Part 2 of our Africa mini-series looks at the regional democratic decline of West Africa and its causes, including an ageing crop of leaders, a subtle change to what the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) mission and goals are and the influence of Beijing through loans. The report also looks the regional exception, Ghana, and explores whether the country bucks the trend of those around it or is also seeing a backwards slide.
We look at the United States where Congress is set to confirm President-elect Biden’s victory. Additionally, the Georgia run-off elections is set to see two Democrat senators elected to the Capitol, shifting the Senate’s majority in favour of the Democrats . Additionally, on Tuesday 5 January, Kenosha County prosecutors announced that the officers involved in the shooting of Jacob Blake in August 2020 will not be charged. As a result of these three events, there is a high likelihood of unrest in the coming hours and days.
This is our first report in a miniseries exploring some of the problems West Africa faces as it grapples with increasing problems in democracy and security.
