Actually, Joseph Joof is also a member of the Executive Committee of the
African Center for Democracy and Human Rights Studies, the non-governmental
human rights organization.

If he accepts the position he would be compromising his image within the
human rights community.

I would not be surprised though if he does, for it is now a common sight to
see turn-coat human rights activists prowling the hallways of despotic
governments in Africa. You hear them uttering the cheap new rhetoric of
'serving the nation' to express their newly found 'patriotism'.

How long will Africa's intelligentsia turn against their own people on
behalf of despots and lunatics and to fatten their pockets?

Hamadi.
