Sometimes I wonder

Why it seems that so many leaders in Africa would rather people starved to death than admit any weakness or failure. The president of Niger seems to be one such man. I wonder if one has to be utterly corrupt to rise to power in these countries, or whether corruption comes from being in post for more than a short time? You have to wonder what it is that makes some of these guys turn.

I despair for Africa sometimes.
