@calestous @Hanou45168620 Similar to inner city US youth except gang leaders not military. What would you think of voting age of 16 in US? -
@nuclear94 Some US states already allow voting at 17. Africa has a different age structure though, with 50% of the population under 15. -
@calestous I was able to vote in a primary at 17 when I would be 18 by the general election. 50% under 15, wow. -
@nuclear94 The youth in Africa are also politically quite active and use social media quite effectively. The law has fallen back. -
@calestous not surprising. It often does fall way behind.
