        The BBC love lie too much. Decades ago they called Mandela a terrorist.

        I guess that's why they say "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter " .

        First time we have heard that saying. Which is a very interesting saying. But context always matters

        It is normal culture for Africa leaders to step down from office. They rather die in office.

        Two days prior to this article, Mauritius celebrated its 50th independence anniversary from the BRITISH. BBC didn't deem fit to cover how Mauritius survived as a developing country in Indian Ocean & Africa, and had a first woman as president. Instead, they choose to cover trash.
