@michaelthomas5433 I would say just other Africans.

"African Heroes Alliance"... so let me get this straight. In Africa, you become a hero if you're the military and you seize power from a democratically elected government (or in Mali's case, from another military junta). Some heroes you have over there.

@dedasalmeida9047 But I'm not from a country that committed war crimes, or engaged in colonialism for that matter. We're considered one of the top 5 democracries, too.

@dedasalmeida9047 You addressed me specifcally. For your info, I'm not speaking for "the first world countries". I speak for myself. I can assume some collective responsibility for a small people that endured colonialism, but never meted it out. Say, why don't you speak for Idi Amin and try to make excuses for his heinous crimes against humanity? You're African, right, like Idi Amin? You generalise as you please. Why can't I? There's your hypocrisy.

@ymarketingstrategies1128 Your reading comprehension leaves much to be desired.

That's an easy one. Because it perpetuates their illegal hold on power. One for all, all for one? Why wouldn't it work for partners in crime as well?

@rafael_lana If shape-shifting, blood-drinking aliens took on the likeness of Africans and staged yet another coup d'état in these countries, we would still see these coup fanboys and fangirls cheer them on as their saviours from colonialism, who only have Africa's best interests at heart.
