Transparency International wants all African leaders who have voraciously stolen national wealth from their respective countries removed from power and prosecuted in international court of justice rather than waiting for them to first quit power.

Many African heads of states reportedly steal their countries resources and hide them on bank accounts and real estates in America and Europe.

Take an example of the former president of Zaire (now renamed the Democratic Republic of Congo), the late Mobutu Sese Sekou Wazabanga. The man reportedly stole millions of USA dollars and stashed it away in various European and USA bank accounts and left his country one of the poorest in the world. Transparence international now wants all forgotten riches of African presidents frozen until they are returned to Africans the way France, USA and England froze the ill-gotten wealth of the former Libyan leader, Col. Muammar Gadaffi.

Transparency International says that the time for African leaders to embezzle funds with impunity should be forgotten completely. This is the reason the French government is investigating three sitting African presidents for their ill-gotten wealth that have been squirreled in various parts of France.

The presidents in question are Ali Bongo of Gabon, Denis Sassou Nguesso of the Republic of Congo Brazzaville and Teodoro Obiang of Equatorial Guinea.  Many people in Uganda wish that France also investigates Ugandan leaders who are reported to have bank accounts in various cities across Europe and USA. Many families of African heads of states have been accused of having ill gotten wealth and showing staggering extravagancy.
