Africa is not failing in democracy because Africans do not want democracy. The winning of an election and acquisition of office are not the nurturing of democracy. In the task of nurturing democracy and for this habit of vision, a most important gathering took place a few weeks ago in Arusha, Tanzania. The retreat was followed by the 2nd African Drive for Democracy Conference involving nearly 200 youth from all over the continent. These exceptional enriching personal exchanges are a measure of the commitment of African leaders to nurturing democracy.
