Toughest tyrant - Paul Kagame is the survivor!

[big bad fab]

Mswati III
Obiang Nguema
Bolkiah

[big bad fab]

Raul is too interesting for me to join the bandwagon.
By thinking about Cuba, I've thought about Venezuela and, hence, to this question: why Putin is on the list and not Chavez ?
After all, they are both authoritarian guys who submit to "elections".

Anyway, as I can't vote for Chavez
my vote goes to the one who bores me even more than Lukashenka:

Putin

Putin

1. Chavez accepts that the opposition controls the vast majority of the Venezuelan media. Putins doesnt accept a free press.

2. The elections in Venezuela are fairly free according to neutral observers.

Chavez is many things, but not a tyrant. Certainly not comparable to Putin. The opposition is actually quite strong (and often rather violent) in Venezuela.

That makes sense.

3 Mswati III
2 Déby

Anyway,

3 Mswati III
2 Putin
1 Lukashenko

[big bad fab]

Mswati III (Swaziland)
Yahya Jammeh (Gambia)

[big bad fab]

5 points to Gambia: President Yahya Jammeh (1994-)
4 points to Bahrain: King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa (1999-)
3 points to Qatar: Emir Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani (1995-)
2 points to Togo: President Faure Gnassingbé (2005-)
1 point to Turkmenistan: Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow (2006-)

[big bad fab]

Bahrain: King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa (1999-)

[big bad fab]

3 points to Bahrain: King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa (1999-)
2 points to Chad: President Idriss Déby (1990-)
1 point to Guinea-Bissau: Chairman Mamadu Ture Kuruma (2011-)

These are really the least interesting ones.
Thein Sein must live a bit more: fascinating period in Myanmar-Burma currently.

[big bad fab]

Idriss Déby

[big bad fab]

5 Islam Karimov
3 Abelaziz Bouteflika
1 Ilham Aliyev

[big bad fab]

Yeah, OK, Salva Kiir

Karimov, Kabila and Afewerki can wait a bit

[big bad fab]

I'm OK for Kabila now.

[big bad fab]

3 Afewerki
2 Karimov
1 al-Bashir

[big bad fab]

Karimov

[big bad fab]

With Karimov, I wanted to save Rahmon
And Karimov is really a very classical (and boring) dictator: repression on all sides (religious, ethnic, political), no economic liberalization, no complex external policy.

I vote for Dos Santos now.
He has already been successful in survivors and, unfortunately, he is currently without any surprise in his upteenth renewed mandate.

All my favourites are out in fact (Thein Sein, Bouteflika, Compaoré, Nazarbayev) or are about to be killed (Rahmon).

[big bad fab]

I try Dos Santos again.

[big bad fab]

Kagame, Museveni, al-Bashir... well, well, well, not very exciting...

After all, I guess the interest of Museveni has faded a bit for some years now.
Museveni, indeed.

[big bad fab]

Omar al-Bashir for the win

[big bad fab]

Well, it will be difficult to have a large enough group of real fans (Edu, Hans-Alex, Nhoj, homely, Kal, yourself, myself, etc.) in the near future...

As for me, I'm not so sad, as this situation lets me quiet: I'm a moderator of nothing, and it's really kewl




And still, I had so many ideas of new survivors
