So many African leaders tend to be so greedy for power. This is why we have so many wars in Africa. When these leaders come in to office, mainly the presidents, they tend to make the people they fought with happy, by giving them ministerial offices. Some of these people can fight but are not good leaders so they end up doing things the wrong way. At the end of the day, the current president tries to protect his people after they have done wrong things, like taking bribes. Yeah, sometimes this is because of the pressure on their backs from these people, their friends who they fought with.
At the end of the day, what started as a small problem tends to go out of hand, because more and more wrong things are done by the government. At this point the president is even scared to have free and fair elections, because they are not sure if they still have support in the public. I feel even rigging of elections is an abuse of human rights, because at the end you are forcing people to have a president who is not of their choice. Don't you think so too?
Sometimes the president is scared to leave office, because they fear facing justice for the crimes they did. To protect them selves, they instill fear in the minds and hearts of their people, by imprisoning opposition leaders even when there is no need actually.
Brutality is also used on the people, mainly in the opposition which at the end of the day makes the citizens develop so much fear, as they look at the staggering economy, and fear of losing their family when they are killed or imprisoned in demonstrations.
In the above piece, you find there are over 5 types/ ways through which Human Rights are abused.
So, who is going to make a difference? Difference is going to be made by you and me.
You are a leader in your family, possibly. You have to start with the young people, show them how bad overstay in power can be, show them how bad bribes can be. give them live examples, for example if a man stays in their parents' home, 10 years after school the chances are such a person can never be successful, so same applies to presidency. If a president stays more than ten years in power, chances are, we shall not develop.
Educate the African young people for a better tomorrow.
It starts with you and I.
God bless Africa.
