YOU GOT IT WRONG MR. SECRETARY-GENERAL: TYRANNY IS THE GREATEST PEACETIME CHALLENGE IN UN HISTORY

Dear Mr. Secretary-General,

You got it wrong this time. Diseases have come and gone in human history, some on their own while others successfully tackled by bright scientists. However, the world has failed to apply the basic tool to eradicate tyranny, especially in Africa: quarantine those mad men I have often degraded as the "mad basenjis of Africa" or "little devils in human shape" or "little devils coated in human skin" who continue to violate human rights and pose a serious and constant threat to the mental health, public health, and public safety of hundreds of millions of Africans. From Kigali, Kampala, etc., those mad basenjis are not ready to relinquish power and there's a reason behind it: they fear the International Criminal Court.  

While it's important for the UN to focus on that disease, the United Nations must invest resources to wipe out tyranny in Africa. Steps may include member-nations boycotting speeches by African dictators, limiting access to international funds for countries run by dictators, and promoting democracy, the rule of law, and human rights.

Again and again, tyranny has proven to be the greatest challenge in human history. Let's give scientists the means they need and let's focus on the real threat to human race: tyranny.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE OTHER EBOLA: THE EBOLA OF TYRANNY IN AFRICA

The Ebola of dictatorship has ravaged Africa for over 50 years, from the time Africans gained independence. That Ebola has killed millions over the years. Just think of more than 5,000,000 Congolese who died of preventable diseases since the two unnameable little devils in human shape who rule over Rwanda and Uganda sent troops to loot the Congo and rape its women. No question: that Ebola is both deadlier and scarier. I have spent several years telling the world that dictators are a real threat to world security and that humanity must design comprehensive strategies  to eradicate all forms of tyranny. 

The other Ebola has also mutated since the time of Idi Amin Dada, Habyarimana, Mobutu, etc. Dictators have shed their skins and have become dictocrats, meaning dictators fraudulently elected through pseudo-democracy. They still represent a threat to public safety, public health, and mental health of hundreds of millions of Africans who've been reduced to silence, unable to speak up their mind to preserve their lives, unable to live decent lives. They change their countries' constitutions to remain on power and escape trial before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for all the crimes they have committed. 

It is time to help Africans get rid of the other Ebola, the Ebola of dictatorship and corruption. That virus is a serious threat  to lives of millions of Africans, who, like rest of the world, long for dignity and respect for human lives.
