Friday, 10 October 2014

Rome (Agenzia Fides) - "Let us turn over a new leaf, for democratic change in Africa" is the title of the campaign promoted by associations of African and European civil society so that in sub-Saharan Africa the democratic rule of turnover to power is respected. "Together, we citizens of Africa and Europe and other continents, intellectuals, artists, activists, journalists, religious leaders, associations, unions, let us unite our forces and create the conditions for a true democracy in Africa. The future of the continent is at stake", reads the manifesto of the campaign, sent to Fides Agency.
In the document the many violations of the constitution are emphasized: life presidency, the transition of presidential power from father to son, or the conferment of a third term. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 10/10/2014)
