eh Africa from BNN (Bonnie's News Network)
Last a couple of week, the economic capital of Cameroon, Douala, had some strikes and riots due to the ever rising cost of living and the current president's intention to change the constitution to be able to run another term. More 100 people died. President Biya has been in power since 1982, he said that a current constitutional limit on a third elected mandate "sits badly with the very idea of democratic choice." - you are to judge
Last a couple of week, also at Bobo-Dioulasso, the second largest city in Burkina Faso, there were also strikes and riots due to rising cost of living.
Recently, Chad has their problem of rebel charging all the way to the capital and forced the president Idrisse Déby at his palace for a few days. More than 400 people have died.
Zimbabwe is having their presidentialy election at the end of month, with current president Mugabe running for a 6th term. He has held this position since 1980.
Algerian president is also talking about changing their constitution so he can run for president again.
Of course you heard about problem in Kenya. I have to say that I am surprised that it got resolved like it did, with the history of ethnic strifes that paralyze this continent. God forbid ethnic riots will ever erupt here in Guinea, which it is not out of realm of possibilities.
