In domestic environments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e severely degraded by abuse of power and rebellion, what kind of existence do African leaders give to their people? Can they\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e proclaim rights for their citizens in international instruments but behave in ways that are diametrically opposite? What\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e future has democracy when the last election was a rogue one and the incumbent regime the beneficiary? Sierra Leone, whose\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e civil conflict enters its tenth year in March 2001, carries the unenviable status of playing host to the world's largest\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e peacekeeping force.

What can be done to avoid similar conflicts in the world in general and Africa in particular?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e These are some of the key issues discussed by Dr Abass Bundu in his book, Democracy by Force?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal-Publishers.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040759824624,"sku":"9781581126976","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781581126976_p0.jpg?v=1763799295","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781581126976","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
