"These authoritarian regimes share a common thread: they have no tolerance for dissent. Anybody who speaks out or raises questions is treated as if they were enemies of the state rather than a constructive part of the civic process."

"Another common characteristic in these repressive govts is their refusal to allow young people to develop politically & take on leadership roles. This despite the reality that Africa has the world’s largest population of young people: the median age is 19.7"
