This is how Africa is terrorizing itself

During his recent visit to Uganda, a Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi did not only urge President Museveni to rule for life but also inaugurated a committee to ensure his counterpart wins his fourth time in the next election. In view of this, Col. Gadaffi launched the Revolutionary Committee Movement (RCM) in the VIP lounge of the Serena Hotel on March 19, 2008 sources at the function that lasted 45 minutes. His focus if implemented, would plug Ugandan nation into a bloody state. The sprit of democracy allows people to choose their own leaders.
''RCM should make sure that good leaders like Brother Museveni do not leave power simply because of elections,'' Col. Gadaffi reportedly told the group. He also reportedly praised the group for its high level of organisation, saying it had members who could use to change political tides in the country. The Opposition has criticised Col. Gadaffi’s action calling it abominable although not surprising.

While addressing Afro-Arab youth delegates from 30 countries meeting in Entebbe two months ago, Col. Gadaffi said western-style democracy was incompatible with the African system. Why should a leader relinquish power when he is doing good things for his people? he said. There are people who talk about term limits. What are they? A Constitution is simply a document drafted by people. He added ''A leader should only leave power by the will of the people. President Museveni came into power through revolutionary means not by election. How can he simply go?''
This was the second time Col. Gadaffi, who assumed power in a coup in 1969, was urging Mr Museveni to stay on. The first was during a visit in 2001.

President Museveni, who came to power in 1986 as the head of a guerrilla army, went on to remove the term-limits clause in the Constitution and run for a third elective term in 2006. What I can say in this is that, Africa is totally terrorizing itself. Most African governments are the major source of violence in their land, because the incumbent rulers becomes reluctant to release power to the majority after general election, even if they seem to have failed. Mr. Gadaffi is a military soldier, the same as Museveni. They both snatched the control of their government by force. None of them used democratic means to achieve the power, and have consistently refused to step down on allegations that, they liberated their people. Ugandans should not be lured by their views, make use of your intelligence and do not be bothered by these two.
