One
time President Mugabe of Zimbabwe in his opening remarks at the African Union as
chairperson questioned why African leaders should have term limits. He likened
the two-term limit to a “rope around the neck” for African leaders, adding that
European leaders do not face the same term limits, yet are considered full
democracies.
Some
dismiss his comments as the confused ramblings of a man out of touch with
reality.
Are
term limits truly not a “rope around the neck” of leaders whose people want
them to continue serving?
