Unterstützung von Demokratie in Afrika

By Phil Bainbridge

July 18, 2024 - Demokratie in Afrika wird unterminiert durch Militärputsche, Korruption und ein Mangel an Veranwortung des Präsidenten, wie eine neue Umfrage in 39 Ländern zeigt,und die 75% der Bevölkerung des Kontinents repräsentiert

The surveys found Africans are less satisfied with the way democracy works in their countries since the survey was first carried out from 2011/13, attributed by Afrobarometer to declining election quality, increased levels of corruption and failure by the leadership to promote the rule of law and other changes in political conditions.

However, two-thirds of Africans say they prefer democracy to any other system of government, and still have a stronger preference for democratic governance than many parts of the world, according to a report by Afrobarometer.

Large majorities also rejected one-man rule, one-party rule, and military rule, and support for presidential term limits remains strong despite the leaders of at least nine countries violating them. Africa has also experienced eight military coups since 2020, after a relative decline since the 1990’s, most recently in Gabon, including two each in Burkina Faso and Mali.
