I caught on to Gadhaffi’s demise rather late in the day compared to everyone else but I was quite surprised that he was actually still in Libya. It has to be down right stupidity or the most optimistic act ever, I mean really! Did he not have tv, radio or even the internet to learn how change had swept through Libya and that they would be no way back for him? Or when all his sons took off into the desert didn’t the penny drop then that it was time to go.

It is not bravery or galantry but we see it all the time, Mubarak, Gbagbo and now this dude! they never run away when it is clear to everyone that it’s time to run away, didn’t Gadhaffi see Gbagbo getting bitch slapped on world TV after hiding in a bunker when he really should have just run away? or the image of Mubarak being wheeled into court in a hospital bed after refusing to leave Egypt when the people asked him to leave. I suppose it takes a long time for them to forget that they no longer have any power and also they seem to forget that African politics is exceedingly cruel to the opposition.

If i could tell all these iron fist type leaders anything I would tell them it’s never too early to run away once the people catch the buzz and are mobilising to kick you out, just run, as far a you can and forget about the power and money because if they get their hands on you it will be a different Africa that you experience.

Incidently anyone know what happened to Gbagbo? last time I saw him his future didn’t look too bright!
