmed , rumours emanating
from official circles has it that the senior military
officer died in sexual bouts with Indian prostitutes . He
will always be remembered for the 1995 killing of the
political and environmental activist , Ken Saro Wiwa . He
was also responsible for five billion dollars in stolen
funds . It is believed that his family still holds a
significant amount of these ill gotten gains . General
Sani Abacha is one of the worst dictators of Africa

6. Sekou Toure
Sekou Toure was only to be president of Guinea for
four years. He managed to rule it for three decades
from 1958- 1984 . He declared Guinea a one party
state. Toure was another typical case of someone that
was initially seen as the ‘ Guinean Messiah ’ , but later
became a pain to his people . Toure who was one time
leader of the Pan - Africanist movement consistently
spoke out against colonial powers , he befriended
African American activists that includes the like of
Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael, to whom he offered
asylum . He is survived through the Guineans who fled
the country to avoid the death camps that were
enacted under his watch . Many of his political
opponents were executed in these camps .


5. Macias Nguema
Macias Nguema was the son of a witch doctor . Nguema
was the first president of Guinea . Though not as
brutal as some other dictators, he managed to do
some of the weirdest crimes out there . Some of his
crimes include stalking his mistresses’ former lovers.
Other crimes he committed were intellectual murder
by killing the intellectuals of his country . According to
reports , more than a third of Equatorial Guinea ’ s
population had to flee to other countries to escape his
brutal reign . It was also reported that he ordered
execution of entire families and villages , during the
time of his reign , the country had neither a
development plan nor proper accounting system for
government funds . Macias Nguema trusted no one , he
spent most of his time in his ancestral village of
Mongomo , where he kept the national treasury right
under his bed or in suitcases in his hut , but on the
18 th of August in 1979 , he met his end by his own
nephew who sentenced him to death . His nephew
Teodoro Obiang Nguema is still in power to this day.

4. Siad Barre
Siad Barre was a man who seized power and stayed in
power from October 21 1969 to January 26 1991 . He
adopted socialism to the so called needs of Somalia.
His influences came from countries such as China and
Russia . Though he attempted a lot of good , Barre
committed a significant amount of human rights
violations such as jailing dissidents . Barre was also
very well known for using his power to remove all
opposition or people who just didn ’ t like . Barre died in
political exile in 1995, but was returned to Somalia for
burial in his home region.


3. Omar Al - bashir
Omar Al- bashir is a more recent case of dictators. His
biggest call to fame was in March 4 2009 when he was
issued an arrest warrant. Omar has been charged with
seven crimes against humanity . Omar planned to
commit genocide against several ethnic groups such
as the Massalit and Zaghawa groups , Omar is regarded
by many today as one of the worst dictators of Africa

I see nothing wrong with the Mugabe's words on lesbians & gays

2. Hissene Habre
Hissene Habre is one of dictators that didn ’ t do too
much , but still is a dictator . His rise to power was
from Libya invading Chad . Habre and his troops
defeated Libyan troops and sent them packing in
November 1981 . However , many human rights groups
hold Habre responsible for killing thousands of
people. These killings include massacres against
Hadjerai , and Zaghawa . The Human Rights
watch charged him with authorizing the murders of
tends of thousands of humans and torturing them
while under his rule.


1. General Idi Amin Dada of Uganda
Ever seen that 1981 movie titled “Rise and Fall of Idi
Amin” or 1976 “Raid on Entebee “? – Kind of brings
back some old memories , what about “ The Last King of
Scotland” ( 2006) that earned Forest Whitaker
Academy awards best actor , these movies are based
on the events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin .
Idi Amin is someone that doesn ’ t need too much
introduction, he is one of the worst dictators of the
last 20 th century , also known as the “ Butcher of
Uganda”. This 6 feet 4 inches tall Ugandan boxing
champion made the highest rank possible for a Black
African serving in the British Army . This man
committed some unbelievable brutality that only
modern day Mexican drug cartels would touch , It is
belived that at least 300, 000 people were killed during
his regime. He was born some time in the mid 1920s in
Koboko Uganda and died in August 18 2003 . This
butcher left his mark on the world by using his
infamous killer squads to murder his opponents and
their families . He showed no mercy to anyone . The
scariest thing about Amin was his ability to change
from a gentleman to an incredibly angry person with
no provocation . Amin is some that has been described
as erratic , unpredictable and outspoken . After the
United Kingdom broke off all diplomatic relations with
his regime in 1977 , Amin declared he had defeated the
British and conferred on himself this full title:
“His Excellency, President for Life, Field
Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada , VC, DSO,
MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and
Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British
Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in
Particular”
