I really don't blame these African leaders who have turned their respective countries to their personal empire. Human, as they say is brutal and crude in nature if left unchecked. From Togo to Cameroon, Gabon to Congo, these men have turned their positions to dynasties, even when they die are being replaced by their children and relatives. They can go to any length to suppress any opposition in their ways.
The question is what is African Union position? Was African Union created to take care of these authoritarians or to protect the interest of the individual?
We need an alternative to African Union because all it does is to protect the leaders of its member countries not the people.
