Answer 1

Africa is being left out because of economy and lack of markets. Thus, African countries should improve their economy so that countries will be interested to have markets for their products.

Answer 2

Because Africa contains the Third World and it is one of the easiest places for power hungry idots to take over and control people who have nothing. Your government is so corrupt in ways we Americans cannot even imagine. Granted, many Americans complain about our government, but those are the people who don't understand reality. We have so many rights here we take it for granted.

Answer 3

A strong democracy depends on strong education...As an American, I really don't mind what kind of government you have, as long as it's representative....Remember, there will always be more people than bullets....Not a consolation when you're on the receiving end of the barrel, I admit.

Answer 4

there were no revolution taken place for the democaracy. people are divided by religion and cast and there are fighting for that.

still you guys have time, learn the history of the europe , america , indian and other decmoractic countries and try to accquare it.

Answer 5

It's called power.
