When The Wind Blows . . .

There is a saying in Cameroon that it is only when the wind blows that the behind of a chicken is exposed. Now that the governing government in Egypt is falling we are being apprised of its misdeeds, especially its cronyism. This NYT report about the economic mismanagement in Egypt applies mutatis mutandis to the situation in Cameroon and, I suppose, to many other African countries that purport to be practice democratic capitalism. The irony of it all is that Mubarak's party is called National Democratic Party (NDP). Perhaps it should be called the National Communist Party because it is clearly led by a politburo.
