Please allow me to thank the author of that good and well balanced article. The analogy that Africans could in principle be more Republican than they are democrats, and that their support for Obama could in the same vain merely be guided by inclination than conviction is striking. The suggestion of the author for Africans to learn from the West that health and moral issues of our leaders are not issues of the private domain is at best befitting. Who in their right mind would intentionally opt for a sick pilot? Charles Katjivirue from Namibia.
