Tiangaye again!
Can someone please tell this puppet that his are crocodile tears?Does he expect,even if the crisis in CAR end tommorrow,that the population is going to accept him,Djotodia ans Seleka?After the suffering that they have caused them?
Can he tell the truth on why he is not asking help from the French,who have a military base inside the capital city?
He knows very well that the AU does not have the capacity and resources to deploy even 2000 men and have to rely on Western imperialists like France for funds.
If the crisis in Bangui was not happening with a blessing by the UN,I would request that the UN send a robust army of more than 5000 men,who would flush the rebels out of the country.They would have to build camps all over and protect the people.
The army and other security sectors would be restructured and trained.The new president would be elected.Social services would be revamped.Minerals would be controlled.The government would be representative.
Yet,that is a wish.The UN is a white man's tool,blessing France's plunder of the country's resources.And people still continue to die everyday.And the stupid puppet is begging Africa to help!Another way of legitimising their stay in power.
What is he telling his rebels who continue to be the law on the street?
