Oui nous devions déballé les démocratiser de l'Europeen à cimetières
Single party or no party is way forward.
great idea, it's just like wakonda, all the blacks should move there…
We have been hoodwinked to believe western ways r our ways since the slave masters told us they were , but NOW WE KNOW BETTER AND MAY YAHWEH BRING US OUT…ASAP…YESHUA😮
I believe to open the eyes of the young people.They should see films of slave history , and I know that will wake them up😮
UNTIL WE RETURN TO THEOCRACY, WE WILL REMAIN IN A WORLD OF CONFUSION.ALL THESE POLITICAL PARTIES ARE NOTHING BUT SPAWNS FROM THE EUROPEAN WESTERN WORLD TO ENTRAP US AND TO MAINTAIN OUR ENTRAPMENT😮

Prof, you cannot stand there and support changes of government via the barrel of a gun. There is no justification whatsoever,
and we should not generalize Africa. Let alone the whole continent, a single nation-state out of the 54 of them has
considerable variety within it–good and bad; and that is the beauty of it.
Over sixty years of western style democracy Africa is still poor rulling with permition from the west"puppets"
Africa should abolish democracy and election we should have council all tribs should be included and presidency must be rotational among all tribes six pple per tribe men,female,youth2,disable,leadee should be selected by councils for 8yrs ,loans,natural resources should be decided by the councils not the president alone
Democracy and election is a scam why should the presidency have authority to take loans on our behalf ?why should the presidency source for us investor from outside instead of buy the relevant machine to the lacols to the same? what is wrong with our brain is there a loose nuts in our brain?
NOW the Indians are meeting with Afrikan leaders who next
Just an alarm for those who wanna make a slight change for Africa 🌍 🚨
1st of all Traoré didnt say he would restore democracy per say. He saud he was gonna restore "DIGNITY" and sovereignty. He always said that "democracy" in the way that the west sees it is not democracy. So he never really said he would restore democracy. If anything, he would bring democracy to the country. Real democracy
Democracy Is An Indirect Slavery.🥺😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Independence Is Not Freedom.
Almighty God, Please Help Africa🇧🇫🇧🇯🇧🇼👍🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Almighty God, Protect And Preserve Captain Ibrahim Traore And Professor PLO And The Excellebt People Of Africa🇻🇺🇰🇳🇧🇴🇰🇪🇨🇬🇧🇯🇧🇫🇳🇬🏳️🌈🇬🇭🇬🇾
In the DRC there are over 910 political parties not 233.
In Kenya there are 93 political parties in 2026 not 60.
Embrace Fascism.
West democracy pericolosi non è originale democracy no boligo America Israel nato anche west economy west criminale politico mi dispiace tutto Africa solo Russia anche China anche North Korea platform
Real progress comes from unity, accountability, and systems that truly serve the people 🌍⚖ Africa’s future must be built on its own values, not borrowed models—time for bold, thoughtful change.
how this unity is only been tald by the leaders holding power at respective country and they are not able to solve there internal problems, at least they ate not willing to bring there people together. they talk about african unity just for fun.
The West is not considered our institution as the right one. Even though they doubted our political systems, we need to abolish this😢
How Africa should govern themselves form council of all tribes that include 2.males 2.females 2 youths 2 disabled resources and loans must be decided by the councils no election president should be rotational among tribes for 8 yes
I think it is high we should not blame the west African men have failed their wives and children for generation
Grosso problema democracy non è controllo coesto discorso
Dear Hon Prof PLO, your commentaries are always educative. You seem to have the history of the politics in Africa, with the answers to all its problems. But your education of the current affairs on the present situation on the continent is helpful in some way. But a man of your caliber would be of more effect to the continent by forming a political party in Kenya and take the presidency in the next general election. There you'll be of more effect in helping the continent with such power as a president. We need more action, and less talking. Action speaks louder than words.
