Democracy under threat on the African continent?

Afrika.no

This episode of Afripod is a conversation with student, human rights activist, and former leader of the Zimbabwe National Students Union (ZINASU), Boris Tadiwanashe Muguti, on the outlook for democracy on the African continent.

We discuss the difficult situation for democracy and human rights in Zimbabwe, but also various challenges to democracy in the broader regional context, and how this relates to global trends of democratic backsliding. We also reflect on opportunities for positive democratic development on the continent.
