Why Africa Suffers

The Reject The U.N site has an excellent expose' of how the Marxist thugs pillage and plunder their hapless countrymen when convening with various other thugs at fashionable United Nations affairs. The story over there is all about the nefarious "dictator for life or until he gets overthrown," Congo President Denis Sassou-Nguesso, chairman of the African Union.

Get this:

IN two short visits to New York last year the leader of one of Africa’s poorest countries spent $400,000 (£207,000) on hotel bills as members of his entourage drank Cristal champagne and charged tens of thousands of dollars of room service to accounts paid by the Republic of Congo’s mission to the United Nations.
Detailed hotel bills obtained by The Sunday Times showed that a Waldorf Astoria suite occupied by Congo President Denis Sassou-Nguesso, chairman of the African Union, recorded £12,000 of room service charges during a five-night stay last April that cost his country £73,000.

When he returned to the same hotel during the UN general assembly meeting last September, almost £14,000 of room service was added to his bill during another five-night stay. His entourage, including several members of his family, occupied 44 rooms which together ran up a bill of £130,000 — comfortably more than the £106,000 that Britain gave the country in humanitarian aid last year.

The latest revelations about Sassou-Nguesso’s lavish travel habits have appalled anti-corruption campaigners and embarrassed the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

Last year they agreed to a large debt relief package on the grounds that the country — known as Congo-Brazzaville to distinguish it from its neighbour, the Democratic Republic of Congo — was too poor to meet its financial commitments.

I know, this is petty thievery but it's indicative of the dictator mentality of Marxist thugs who don't give a tinker's damn about their suffering subjects. All they care about is padding their own pockets and bank accounts.
