POLITICAL INSTABILITY in AFRICA
Lust of power coupled with the desire to make money by the leaders account for why political instability is rampant in Africa. Many of the so called leaders are very selfish and greedy to the extent that they always want to take over power at all cost and by whatever means.
Gullibility of the citizens also encourages political instability. While one cannot context the fact that a military leader upon the assumption of office by force would always want to cajole the masses with fake and unimaginable promises. However, when the masses cannot resit and challenge such coup detat, this gives credibility to the government.
Poor economy also encourages political instability. many of the african countries are sdo poor to the extent that their citizena would want a change of power anytime they are fed up with a partyicular government.
The consequence of political instability in Africa has been grave. It has resulted to underdevelopment of African countries, occassioned by high level poverty, low economic, social and technological development, unstable policy, teatment of the citizens as pariah among the comity of nations, unemployment , corruption among others.

Post a CommentNinety percent of the underlining causes of instability engulfing most of the African states is the making of the African states by themselves.but ten percent of these turmoil is due to overseas interest by world power who exercise their greedy power for resources in Africa to the extent of provoking poorest to become more poorest.
