AFRICANS GROWING DISILLUSIONED WITH DEMOCRACY

Africans are increasingly disillusioned with democracy due to its failure to deliver jobs, economic development, and security, threatening its endurance on the continent. This emerges as the top story of 2025, highlighting widespread governance challenges amid rising coups, weakened institutions, and persistent conflicts. Economic vulnerabilities from high debt, trade imbalances, and external shocks like Middle East conflicts exacerbate the crisis, deepening public frustration. The trend underscores urgent needs for resilient governance, diversified economies, and regional integration to restore stability and growth.
