It is high time for Constitution Review in Francophone African countries that would put an end to perpetual kind of leadership by some selfish and aging politicians.Their constitutions are so dubiously packaged that, they give rooms for greedy leader to continue ruling till death. For instance, the Senegal case that is currently wearing an ugly head.
I think, it is time for African countries,especially francophone, to rise up to this challenge and push for a real Democracy.
