Mr. Joof,
Would you please explain why you think Nordam is wrong concerning the
case of Senegal...You just mentioned about being in Dakar, and about a
General's book.
My theory (and I believe Nordam acknowledges it too) is that
reconciliatory politics allows a conducive environment for a peaceful
democratic change of leadership. This is evident in most cases of
credible democratic practice in some African countries. In other
words, the political culture in a country determines to a great extend
the outcome of any electoral process.
