Despite the ex president rule for 27yrs in bukinafasso.I was arguing with a friend dat despite d mammur gadafi rule was gud yet he was humilated,but blaise compaore wasn't humilated .
Ds can nva happen in Nigeria,where a leader will rule for 27yrs.
What makes it different frm gadaffi depsite long years in power.

Burkina faso has no oil.no US interest.

Nice point there Op! It is a case of back stabbing. The libyan uprising then took me by surprise. Yet Gaddafi wasn't committing any humanitarian crimes or bring hardship on his people but rebel groups are being funded to fight him. look at libya what it has become now, far worse than when Gaddafi was in power. It is a pitiable dismal pissmal.

Gaddafi should have escaped when he had d chance. But pride, he thinking to himself how can these people who are given everything rebel against me. They say pride goes b4 a fall.
