@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.
