Document Summary
Write a letter to a friend in which you explain to them the state in which africa is in explain the democracy what and why. Democracy is slowing sweeping the african continent after a long period of autocratic rulers, oppressive regimes and violent, lengthy wars. There are many reasons for the rise of democracy, such as international pressure, the eastern european effect (the end of communism) as well as internal pressure. I am of the opinion that all of these factors played a major role in setting the stage for democracy, yet internal pressure was the driving force in the end. Internal forces were no longer willing to except their decline and were finally willing to risk everything for it. In the past, africa seemed to long for democracy but the state, government and leadership wasn"t willing to permit it.
