Dear editor,
Some leaders in Africa realy amaze me. Can you imagine the coup leader in Mauritania is now promising to stand for president come elections organized by him and his men?

The big irony is that he promised to start up a people based government through an exemplary free and fair election.

Is what he is trying to do, related to what he is saying or is he justifying the assertion that ‘politics is a dirty game’?

Can we stop spoiling our own and be more forcused on what our people and nations of Africa need.

I advice the coup leader not to stand.

Remera
