Many of us thought we wouldn't see him and his hat anymore on the News but , Jonathan Headache is back into the saddle, this time riding in Mali.
He is now the "chief negotiator " telling ( not asking) the people of Mali who should be their president and for how long.
Latest news had it that ECOWAS wants a civilian ( another crook working on behalf of France ) to lead a transitional government after
crooked Ibrahim Boubakar Keita was overthrown by a popular uprising supported by the army.

You guys write/speak/act with so much emotion in Africa. You guys do not care about implications neither do you think about long term effects. Africans don't even know when they are being aided and when not. Funny think is that you present your opinion with strong words as if they are facts. Tell me, who is this civilian person that France wants to impose on Mali? What is his name and where is he from? What is your source?

The world is moving away from military regime and the military wants take Mali back and here you are calling out Jonathan who is only a mouthpiece of the collective decision of ECOWAS. The association is not telling Mali who will lead them, instead it's giving Malians back the power to choose their leader, something the military is not known for. They proposed a civilian interim leader as this is the only way to ensure an election is conducted soon enough for the country to have a president. Do you know how difficult it would be to get the military to conduct an election if they refuse to give up power? (Which is definitely going to be the case)

What is happening in Mali is not new. In fact, it's a repetition of what happened there in 2012. Some people celebrated it and now it's happening again. And it will continue to happen if the military keeps going unchallenged. You can't even begin to imagine the effects of this instability on the economy. Mali's problem is not too different from that of Nigeria, too many group each with grievances. And coups, as can be seen from the past, aren't solving anything but only making things worse.

The fact that the president was successfully ousted is already a bad precedence. Coups lead to coups. The military could wake up anytime and kick out their chief of armed forces because it's been done before and it was successful. If you now allow those who plotted the coup to take over as leaders, that would be a 100% success on their part and there will be no moral authority to end such archaic power take-over process because that's how they came to power themselves.

Such instability will be the death of their almost lifeless economy. In fact, this will simply take Mali 50 years backwards as laws will be completely discarded. And in the absence of laws, the kind of corruption in the government will be the fearless and bold one. No judiciary can stop such.

It's funny when people just want everyone to fold their arms and watch these uniform guys forcefully take the country. Marlians didn't like the former president but they didn't ask for a military regime. They only need the opportunity to vote in someone of their choice.
