Simon Mann pardoned from jail

Student Minister Hilary Muhammad questions on the pardoning of mercenary, Simon Mann, after spending 15 months of a 34 year prison sentence in Africa. Under the so-called "Wonga Coup" he attempted to overthrow the government of Equatorial Guinea in order to seize the wealth of the oil rich country for his white friends and associates back home in Europe.

This stupid black with a British accent and privileges and an Arab mind does not know what black people are going through under tyranies of the likes of Obiang and Mugabe. I see nothing African about this clown except his skin color. Fools like him could not even properly lobby black interests in the US and UK.

@imhotep1 i am not defending the coup gang,the reasons mann, tatcher and the rest got involved are very OBVIOUS, if u want to be productive in your criticism of the situation then look at the root of the problem....these guys obviously want a quick buck wherever they can find it, the real problem is our so called incompetent pseudo-goverbment. is time to stop blaming western and foreign powers taking advantage of our resources. we should blame ourselves for allowing them.

@ciempozuelos Even if there's country instability, I don't think Simon Mann had the best intentions. He was going to rape Equatorial Guinea like so many other Europeans and now Chinese who have been robbing Africa.

in as much as u may have good intentions in trying to protest the release of simon mann, as a guinean myself i find that u do not have a remote idea of my country, there's absolutly nothing "legitimate" about the current government absolutly nothing!!!!

Keep on teaching the truth Brother Minister. Briton and America have historically destabilized countries with the natural resources they need to survive. Instead of dealing fairly with them they would rather get them into debt and control them 100%. Never caring about the people just the product they extract from the land.
