Billionaire tax cheats go to heaven

Virgin Galactic is compiling  its list of passengers to  space.  Here is a list

of prospective candidates that should

get on board on a one- way ticket:

1. Paul Biya of Cameroon- for overstaying in office, brutalizing opponents, and  selling out to France.

2. Alassane Ouattara - for locking up

    dozens of members of parliament, 

    political opponents,and  even those       who  fought a war on his behalf, and     for his  third-term   electoral     

     machinations.

3.  Museveni- for overstaying his term         of office and   for brutalizing 

       Bobbi Wine and other challengers,

       relentlessly.

4.  Rwanda’s Paul Kagame - for Jekyll

      and Hyde mode of governance-

       pretending to be a democrat while

       brutalizing his opponents,  and

       throwing critics in jail.

5.   I was about to add  Nigeria’s

       Buhari  to the list, but Cornelius

       threatened to throw me in the

       shuttle along with the others if 

       I dared to do so.

[Harrow, Kenneth]

i'd include zuma, with his friends, the gupta brothers who collectively stole many billions of dollars from south africans, and simultaneous effected state capture and destroyed one of the most glorious revolutions in the continent's history. the theft of money that could have significantly improved the lives of millions of south africans who waited long enough for their redemption.

there are two great movies on this theme, the latest by rehad desai , How to Steal a Country. the courage of those daring to face and charge zuma juridically was astounding including two women judges.

while we are at it, i'd add the current rulers in egypt and algeria, also thieves of the people and of the people's revolution.

and now ethiopia??
