It will NEVER be well with them and all their children and extended families! They and their present generations and unborn generations are cursed forever and they will never know peace because their thieving hands are stained with the blood of the billions of African peoples who have suffered hardships during the regimes of these wicked men , thieves and robbers who call themselves " presidents". May they and their children all rot in hell ! Amen!
