The World’s Worst Leaders

By

Roger Behra

It is no secret that the world we live in is very large and complex, made up of many and distinct cultures, and led by so many different leaders. And if you follow world events or have visited other countries and talked to their citizens, you know and realize that all is not well in many cultures because of their leaders. Many leaders should not be leaders, and there are at least ten that are the very worst of the whole group. Some are frequently in the national news broadcasts, while many are not. In no specific order here are the ten leaders who are without any doubt the very worst of them all.

1. HU JINTAO-CHINA
2. SAYYID ALI KHAMENEI-IRAN
3. KING ABDULLAH-SAUDI ARABIA
4. KIM JONG-IL-NORTH COREA
5. PERVEZ MUSHARRAF-PAKISTAN
6. THAN SHWE-BURMA
7. OMAR AL-BASHIR-SUDAN
8. ROBERT MUGABE-ZIMBABWE
9. ISLAM KARIMOV-UZBEKISTAN
10. ISAYAS AFEWERKI-ERITREA

Of the 10 worst leaders and places to live, five leaders and places are the very worst of the worst. They are:

China- has ever-increasing censorship, is very hard on human-rights activists, forced abortions, very harsh limits on the practice of religion, controls all of the media, and there is very little justice to be found in China-only 1% of trials in China end with an innocent verdict, and all the various espionage on in the United States puts the U.S. at great risk.

Iran- has a very increasingly repressive dominance over the citizens, does public stoning and hangings, persecutes dissidents, sponsors much terrorism (especially in Iraq), and is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Saudi Arabia- leads the world in oppression against women, the primitive system of their justice sentences young teens to their death and engages in torture of their defendants, and the largest number of Al-Qaeda fighters comes from Saudi Arabia.

North Korea- is most isolated, has the most repressive regime in all the world, their citizens have no information from the outside world, they have a very cruel system of punishment where three generations of a family can be punished for one member’s crime, hundreds of thousands are in labor camps, the capture, torture, and jailing of citizens who try to flee to China or elsewhere, and they are suspected very strongly of providing nuclear materials and information to other countries, such as Iran and Syria.

Pakistan- all their citizens lost constitutional rights, their court system is no more, many thousands of dissidents have been arrested. Citizens live in mortal fear of their government, and all he fights with India stir unrest in the area.

In Burma, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Uzbekistan, and Eritrea the citizens live under a forced order of very repressive and undesirable conditions that run the gamut from human rights violations, protestor being killed to jail, many are detained, 7000 to 8000% inflation, food supplies are very poor, citizens are tortured, no freedom of the press, no freedom of travel, widespread disease, and citizens are forced to undergo psychiatric treatment. There is considerable sickness and death in these countries. It’s very unimaginable in this world of 2008.

All the people who live in cultures in the free world under quite ideal conditions in a peaceful and orderly system need to be very mindful of those who do not. Many millions are not mindful. Many lose their lives trying to achieve a better life. All of us living in the free parts of the world need to be “always” mindful of those who do not. And whenever possible give aid personally, financially, and/or prayerfully.
