4 African Presidents Overthrown By Western Conspiracies by ismalmuhd: 1:50pm On Mar 22, 2018
since 2017, the United States has been complaining bitterly about how Russia meddled in their elections. below are four African leaders who will see Russia's meddling as what goes around comes around.

1. Muammar Gaddafi

according to Western governments, Muammar Gaddafi is an impediment to democracy, a degenerate and a dictator. But in reality he was a revolutionist who took an impoverished Libya and turned it around into a major economic force. In 2011, an anti-Gaddafi uprising broke out resulting in civil war. Eventually, US and NATO-backed rebels brought down Gaddafi’s government.

2. Thomas Sankara

Sankara seized power in a popularly-supported coup in 1983, aged just thirty-three, with the goal of eliminating corruption and the dominance of the former French colonial power He immediately launched one of the most ambitious programmes for social and economic change ever attempted on the African continent.To symbolise this new autonomy and rebirth, he renamed the country from the French colonial Upper Volta to Burkina Faso ("Land of Upright Man"wink.His foreign policies were centred on anti-imperialism, with his government eschewing all foreign aid, pushing for odious debt reduction, nationalising all land and mineral wealth and averting the power and influence of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank.

On 15 October 1987, Sankara was killed by an armed group with twelve other officials in a coup d'état organised by his former colleague Blaise Compaoré. Compaoré immediately reversed the nationalizations, overturned nearly all of Sankara's policies, rejoined the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to bring in "desperately needed" funds to restore the "shattered" economy, and ultimately spurned most of Sankara's legacy. Compaoré's dictatorship remained in power for 27 years, until it was overthrown by popular protests in 2014.

3. Kwame Nkrumah

Kwame Nkrumah (21 September 1909 – 27 April 1972) was a Ghanaian politician and revolutionary. He was the first prime minister and president of Ghana, having led it to independence from Britain in 1957. In 1961, Nkrumah went on tour through Eastern Europe, proclaiming solidarity with the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.

In February 1966, while Nkrumah was on a state visit to North Vietnam and China, his government was overthrown in a violent coup d'état led by the national military and police forces, with backing from the civil service. The conspirators titled themselves the National Liberation Council and ruled as a military government for three years. Nkrumah alluded to possible American complicity in the coup in his 1969 memoir Dark Days in Ghana. Following the coup, Ghana realigned itself internationally, cutting its close ties to Guinea and the Eastern Bloc, accepting a new friendship with the Western Bloc, and inviting the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to take a lead role in managing the economy.

4. Sani Abacha

Sani Abacha was a Nigerian Army officer and politician who served as the de facto President of Nigeria from 1993 to 1998. Abacha wasn't exactly the most viscous president this continent has seen, but majority of Nigerians will be glad he is no longer president. During his regime, he and his family reportedly stole a total of £5 billion from the country's coffers

Early in 1998, Abacha announced that elections would be held that August, with a view toward handing power to a civilian government on 1 October. It soon became apparent, though, that Abacha had no intention of permitting an honest election; by April he had strong-armed the country's five parties into endorsing him as the sole presidential candidate.

Abacha died in June 1998 while at the presidential villa in Abuja. According to official government report, he died a heart attack. Most Nigerians know better, they believe he was killed by undercover CIA operatives disguised as Indian prostitutes.

Gadaffi is the greatest African leader,followed by Thomas Sankara and Mandela.


That abacha stupid,he wanted to become a life president in a country like Nigeria grin

So a kanuri man from borno but claim kano will be ruling while Yoruba's and other tribe go just dey look,yet his region is not really contributing enough to the federation, that man is so stupid.

If he was the president of northern Nigeria he won't be able to steal $5 billion,where e wan see am sef

The fool should have just split the country,he would still be ruling northern Nigeria as there president by now if he has done that.

The north is the region that needs Nigeria the most.

I was actually expecting to see Goodluck Jonathan's name on the list.

But I'm sure our present Bubu doesn't need any foreign intervention or conspiracies to be kicked out of power. We can't wait to dethrone this liar, this fraud!
