Like GMB, big difference between DICTATORSHIPS of the past & today - “today’s dictators are less brutal & more idolized (BMC/Buharists)

Like GMB, big difference between DICTATORSHIPS of the past & today - “today’s dictators are less brutal & more idolized (BMC/Buharists)
They have started to mimic democracies, they hold elections,they have political parties, they have judiciaries
But they have figured out clever ways to always ensure they never lose power!”
After just 2 yrs in power, GMB’s rule takes hold & the hopes of those who dared to dream CHANGED, their hopes deflated! Despite health concerns, GMB put himself forward in the 2019 general elections.

Dictators never give up power willingly, there is not usually a peaceful ending or resolution to dictatorships but the fear that they are going to toppled by a REVOLUTION, is sufficient to force them to use more & more brutality the closer they get to their REGIME demise!
Then off goes the protests & subsequent crackdowns on Shiites, RevolutionNow, IPOP
All these over GMB’s inefficiencies to the crippling economy, freedom of expression, religion & marginalization
Over the years, GMB have learned how to use the ‘fear factor’ to control the masses

Whether it’s controlling the media thru how he controls the flow of information. Thru rice distribution at the borders & in rural areas - “if you don’t support APC, customs seizes your rice, period!”
Whatever opposition did, it was always going to lead to a predetermined outcome

If opposition participated in the election, GMB was going to claim victory! And if they withdrew from the election, he was also going to claim victory! In the lead up to the 2019 general elections, GMB refused to sign an all important “electoral amendment bill”,
that could have ensured a free & credible elections.
The Feb 2019 elections was a meaningless exercise, it fell short of global standards. After the elections, GMB faced a restless dissents, so he used the state machinery to silence perceived enemies of the state! Journalists,

opposition members, civil societies, even human rights organizations were not spared!
Unsurprisingly, GMB has enjoyed a cult follower-ship of unintelligent wise men & women disguised as patriots! In their eyes, “he is infallible, his decisions no matter how bad, is good enough!”

Sometimes dictatorships are able to survive even after the regime
Bcos they groom their successors. Very often, a clan member, there’s rumor GMB, the APC might want to retain power in the North!
GMB’s political appointments skewed to the North already hints to this assumption!

For GMB, the coming months will tell if there’s a quick fix for these economic failures, respect for the rule of law, general insecurity & tyranny or a final fatal folly.
Let us hope the economic & political situation will stabilize and truly CHANGE in this next three years!
