The soldiers in
Mali have seized power against their democratic leader and the whereabouts of the democratic President Amadour Toure are unknown.This has led to the country 's isolation by its neighbouring countries and
the West who have refused to acknowledge the new government in power. The West have
withdrawn trade and humanitarian aid and Mali faces danger of economic and
social relapse. It is not the first time Africa has had Coups neither is it the
first time it has dictators in power. The cycle of coups and dictators seem to
be revolving in Africa although the countries have ratified Human rights
treaties. No wonder Africa is called the Dark Continent because it seems the
African leaders never learn and always put their selfish power hungry interests
before the people. Although Senegal ‘s elections proved however it’s high
time Africa has such democratic elections and learnt that the leaders should be chosen by the people and should not chose themselves!
