  The AU is a huge joke. Where are they with the Ebola problem. The AU nations should concentrate on at least feeding themselves.

  There is no power behind AU sanctions .They are all corrupt Africans. they should leave Burkina Faso alone for them to fix their own mess.

  AU has no right to command the army in Burkina Faso to return the nation into a civilian rule. The people have to decide for themselves. Burkina Faso is a sovereign nation and they have the right to decide who rules them. After getting rid of a dictatorial regime of Campoare they should be left alone. When Campoare murdered Thomas Sankara and took over the nation, where were AU. Why didn't the AU command him to hand over in 2 weeks time.

  Where were these idiots when one man was driving the whole country of 18 million to destruction? Burkina Faso soldiers must pay no attention to the so-called African idiots. AU has no authority in Burkina Faso.

  I wonder who signed this statement. How many of the so-called heads of state (or ruling parties, including Ghana's NDC), did not come to power the same way? Perhaps they prefer Campaore to come back, stroke the constitution and face the people's power (fires, looting, strikes) to some form of transitional government and eventual hand over as proposed by the military. A bunch of idiots. No wonder we are where we are.

  The AU is now made up of the new breed of African leaders who always 'kowtow' to the West's demands.
  
  Campaore was in power for 27years and no African leader....being it a so-called democratic state or not....could never ask him to hand over power.
  
  He was a dictator who killed his own people but, nobody and I mean none of the stooges we have as leaders from the AU never uttered a word....WHY NOW??????
  
  It was all because the French dictated who should or should not be in power to carry out whatever they required from their nation, for them.
  
  When are our REAL AFRICAN LEADERS who stood up for their own people ever going to emerge again to eradicate these AFROPEAN leaders from the continent. These AFROPEANS are metally enslaved and will never stop serving THEIR slave masters.
  
  NKRUMAH NEVER DIES!!!
  GOD BLESS GHANA!!
  AFRICAN FOREVER!!!

  AU is a mere toothless bird without claws. AU should fuck off. Where was AU when Gadafi was brutally murdered. What has AU been able to do about Ebola. All that AU can do is just to sit back and say what it has no power of. After all what impact can its sanctions bring about? What has AU been able to about Tyrants in the continent who have overstayed in their term of reign? Can AU possibly isolate Burkina Faso from the African continent? Bull shit!!! AU should be SCRAPPED.

  Diabolicaly greedy African leaders would not do anything good for their own people they came to power to loot ! aSo what do Compoare expect to happen to his motherland he was once the leadership for 27 greedily years for not handing over power but left unceremoniously.
  Yes,Zida or whatever he calls himself should leave the peoples power he has hijacked to them within 48 hours to pave the way towards Democratic rule."Stomach first African Military turned Politicians" hear and feel the New wave of Democratic Air in motion over the African Continent ! The African people have learned their lesson and would no longer support Military Juntas with its accompanying distressed rule,"Marshall laws"(by force-
  or obey before complain), preconceived irresponsible Tribunal Convictions against the people,Gross Economic and Financial Mismanagement,and the general lack of managerial knowledge and know-how in governance, government,Communicate to subordinates in Public Office workers as if on Military Parade,and lacks of simple Common Sense approach to resolve issues except by "marshal laws" (force or obey before complain).Africa do not need you to govern.No,no more !
  Again,African leadership and therefore the AU,should endeavor to pull their resouces together to do more for the Continent.Because I find the Sanctions to be like a toothless bull dog !
  Compoare should be ashamed of himself to be in unexpected exile, due to his excessive greediness.
  Zida ,you use the gun to steal/hijack power form the people.You have nothing better in stock for them except Military brutality.SHAME !

  African soldiers are terrorists. People Power kicked out the dictator. Why not let the constitutional system of succession operate as stated in your country's laws? These buffoons in military uniform simply want to come in and get rich while destroying the country. Kick out the military bastards.
