@calestous europe wasn't the issue here, havn't seen you come up with an example of an african leader, please@geoffreyyork@Mohammed222022 -
@willJens The view that every African country is trying to end term limits is prejudice@geoffreyyork@Mohammed222022 -
@calestous easier to find opposite examples, Laurent Gbagbo didn't even step down when lost nov 2010 election@geoffreyyork@Mohammed222022 -
@willJens Easy to point to exeptions but Africa is becoming more democratic@geoffreyyork@Mohammed222022pic.twitter.com/AtRgNFRMb9

@calestous You make some good points. Still, your map shows Africa more democratic since 1985; it ignores the backsliding of recent years. -
@geoffreyyork I think we are going to see backsliding but the general trends are in the direction of more democracy. -
@calestous trends since 1985, yes. But not the trends of the past 5 or 10 years. -
@geoffreyyork Democratic transition is not. Senegal is in fact trying to restore what they had.
