Those who took over, may wind up being even worse than Mugabe and that possibility is more probable than not.

On April 12, 1980, Samuel Doe led a military coup, killing President William R. Tolbert, Jr., in the Executive Mansion. Twenty-six of Tolbert’s supporters were also killed in the fighting. Shortly after the coup, government ministers were walked publicly around Monrovia in the nude and then summarily executed by a firing squad on the beach.

The reason Mugabe is being taken out is due to his preoccupation with his own power and his failure to live up to his obligations in upholding his side on the international war on terrorism. Here are a few examples of the rise of terrorism in Africa and the threats developing there:

Think about what just happened to our troops in Niger and then it will make sense to you.

And in turn Samuel Doe was overthrown, and they first cut off his ears as a reminder that he was a poor listener. Africa is and always will be “The Dark Continent “.

Heard a lot worse than that, regarding Mr. Doe.
