Fools learn from their own exprience

Lisyanga and his wife lived in a town filled with crime. After three neighbours houses had been robbed, Lisyanga and his wife decided to get a guard dog. The next day his wife went to a pet store and said; I need a good guard dog. The clerk replied; Sorry, they are all sold out. All we have left is this little Scottie dog. But he knows karate.Lisyanga's wife did not believe him so he said to the dog; Karate that chair. The dog went up to the chair and broke it into pieces. Then he said to the dog; Karate that table. The dog went up to the table and broke it into half. She bought the dog and took it home to her husband Lisyanga who was expecting a big guard dog. She then told him that the dog knew karate, Lisyanga said; Karate my ass. Lisyanga is in hospital now!!!

This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future.

The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
