It is crazier in this part of the world. Democracy is a way with which a small number of people control and exploit others while giving them the illusion of power.
Here we keep recycling the same old leaders that have failed and are failing us. Been young almost automatically 'disqualify' anyone to hold or seek a political power. The youth can just compete, these old men have the monopoly of power, and they have amassed a lot of money at the expense of the masses. The more corrupt they are, the more popular they are. People literarily worship these people.
And they can go to any length to continue to be in power.
Liberation will start the day all the youth who are the majority of the population will have one voice and move in the same direction to oust these corrupt and greedy leaders who have passed the 'usefulness' but would not relinquish power. I don't vote, and I wish all youth in fact almost everyone to boycott election because we are always made to choose between two 'corrupt' aspirants. And you hear people and the youth arguing for or campaigning for that one they feel is a little bit less corrupt. In most cases, these people were bought.
