@mohd_ramzi WE set our own bar. African’s aren’t daft. The support we need is in making our instruments work like they should @ForeignPolicy
@mohd_ramzi Instead what I see are new programs/’coalitions of the willing’ designed to neuter indigenous processes @ForeignPolicy
@mohd_ramzi If the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance is ratified & enforced we’d be on a good path. @ForeignPolicy
@mohd_ramzi I see little recognition by the West of Africa’s progressive instruments and deliberate efforts to support them. @ForeignPolicy
@mohd_ramzi Should be a co-created context-sensitive process in mutual respect not an imposed paternalistic one. @ForeignPolicy
@mohd_ramzi Doesn’t mean it isn’t nonsense. It just means we all put too much energy in keeping it alive. @ForeignPolicy
This notion of the West’s role as setting and policing the democracy bar for the rest is neocolonial nonsense. @ForeignPolicy
