Nossa África está cada vez pior.
E os nossos lideres, diplomatas, cientistas, estudantes, etc estão todos com os dentes fora.
Só mesmo em África onde um Presidente PERDE e acha que deve continuar no poder, mais ainda Chissanos, e companhias aplaudem que um Corrupto, Ladrão, com anos em frente de Zimbabwe não quer largar o OSSO.
E Eduardo dos Santos! Apartir do momento que se tornaram presidente, acham que compraram um terreno grande.
Alias, só mesmo em África onde um senhor de 40 anos é comparado ao Europeu de 7 anos.
