Holding on to power: Africa's longest-serving leaders​

Wednesday, April 21, 2021

By AFP
After three decades in power, Chad's President Idriss Deby Itno died on Tuesday from wounds suffered on the battlefield, the army said in a shock announcement just a day after the 68-year-old was re-elected to a sixth term.

Here are some of Africa's other longest-serving leaders, some of whom change the constitution, crush the opposition and use fear and violence to maintain their grip on power.

More than 30 years​

Equatorial Guinea's Teodoro Obiang Nguema is Africa's longest-serving leader, still in power after 41 years. He deposed his uncle in a 1979 coup, and became "the country's god" with "all power over men and things", state radio said.

Obiang, the world's most enduring non-royal head of state, was last re-elected in 2016.

Cameroonian President Paul Biya has been in office more than 38 years. He was re-elected in 2018 for a seventh term.

Congo President Denis Sassou Nguesso has held power for a total of 36 years and was re-elected for a fourth term after elections on March 21.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, in power since 1986, was re-elected in January with his main rival Bobi Wine claiming the election was rigged.

In southern Africa's tiny Eswatini, formerly Swaziland, King Mswati III is the continent's last absolute monarch. He ascended the throne in 1986.

Even longer​

Ethiopia's late emperor Haile Selassie holds the record for the longest time in power on the African continent. After reigning for 44 years, he was ousted in 1974.

Libya's Moamer Kadhafi, who ruled with an iron fist for nearly 42 years, was killed in 2011 after an armed rebellion that later turned into a civil war.

Omar Bongo Ondimba governed oil-rich Gabon for more than 41 years until his death from cancer in 2009.

Angola's Jose Eduardo dos Santos stepped down in September 2017 having led his oil-rich country for 38 years.

Zimbabwe's former president Robert Mugabe, who died in 2019, was in power for 37 years.

Not really. Most Tanzanians save for one or two are complete dimwits and nincompoops. There is no quality discussion you can have with most of them. Save for people like Tuusan or The best 007, the rest are empty debes making unnecessary noise. One is better off doing something else than waste energy arguing with grasshoppers here. Very low IQ, very low reasoning capacity is the order of the day. Kwanza that Kenyan hater, I think you know him, is complete garbage.

count on me says Macron

Total gives greenlight in Uganda

Total has taken a final investment decision (FID) on the Lake Albert development, putting Uganda on the path to first oil in early 2025. The

French President Emmanuel Macron has spoken of his support for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).

Macron’s comments came in a letter to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, as reported by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s office.

The French president was eager to speed the construction of the pipeline. This construction plan will provide an opportunity to increase the trade between France and Uganda, he said.

“The spirit of dialogue, mutual esteem and respect will enable us to strengthen our bilateral relationship. You can count on me to mobilise French expertise and investors to increase the French economic presence in Uganda and thus give substance to this relationship,” Macron said.

The French president was reported as saying he wanted Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and Economic Attractiveness Franck Riester to visit Uganda.

The minister will help “our mutual desire to intensify our partnership”.

Uganda, Tanzania and Total signed off on the final investment decision (FID) on April 11.

This development “will allow the exploitation and export of oil. This will be a major opportunity to intensify trade between our two countries and to further expand our cooperation,” he said.

Macron also noted bilateral discussions in strategic areas, such as South Sudan, Somalia and tensions around the Great Lakes.

Museveni has transformed Uganda, Macron said, with “economic and human development. This is why I hope that your action will be focused on meeting the new aspirations of the Ugandan youth and that your new term in office will be centred on the full respect for the humanist and democratic values that we share.”

Uganda imported $51.2 million of goods from France in 2020, the statement said, and exported $9mn worth of goods.

Finance pressures

While the French president is keen to support EACOP, banks have come under pressure to reject the plan.

BNP Paribas, Société Générale and Crédit Agricole expressed an unwillingness to participate in April, following similar statements from Barclays and Credit Suisse.

A report this week in the East African newspaper suggested UniCredit has also opted out of the project.

Total must secure around $2.5 billion for the pipeline construction. Uganda and Tanzania are also seeking financing to cover their share of costs.
