Sepp
Blatter got a new term as president of FIFA. His victory made me recall a comment
another life leader shared with me over a decade ago. I was at the end of my
assignment in Zimbabwe, ready to go to West Africa. I had then a final meeting
with President Robert Mugabe to take leave from him and his country, after four
years of work and many encounters. As we reviewed the African scene, as it was
at the time, he said – I can´t remember whom he was referring to – that an
incumbent president that loses the elections has to be a fool.
Now,
Blatter has shown that he can be accused of many things but that nobody is in a
position to say he is a fool.
