 Nkurunziza-Kagame-Kabila: Constitution? What Constitution?

 

Constitution? What constitution?

- by
Meddy Jumanne
Presidential term limits are a hot topic in many parts of Africa at the moment. Could this be the one topic on which African leaders can agree?
Burundi's president, Pierre Nkurunziza triggered violent street protests when he announced his plan to run for a third presidential term. At least 72 people have been killed in street clashes, according to initial reports, with many more injured.
Next door in the DRC, president Joseph Kabila also triggered protests when he expressed a desire to alter the country's constitution to allow him to contest for a third term. At least 42 people were killed by security forces in protests earlier this year.
To the North of Burundi, Rwandan president Paul Kagame has expressed 'openness' to the idea of altering the small country's constitution to allow him to extend his current presidential term.
Despite attempts to enforce continent-wide policy on term limits, it seems likely that the leaders will proceed with their plans.
In this week's cartoon, Waza cartoonist, Meddy Jumanne wonders; could this be the one thing they have in common?           
Be sure to check out Waza blogger Philani Nyoni's take on Robert Mugabe's pan-Africanist reputation, and don't miss a Rwandan's letter to his Burundian counterparts in the wake of street protests.

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”
