Nkurunziza-Kagame-Kabila: Constitution? What Constitution?
Constitution? What constitution?Presidential term limits are a hot topic in many parts of Africa at the moment. Could this be the one topic on which African leaders can agree?Burundi's president, Pierre Nkurunziza triggered violent street protests when he announced his plan to run for a third presidential term. At least 72 people have been killed in street clashes, according to initial reports, with many more injured.Next door in the DRC, president Joseph Kabila also triggered protests when he expressed a desire to alter the country's constitution to allow him to contest for a third term. At least 42 people were killed by security forces in protests earlier this year.To the North of Burundi, Rwandan president Paul Kagame has expressed 'openness' to the idea of altering the small country's constitution to allow him to extend his current presidential term.Despite attempts to enforce continent-wide policy on term limits, it seems likely that the leaders will proceed with their plans.In this week's cartoon, Waza cartoonist, Meddy Jumanne wonders; could this be the one thing they have in common?Latest Cartoon of the week

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
