The above picture shows Egyptians in their millions celebrating the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, who assumed office barely a year and a month ago, precisely on June 30, 2012. African leaders have got to learn from this, and resolve to be accountable to the people,since "Democracy" is the government of the people,by the people and for the people. Again,there is the need for them to know that the voice of the people is the voice of God.
There is no powerful leader outside of the one loved and respected by his people. Whenever a leader loses his respect and support from the people,he should be man enough to let go of power. The interesting thing about this scenario, is that the coup was called for and supported by the Egyptian masses.And indeed, it was a peaceful coup that is not without blood, especially of the people that laid down their lives for this 2nd revolution.
Well said Segun! In the words of Thomas Jefferson , “Occasionally the tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants”; very sad but rings truth. I hope they learn from this though and shouldnt latch on to the mentality that throwing 'revolutionary tantrums'will get you what you want always :-). Keep it up Segzie!
