African Leaders Shun Nelson Mandela

Even though Nelson Mandela has become an inspiration to many, including the current president of the United States, Barack Obama, African leaders shun him like a plague. Of all the videos and picture taken of Mandela post-imprisonment, there is hardly any image of him with other African presidents. The reason for this may not be hard to decipher. While Nelson Mandela fought for human dignity, most African presidents despise their own people and are only concerned with filling their own bank accounts with the booty looted from their own people. Thus, rather than being an inspiration to African leaders, Mandela has become a terror to them. Let's see whether such African dictators such as Dos Santos of Angola, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Paul Biya of Cameroon, Yahyah Jammeh of The Gambia, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, among others, will attend his funeral.
