The speech which President Barack Obama gave today could, mutatis mutandis, be applied to Africa. Although he was talking about North Africa and the Middle East and never once mentioned the rest of Africa, the speech also applies to Africa. All the talk about democracy being more than just elections but also about the building of democratic institutions, the cancer of corruption, the return of stolen money, the importance of strong economies to the development of democracy, etc. all applied to the rest of Africa. If you have time, watch the speech below and see how it applies to Africa.
