The Abdoulaye Wade music video
written Sunday, 29 April 2007
Yesterday I saw the most hilarious example yet of African "big man" politics - the President Abdoulaye Wade music video. It featured two girls riding down the highway in Dakar in a covertible or jeep or something, and singing about how great "grandfather Abdoulaye" is - that he is bringing Senegal into the future, building roads, creating jobs, etc. Every few seconds they would cut to one of the standard photos of Wade, where he has his arms raised in a victory pose.
Should the President Bush tribute music video be next?
