There is alot of jittery going on.
But give Blaise the “murderer” Compaore credit for going “away” in peace. At least for now.

ok guys on a side note is this similar bundling out of office at orange house
“we want to talk to Magerere”
on finding him “Magerere atoke inje”
as he is “escorted” out – “Our party is dead, (please leave – my line), get out”
finally as he is driven off in a police vehicle
“mpeleke/twende/enda kwa Ruto”

Its hard to know what was going on and where its leading.
But what I hate about this even though Magerer could have been a traitor but the parading of a certain tribe to “gladly” support the ejection of the man.
My take is that there is a better way of doing things.

This is a significant event in Sub-Saharan Africa
Kenya media is quiet because Kenya’s best friends over in Uganda, Rwanda, Sudan, etc have similar troubles looming ahead
Plus no need to even try to instill such a thought in Kenyans since these are rather volatile and troubled times indeed
Kudos to Burkina for ejecting a dictator who has long overstayed his welcome

Very true.
There is a lot of twitching nerves in many African countries.
Until now they have been saying that countries south of the Sahara are not Arabs nor is there a season called spring in them. Which means there cannot be an Arab spring in these countries. I guess they have been proved wrong

BBC Reporter: Mr Mugabe, you’ve been at the helm as PM for 8 years then President for 25 years. When are you going to say good bye to the people of Zimbabwe?
Mugabe: Bye to the people of Zimbabwe? Where are they going?
