The Zimbabwe President is Expected To "Run The Country From the Grave"
According to AllAfrica, The president of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, 93, is intent on remaining in political power. Mugabe has been in power since the 1980's and his cabinet is full of loyal people. Also his wife recently stated that she would like him to run the office from the "grave."
The present of the Democracy recently stated that, "he is not a student of the democratic process." Further proving that in some locations the current president does have some form of opposition, however truly making their voices heard in a way that matters during the coming election year, may prove to be difficult.
Despite the notion that he has been accused of stealing elections, brutalizing the electorate, the only true threat that could stop him from being re elected his his old age.
In a variety of African countries, there are a vast amount of people who are in charge that do exhibit some form of political corruption. For example, The king of Swaziland is a man of extreme wealth and he exhibits this through his large home and the objects he buys himself, while the people in that country are living in poverty.
There have been a series of struggles towards getting people to vote and ensuring that the people elected truly do follow ethical procedures and do not entirely monopolize the power and money that the country has.
This further begs the question that many people are questioning around the world about the strength of democracy. Many people, in light of recent elections in the United States as well as in England and a variety of other countries, have questioned the pottery of the democratic process in that it may not correctly represent the entire population and does have some fault because the people in power do in fact have all of the power.
While problems in forgone countries may seem unrelated in terms of political power, ultimately the world appears to be connected through politics and political strife beyond the UN and nation issues. The world is clearly being brought together and in future years could question the true power of democracy and the world attempt to make the process the status quo. Is it truly a good process or is it only as good as the people who enforce it?
