LESSONS FROM MALI
Against the odds of rigged and contestations of results that
mare elections in this part of the world, having left behind a cloud of
uncertainty in the whole process. Malians and their political establishment have
certainly showed maturity. Am happy they have set an example which other politicians
within the continent should know ‘there is life after any/every election’ a missing
link. This is because an entire country shouldn’t be meant to stand still while
there are works to be done and individuals show off their egocentric displaced
political ambition of ruling-politics of selfishness lacking selflessness.
Opposition knew what was at stake I believe-a country that
needs an urgent attention, to which they are required to contribute to no
matter how little a quota they are given, of course coming from the recently
held war to regain parts of the country from extremism. This is worthy of
emulation.
Furthermore, the understanding of democratization as an ongoing
infinite process conditioned by forces at play and in it a positive
progressivism of which election is just one part in such transition. This meant
that government and governance should be owned by the governed to give it the
desired outcome. Democracy maybe marred by systematism and statisfactrism of
donor syndrome as opposed to inclusivity which in most countries are of obvious certainty.
Finally, it is important that efforts are made
to enhance the social/economic wellbeing of the country and the people of Mali
to see the benefits of the system of which they agreed to and voted to
maintain.
