Time to be realists. He was a total dark horse with a limited chance to win. It is sad that this forum was sort of duped into such strong support. His positions are what we all want to hear but in all reality not his countrymen.

It will be ok. There are other ways to serve the people of Mali!

So sad to hear this disappointing news. I was hoping the people of Mali will see beyond the mass of corruption and elect a leader who genuinely care for the people. Looks much like the last election we had here in our own country. The better candidate did not win because he was deliberately and viciously slandered, smeared, and demonized into defeat.

I was born in Cameroon from French parents, and raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saintsfrom early childhood. Let's face it: nothing short of a miracle could have propelled Yeah to the Presidency of his country in one single shot, especially as a Christian candidate planning to put an end to all corruption in his country.
Yeah's failed candidacy may instead be considered as a stepping stone to future successes, especially if things do not improve under the new Presidency -- of course as long as remaining a political activist in Mali does not endanger Yeah's safety and that of his family!
