African democracy Rating the economist 2010

[Suldaanka]

It is labelled as flawed democracy because of the repeated delay in holding the election on time. I don't blame the Daahir Rayaale regime for the delay because there was some serious issues that needed to be resolved before a fair, free and transparent elections takes place.

 

I am sure in the next revision of this map, Somaliland will be a FULL Fledged democracy.

So all of the others you are concerned the world "flawed" ..... ?? ,,, mise dee ceesaantii baa duushay niyow naga daayoo ,,,

[Thankful]

Suldaanka, thanks for your opinion! That makes sense.

Thankful the term flawed democracy is really bothering you right, and the term failed Somalia is not bothering you at all

[Thankful]

Xaaji, what the economists says means little to me. I understand the underlining reason why African states are under so much trouble. It has to do with what has happened over the last few hundred years. From slavery, colonialism, the cold war and so on.

 

You are the one that posted this report, and others were saying good things, like JB who said we are here to impress, or Libaahe and even you. All I pointed out was that this article says your democracy is flawed! I dont see what you are so please with and how this article is positive to you! Unless you agree it is flawed!

[Thankful]

Lol, I think this is a point where you know that this article states something that you dont agree with. It's like a double edge sword it calls Somalia a failed state (which you like), but then it regards your democracy as flawed (which you do not like).

 

I have absolutely no concern with what the economists says about your democracy in the triangle or other parts of Africa. I am only curious as to why Xaaji, JB, Libaahe, Suldaanka, were so pleased with the article, when it actually labels your democracy in a negative light!

 

So lets make it clear that I was only interested in why there were people from NW Somalia expressing happiness with the article. However if they agree that it is flawed, then I understand their pleasure and that maybe they are happy with the progress. But if they don't agree it is flawed, then why would they comment so highly about it???

Thankful Somaliland its self-went through all those difficulties colonialism Cold war the struggle of re-establishing the state of Somaliland in 1991.The real democratisation of the country started from 2001, after the referendum . A flawed democracy implies in a way that there is somewhere around globe a flawless democracy as there is somewhere in the world an undamaged culture a traditional cultural strong united group who have their ups and downs , or are we just that unique or perhaps we are Just hard working Somalilanders. While our neighbours are totally failures when it comes to Democracy.
