Anyway, I vote for Kabila again. The Democratic Republic of the Congo isn't exactly thriving and I believe he and his dad must take some of the responsibility for that.
Well, it's probably better right now than at any other time since the coup against Lumumba (not that that was a hard), if not since Henry Stanley came. And yes, Kabila jr must take some of the responsibility for that.

Besides, not to be colonialist, but wasn't there a somewhat decent period after the Belgians stopped being utter monsters to the blacks and uptill war broke out after WWII? I get that it probably wasn't paradise to the non-whites there, but I have the impression that it was all-right if you compare it to other places in Africa and so on. But I will grant that I haven't studied its history in-depth.
Not sure about that, actually. May be true. Not really my point, anyhow - I just threw "Stanley" in as an afterthought.

Yes, Congo is poor and lawless. Sure. If you want to protest that, boycott mobile phones (whose mass breakthrough wouldn't have been possible without the late 90s and early 2000s warfare there. And is what fuelled, and paid for, that war.) Don't vote off an ex-dictator who brought the first free, and more or less fair, elections ever to the place.
At least half the people on here belonged off before him.

There's a "leader" in Somalia? News to me. Off he goes!

Unlike Erdogan and Ortega, he's an a) unelected b) totalitarian.

And what Red said. Smiley

The more-or-less accidental head bureaucrat of a peaceful, lovely, egalitarian but utterly unfree country is on his deserved (if perhaps a couple rounds early) way out already without my help, so I'm free to just throw names out there, right?

Yoweri Museveni (Gnassingbé already has people going after him. The Mauritanian is next on my hitlist after them. Then that Bosnian figurehead, simply on the grounds of being a figurehead.)

Erdogan wants to destroy his country's secularism,No brainer.
Yes, in the sense that the claim is one that requires the absense of a brain to make.

My least favourite leaders in this group out in the same round!
Nikola Spiric - he is not the real leader of Bosnia
And his name is spelled wrongly - it should be either Špirić or Shpirich.

Or you can understand that using a basic Australian keyboard and knowledge of slavic pronunciations, 'Spiric' is pronounced as 'Shpirich' Smiley

(my boyfriend (?) is the Serbian 'Nedeljkovic' Smiley)
No, when transliterating Slavic languages it's incorrect to use s for š, because there is a phoneme s. You are confusing it with Hungarian.

The de facto standard is the official standard minus the diacritics. (shrugs)

And how does this distinguish s from sh?
It doesn't. Which is of course a little annoying.

I used to read a friend's name as Skvorć for years until I was made to understand it's actually
Škvorc.

But but but he reintroduced IRV in PNG!

Besides, PNG fascinates me. So as long as Ernest goes after Somare, I am honor bound to go after the other Ernest.

Ernest Bai Koroma.
