Democratic Dictatorship

A good starting point is to explain how a dictatorship can transform into a democracy.  Today democracy is a very popular political concept within states, in fact it is so popular that states are today giving lectures to their partners in particular regions, with each providing their analysis of how to to implement democracy in another country. Zimbabwe is one of the democratic countries whereby there are elections, freedom of choice and speech, meeting the criteria and values required in any democratic state. However, the country has been exploited for years and deprived from development. Having gained its independence in 1980, it  appointed  Robert Mugabe as leader of the country. As a result Mugabe was rewarded because his main endeavour was for for the  country’s democracy, plus his firm stance against white rule, and wanting his own people to have a say in political process. However probably the chair must be very comfortable to leave. The position today is that he has been in power for 31 years and has forgotten all his effort during the liberation of the country. However being in power for 31 years is a proof of his unfairness. Why? Well, due to the fact that the battle was done for one vote and, one person, as it is unjust not to give people a political choice. Here history repeats itself and today he himself keeps the control of country intimidate opponents and use military and other institutions to run his own election campaign and to passivate other ideologies. Democracy requires the participation of people but if it is a dictatorship type of rule, it then involves includes public institutions rather than people. Today Egypt and Libya has the same situation whereby it is the people who have started to awake and take action in favour of democracy. The recent uprising in  Egypt and Libya have  paved the way  for widescale  reforms welfare and modernisation, and rightfully so. Thus I think we should all wake and take positive action if we would like to see and implement change.
