All African leaders are such greedy of power they never care about their people. Such idiot dictator deserve to throw them to prison. I am hoping this kind of action should be taken to the dictator and teenage leader of Ethiopian prim minister Abyi Ahmed Ali.

Before it is too lat,and before Africans are swallowed up by the global python,we need to learn how to solve our own social,economic and political problems.
For that to happen first people need to live or put to use their faith in practice,such as speaking truth and helping the needy .
On the issue of speakinwg truth,ordinary people across the world are pawns in the hands of politicians. That means most politicians work,behind closed door for self or for special interest groups.Precisly for this reason,many in the west are poor,even homeless.Therefore it is hypocritical for the west to shovel its own social problems at home often,and
Pretend to solve other nations issues.A person dinning in a nice restaurant that ignore a hungry man he sea across,if he claim he has to go to Africa to help others,this simply does not hold water .Unfortunstly this is what more or less the neo colonialists have been doing;indirectly controlling Africans.Say no to European and western educated African puppets who are go for their masters.The people need home grown leaders,who listen to the people to tackle issues,through practical means. African nations can make it,if they learn to strengthen their internal unity,and cooperate with their neighbors.

eric dave says:

Nigeria will be next.

Christopher Antwi says:

Most African leaders when given the power to serve their people start acting as if they own the country. People are now tired of all the rubbish that has been going on. Ghana might be the next country to experience a coup if the present government continues to ignore the pleas from the people to fix the country. It is sad to see a man disgraced in such a manner. He could have avoided all these if he had done his duty i.e SERVE HIS PEOPLE.

W W says:

This serves a good lesson to rogue African leaders who cling to power.

Blessed Emmanuel says:

It's high time Africans understand that this so called UN, ECOWAS, are all union of the most evil humans in the history of the world. Their mission against Africa is to enslave it forever. Go read and make researches about what am saying, then you will understand. Until Africans stand up for a bull fight, it's future generations will suffer thesame. Freedom will never be given, but can be taken….

Desmond Bro says:

Somebody should tell the so called ecowas or any international body that are asking for the release of that criminal that they are the agents of backwards and corruption in Africa

Tamfu Desmond says:

AU and Ecowas should keep being the sleeping bulldog

Taxi Kalaty says:

African never had a leader of any kind it's always what the white man choose

Johnhicker Santilan says:

Can't believe this country have government form I thought they hunt only in jungles or something xD

Tewodros Alemayehu says:

This would be lesson to Ethiopia too.
