Another Sub-Saharan going "back to the bush." Democracy Gets Mugged STRATEGY PAGE April 19, 2007: The government is using the police and army to assist political gangs that are attacking opposition campaigning efforts. Last weekends local elections were often invalid because of the intervention of the more powerful government backed gangs. This weekends presidential elections appear to be headed in the same direction. If that is the case, the country will have un-elected government at the state and national level. That, plus the usual corruption, could be enough to trigger the long feared civil war. Then again, Nigerian politics has evolved into a "survival of the fittest" contest, and that would mean just another African dictatorship. This is far more common than civil war in Africa. strategypage.com
