Democratic Process Between Africa and the West

The majority of nations have genuine constitutions and rule their territory in the name of the people for the people’s interest. The fake mostly depends on their military powers, killing, jailing, and torturing tactics. These are similar behaviors of all countries categorized as Western or African.

However, concerning the Democratic process, in most of Africa getting a registration, a legal document or a certificate could take more than a year. Nothing works according to the country’s election process law that was approved by the Parliament or House of the People’s Representatives. When you gathered, documented and sent five thousand, ten thousand or more signatures based on the electoral board law to establish a new political party, the government officers who have been assigned purposely in the electoral board office by high level leaders to make hard times, do not sit back and follow up on the entire movement of the unborn organization which applied to be born. They try to block the due date or to abort the healthy pregnancy process of the party which has been going in the perfect track to be a new peaceful competitive political group of the country.

First, a bad guy in a good office labeled half of the collected signatures as forged or fake. Second, the other bad guy who has a beautiful office room next to the other trouble maker in the electoral commission board would ask the organizers of the newly formed party to change their party’s name into like night, hell, hopeless, instead of powerful names like unity, freedom democratic, equality, social justice and light. Third, the party’s logo should be changed from brighter sunset, candle and industrial gear, stars and butterfly into scorpion, cobra, crocodile, flies and others. Fourth, those guys who hide under a big table pointed their figures at the party’s internal or organizational rules, regulations, agreements and structure that was approved and signed by the founders, members and supporters. These are pre-organization problems. How long could it take to eradicate this kind of same old, non-sense and negative activity from the countries which have beautiful democratic words on their national constitutions? To be truthful, nobody knows or has perfect answer. In contrast, in Western countries no body has the power to play childish games to make baseless allegations, to intimidate, to harass and to waste time on the well respected judiciary system in the name of the people who want to stay in power forever. Getting a license or a legal permit to run as powerful opposition party isn’t a big deal in Western countries.
