About Strongmen and Strong Institutions in Africa: Wade, Compaoré and Mugabe’s Administrations In The Light Of Mandela’s Achievements
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
One of the reasons for the almost permanent underdevelopment status of the African continent is the weakness of the political institutions in its different countries. The situation is also worsened by the bad management from its leaders, and its head of states mainly. Corruption and bad governance yield dictatorship and tyranny. In his lifetime, Nelson Mandela was praised and referred to as a good example of democrat, visionary and political leader to follow. He enjoyed respect and reverence by his peers all over the world and by his African fellows in particular. However, the latter fail to imitate him, rather preferring to maintainspacethemselves in power, while their populations ask for more democracy and significant change in the political management of the affairs of their respective countries. Presidents Compaoré, Wade and Mugabe’s political administrations and era are but a sample, yet a representative one of the counter examples which they constituted for the advancement of their respective countries and of the continent as a whole.
