Daily assignment: African's Way of Life

Topic: African's Way of Life

Many people will not believe but, it is a fact that African countries and other poor countries have their original style of life characterized with corruption, crimes , violence, and dictatorship. There, people of the lower class will remain poor forever while those who own the power will continue dominating them.
Generally, there is not presidential elections in those countries. They just pretend holding elections to show to international organization that there is been elections. In fact all conditions are set in advance to make the former president to win. Some few decades ago," mono party " was the most wanted way of rolling many Africans countries until 1985 when the former Soviet Union collapsed. Therefore, most poor countries went on real strike to claim the real democracy and make the multiparty effective. It was not easy. many dictators did not want to understand. Violence dominated many countries civil wars occurred everywhere. Opposition parties leaders were massively arrested and some were brutalized or killed. Demonstrators intensified violence, some of them destroying their enemies' cars, houses and stores. Stilling became so common since the policemen and the other forces were humiliated by the demonstrators. Many people lost their life and hundred of houses were burnt. Finally the multiparty was adopted in some countries, but it was just a way to ease the tension because until today, nothing has changed. In Those countries, there is not elections. The dictators will still remain and died in power. At any time they can change the constitution like they want. Although many constitutions stipulate that a president of republic should not participate for more than three elections, the dictators presidents don't accept. They decide what they want and when they want since they have their corrupted army which protect them. Today, we discover that some of them are trying to being substituted by their sons by the time they died in power. During their regime, they rule the country like their private property. They do not ask anybody's opinion. The parliament is there only to approve what the president decided. He is the only person who can control the revenue of all natural resources like oil, wood, gold.....etc. He can still the country's money and build skyscrapers in foreign countries without any fear since army is his possession and is there to protect him. The constitution does not allow the president to stay more than forty days out of the country however, in my country, the president can take two months vacation in Europeans countries and nobody will protest. If you criticize, you will be treat as an "oppasant" and can even be kill.
Expecting that one day,the international community will be conscious and take direct actions against those dictators presidents, poor countries may not only died of hungry, general poverty, but also for civil wars because of the dictation of their presidents.
