In fact saying Mugabe had racial issues against white peoples is a bit funny, since for years Kirsty Coventry (whiter than flour herself) was introduced as the Mugabe´s golden girl. One would even say she was like his daughter seeing how often they were pictured together

Well duh, she brought the country glory and if there's one thing ruthless dictators like, it's glory and using the people who bring it

I’d say George Washington maybe, or maybe Wilson?

Didn’t Woodrow Wilson ‘bring democracy’ to a number of Latin American nations?

Yep, forgot about that. He did try to found the United Nations before people were ready though, and he did admit to many of his mistakes.

See this proves Mugabe learned from his mistakes and tried to rectify them. They should rename Zimbabwe as Mugabeland in honor of the great nationalist, saviour of proletariat, humanitarian and philanthropist Robert Mugabe.

I'd like Germany to change it's name to Hitleropia. He did, you know, kill himself. So that's good.

How many of them have a somewhat decent chance? 26 candidates sounds like...a lot  

 

It is still completely unclear no one will get more than 15-20 %  maybe 7 or 8 have decent chance at least to be in second round (top 2 )

 

 i think the top 6 (without ranking ) will be 

youcef chahed 43 yo  Head of the Tunisian government since 2016

Moncef Marzouki 74 yo Former President of the Republic of Tunisia, 2011-2014

Kais Saied  61yo Tunisian jurist and professor of constitutional

Abdelkarim Zbidi 69 yo Minister of National Defence. 

Abdelfatteh Mourou  71 yo  Vice President of the Assembly of the Representatives of the People since 2014

Abir Moussi  44 yo  Tunisian lawyer

Nabil Karoui  56 yo business  and owner of the Tunisian television station Nessma.(he is now in jail) but he can win  

 

 

 

Mourou marzouki and Abir moussi they can finish first in the first round but they dont have  any chance to win in scond round  only if two of them finish in top 2 (because of alliances)

So apparently Trump called off what would have been secret peace negotiations between the Taliban and the government of Afghanistan with the US as mediator to be held at Camp David starting somewhere around 9/11. Obviously people are furious that the government would have thought of such things, but my viewpoint differs here.

 

I think this was a step in the right direction. The dates should have been not during 9/11. However, peace talks are what’s needed. It’s what would’ve been best for the people of Afghanistan, who are the one's who suffered the most. It would have helped Afghanistan in multiple ways. It would have ended a nearly two decade war. It might have actually done good. 

 

I hope the next President is willing to facilitate such discussions.
