        It looks like Africa has finally entered a new phase in her democratic history. In Mugabe, Zuma and Deslegn, we have now witnessed the resignation of three African heads of states within 4 months.

        ...Africa is changing.... We can only hope against all odds that change in leadership would bring about the much anticipated change in our institutions of governance.
