Following on from Keguro…
A leadership that degrades its people is unfit to lead.
A leadership afraid of its people is unfit to lead.
A leadership indifferent to its people’s suffering is unfit to lead.
A leadership afraid of political critique is unfit to lead.
A leadership that betrays and dishonors the Constitution is unfit to lead.
A leadership that feeds on its people’s carcasses is unfit to lead.
A leadership that breaks its people’s bones is unfit to lead.
A leadership that eats while its people starve is unfit to lead.
A leadership that stands by and watches its police kill with impunity is unfit to lead.
A leadership that practices impunity is unfit to lead.
A leadership deaf and blind to its people’s needs is unfit to lead.
A leadership that stops peaceful protest is unfit to lead.
A leadership that curtails the freedoms of its people is unfit to lead.
A leadership that rides roughshod over its people’s rights is unfit to lead.
A leadership that lives in wealth while its people die in poverty is unfit to lead.
A leadership that doesn’t ensure equal rights for all is unfit to lead.
A leadership that allows and doesn’t combat corruption is unfit to lead.
