A Look At Africa's Remaining 'big Men' by ngodus: 3:19pm On Mar 24, 2011 |
The following is a list of Africa's remaining "Big Men" — the leaders who refuse to surrender power, and their sons: — Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea, 69 — Took power in a bloody coup in 1979. — Jose Eduardo dos Santos of Angola, 68 — President since 1979. Promised elections from 2006 until last year, when a new constitution abolished presidential balloting. The leader of the party that wins most parliament seats becomes president. — Denis Sassou-Nguesso of Republic of Congo, 67 — President from 1979 until a 1992 election defeat, seized power again in 1997 with help from Angolan troops. — Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, 87 — Elected 1980 after a seven-year war for black rule. Refused to accept a 2008 election defeat and is pushing to end a shaky unity government coalition. — Paul Biya of Cameroon, 77 — President since 1982. Has won questionable elections since 1992. Changed constitution so he can run again this year. Continue here: http://kabibi.com/lates-news/politics/3487-a-look-at-africas-remaining-big-men.html |
