BLAISE CAMPAORE: PRESIDENT 4 LIFE AS PARLIAMENT TRYING TO REMOVE A 2-TERM LIMIT

Africa major problem is the sit-tight leaders that refused to embrace true democracy. Jereome Bougouma, minister for territorial administration and security, said after a cabinet meeting on Tuesday that Burkina Faso's government will submit a bill for parliament to call a referendum on removing a two-term limit for the presidency.

The step is the latest move by supporters of President Blaise Compaore, who has been in power since 1987, to stand for re-election next year when his last term comes to an end.

It is important to note that Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara was overthrown and assassinated in a coup d'état led by the French-backed Blaise Compaoré on October 15, 1987!!!

The question that is begging for an answer now is that since Blaise Compaore took over what has he done in-term of achievement?

However, for the bill to be adopted, Compaore and his allies must secure an outright majority of the 127-seat National Assembly. His CDP party won 70 seats in a 2012 vote but it has suffered defections over the proposed constitutional changes.

The opposition leader,Benewende Stanislas Sankara, in his remarks said:

"Today we have the proof that those in power want to fiddle with our constitution. We will now see if the members of the National Assembly go along with the wishes of the people or those of one man,"
