Revitalizing African Leaders…not Al Bashir

Phillip Bohwasi, writes via African Business Executive:
“Africa has had problems with its leaders, a majority of whom were elected into power through popular revolution; but found no checks and balances for the misuse of power in place...Leadership is the cornerstone of all processes of revitalization. Leaders are in short supply and must be revitalized and produced. [For example] the unavailability of “good leaders†has led the African continent to develop slowly and languish in the primitive agricultural labour phase.“
Good idea, but who will initiate the revitalization process for those that can be revitalized? God will not save Africans from their devitalized leaders, what several of them need is urgent psychiatric evaluation.
Sudanese president, Omar Hassan Al-Bashir is one of them. This is what Al-Bashir says of the Darfur crisis:
“There are no humanitarian crisis…the Western media had exaggerated the problem….aid workers were trying to prolong the crisis to keep their jobs.”
This man, Al-Bashir, is beyond revitalization; he simply needs to be ushered out of power and given PRN doses of antipsychotic medications. That’s what he needs!
