MUBARAK: FLASH BACK IN 1981
Today’s cartoon shows my portrait of Hosni Mubarak immediately upon his assumption of power. Soon after the assassination of President Anwar Sada on October 6, 1981 right on parade ground during the country’s independence anniversary, the then Vice President, Hosni Mubarak took over the reins of government. Mubarak grew over time to become the nation’s greatest oppressor.
THE MASSES AND THEIR TEST OF WILLS
The recent revolt in Egypt as well as the present altercations in Libya should teach African leaders one lesson: The people’s test of wills will always simmer to a point of explosion where leaders fail to look into history. Today’s article post is drawn from my Concord Laff column. Published after a revolt of prisoners at the Kirikiri Maximum Prison, it was a reflection of the revolt in France, and a warning to the Nigerian leadership at the time that there was a limit to the patience of the masses.
