A Link Not In Africa
Summing the Article
The rulingship of the country in Africa has been in political disarray, and the African Union very much wants the country to create a more democratic leadership. The current leader of Cote D'ivoire would very much want to not create a democratic leadership, but instead keep his power and not lend it to the new elected official. Because of this, Cote D'ivoire has been denied activity within the African Union until the new leader takes position.
My Opinionated Opinion
Like all power-hungry individuals, they would love to hold as much control as possible. Such is what is happening here. Of course, with the democracy now in place, he power of President is at hand; the selfish leader is just another crazy person in dire need of control, and he can't go along with just a couple terms. Too bad for him.
What if I said that this article relates to Culture?
Political standpoint is a great component of culture. Way back when, at this very location, power-hungry tribes fought each other for control. Apparently now, they are inherently trying to keep control for themselves, and changing to a new governing leadership is proving a challenge for this country in Africa.
