"THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY IS BLEAK IN MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES"

We Africans love to deceive ourselves in our western type of democratic governance. We suppress opposition parties. We do not believe in the principle of separation of powers as well as checks and balances. We conduct and sanction fraudulent elections as the authentic elections. We put provisions in our constitution that allow our public officials to live above the laws of our nations. We muzzle the press, judiciary and free speech thinking that our democracies have any bright future under those anti- democratic practices and the violation of the rule of law. The recent political development in Burkina Faso that removed the 27 years dictatorship of Blaise Campaore from power is a direct product of our pseudo-democracy. Military will always come back to power in Africa until the day that our democracies in Africa are truly people representative in all ramifications ‪#‎TheFutureOfDemocracyInAfrica‬
