The Greek philosopher, Aristotle, put the act of tyranny in the realm of what is considered to be political corruption. When a leader or a government ceases to put their country and its people first, and commits acts associated with those of tyranny, the government no longer remains to be acting soundly or ethically. A few weeks ago, the government of Africa was called to account for their own acts of tyranny by the United States President, Barack Obama. He is the first United States president to speak out so honestly and so harshly against the conditions of the citizens and the responsibility of the African government in this issue. He also the first to be directly descended from the country of Africa. He was speaking not only to a nation, but to his own ancestors as well. He stressed the importance and the necessity for the development and further success of the country, and the only way this while be achieved is through the destruction of tyranny and corruption.
He repeated his slogan that was used throughout his Presidential Campaign and soon enough, Africans were chanting just as the Americans had chanted, right along with him, the crowd began to shout, “Yes You Can”. He expressed to the African Parliament the necessity to seize upon the idea and practice of peace, the benefits of democracy and the opportunity for prosperity. Barack Obama was the son of a single mother, and grew up on the south side of Chicago. He is a man who speaks with experience and the authority of one who did not squander opportunity nor turn his back on the possibility of what he may achieve should he seize those opportunities. He spoke to the government and the people of Africa, without sentimental drivel and with directness about the opportunities that have discarded in the modern world of Africa today. Corruption is the evidence that the human race is capable of committing acts of an incredibly evil nature. He implored them to consider how capable they are of committing to the promise of committing acts of great good.
