Most challenging countries hardly identify their rights because of misplacement of priorities between the leaders and the people. Most African nations feels the leaders control their rights of the citizens and privacy that's why the citizens actions and protest are not highly recognized on the events of urgency. Do you think the leaders has right over the lives of the common citizens or the citizens determined the controls checks and balance of the leaders?
Nobody will go against what we have said or we don't care about their rascality that's the statement of most Africans leaders. They can only protest and it doesn't move our decision, our purpose is to grow the falling economy. Leaders with such mindset has nothing to offer citizens than authoritative ruling or autocrat.. if we are under such nations as citizens what do we do to be heard?
The government is supposed to be made by the people, but in many places, that idea has been turned upside down. The leaders start to see themselves as the owners of the country instead of servants of the people. Power belongs to the citizens. Leaders are just temporary occupants of their positions. If the people stay silent, they lose their voice forever. The only way to be heard is to speak up collectively, through peaceful protests, active participation in elections and holding leaders accountable. Change doesn't come by staying quiet. It comes when the people realize that the government works for them, not the other way around.
