Under The Shadow of The Almighty.T....................................18

Ignorancy is evil for it compromises dictatorship and tyranny.

Little wonder that most dictators develop several strategies in keeping a people bond in ignorancy.

Because an ignorant society helps dictatorship to thrive immensely.

In the fight against dictatorship and tyranny , young Africans should understand that dictatorship and tyranny are a spirit.

And spiritually forces are many times than not overcome in the spirit realm.

Thus there is a need for there to be a group of spiritual warriors skilled and gifted in the art of spiritual warfare.

This is imperative because the first victory against dictatorship and tyranny can only take place on a spiritual plane.

It's time to wage war against dictatorship and tyranny in the spirit of God. The scripture stipulates in 2 Chronicles 7:14 " if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways , then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

The healing of the land in the aforementioned scriptural dross denotes the deliverance of a nation from dictatorship and tyranny.

In addition the fight against dictatorship and tyranny by young Africans should be one that is underpinned by love .

Love is the most powerful of all entities.

For without love nothing can be accomplished.

Young Africans need to love others and self as much as the motherland.

The term Africa literally means the first of her kind.

Thus every African young and old should be self determined and self confident because we are a unique and blessed group of people.

Every young African should understand that they ought to stand up and be counted in the fight for the liberation of sun-kissed mother Africa.

undoubtedly the liberation of Africa from dictatorship will come however it will come faster when young Africa stands up , rises up and begins to act against the dictatorship and tyranny of the day.

Free speech irritates the tyrant and every dictator; thats why those who operate in the authority of dictatorship and tyrant always try to crush free speech.

As a matter of fact there men who posit themselves as servants of the most high God that have forsaken the way of God inorder to alignment themselves up with the dictstorship simply because the dictatorship has offered them material wealth.

Somaliland ; A Beacon of Hope in the Democratization of Africa

ith nearly 80 arising fromW % p of all the proble olitically related ms in Africa conflicts.

conflicts that are essentially fuelled by political regimes that are undemocratic.

Yet they refuse to make a transition from authoritarian proclivities to a democratic agenda.

Being enshrouded in political turmoil all the time the Hope of Africa now than ever before seems to be the democratic achievements of Somaliland.

Undeniably the best democratic and most successful democratic territory in present day Africa, Somaliland attained her independence from the British on the 26th of June 1960.

Upon receiving congratulatory notes from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11, and Christian Herter, the then US Secretary of state. Somalia United to create the Somali Republic and after the dissolution of the union every state returned to it's original name which is Somaliland and Somalia.

It was on 18th May 1991 that Somaliland declared her independence from Somalia after 30yrs old struggle .

And it was from that time that Somaliland embarked on a democratic journey that has since become a success story worth emulating by other bigger and richer African States.

All the more demonstrating that a nation does not have to be bigger geographically nor economically can achieve democratic success.

It's strange and also shocking to realize that's it's only 7 countries out of 49 countries in Africa that are considered 'free'.
