The bitter reality in which we find ourselves is the result of this last black decade which brought to the head of the country incompetents and profiteers, some of whom are, quite simply, thieves and outlaws (the cases presented in court prove it).
The few leaders who have tried to bring something to their homeland have been marginalized and left out. This is what led to this total bankruptcy. Today, this political class must be thrown into the dustbin. Because it was she who led us to this catastrophe. Moreover, one would never have imagined reaching such a degree of deprivation. The citizen can no longer find anything. No oil, no sugar, no water, no other basic products. And when he finds them, it is with difficulty or at exorbitant prices”; that’s how the newspaper began its article.
