King Mswati III of Swaziland: I am not a crook dictator!
Written by: Beck
Outraged by
a recent article calling him one of the world's ten worst dictators, this man:
Has this to say:
"It is a typical example of a monkey who thinks it knows how domesticated animals such as goats live," said Prince Masitsela, a palace advisor and older brother to Mswati, in comments carried by the Times of Swaziland on Sunday.
Todd of Clowning Glory further reflects:
Hard to say which is more insulting: that Masitsela thinks of foreigners as monkeys or that he thinks of his own people as goats.
Of course, King Mswati suffers no such criticism in his own kingdom having recently banned publications critical of the monarchy, eliminated bail for those detained for demonstrating against his government, and imposed severe penalties for those who defame the king. Mswati achieved all of this by royal decree – no need to bother with meddlesome lawmakers.
Read the rest. Really. Because I hardly include any of the material in the post, and I only really blogged it so I'd have an excuse to post that picture of King Mswati.
