President Brice Oligui Nguema of Gabon has embarrassed himself and his country. Less than a day ago, he was seen in the United States wearing a red campaign hat signed by Donald Trump. That hat carried the slogan “Make America Great Again.” One would think he had just won a prize. He showed the world just how disconnected he is from the struggles of his own people.

It is hard to understand how an African head of state can come back from a foreign trip more excited about another country’s politics than the problems at home. Wearing that cap, he looked more like a servant trying to please a master than a leader standing for his people. It is sad, really. There is nothing clever or proud about it.
This kind of behaviour reminds us why liberation fell short in Africa. These leaders do not rise from the will of the people. They are chosen by outside interests, and their actions often reflect that. You can see it clearly in moments like this.
President Nguema should have returned home with something meaningful to say, or even a plan for his people. Instead, he brought back a hat and a photo opportunity. That says a it all, just another western puppet, aptly dubbed a useful idiot.
