Does Africa has its own (unique) definition of democracy?

Je, Afrika ina tafsiri yake binafsi (ya kipekee) ya neno demokrasia?

Nimeamua kuuliza hivi kwa maana kwamba, nimepokea ujumbe huu kutokwa kwa mtoto wa ndugu yangu analiyezaliwa na kuishi huko huko Ulaya (Uholanzi) na hajawaji kukanyaga huku Tanzania (Africa). Huyu dogo ana miaka 15, kama angekuwa huku Tanzania let's say labda angekuwa form II?

Just imagine wewe ndio Infantry Soldier, ungewezaje kumjibu huyu mtoto wa ndugu yako?

Magufuli amepeleka umeme kila kona ya Nchi. Pia, amepeleka barabara kila kona ya nchi hata kwa yale majimbo ya wapinzani.

Ninaweza kusema NDIO na HAPANA kwa wakati mmoja. Wazungu wasilazimishe utaratibu wa siasa zao ndio iwe desturi yetu.

Afrika tuna siasa zete zinazofanana na sisi, maisha pamoja na mazingira yetu.

Democracy ya mzungu ndio inaua wanawake na watoto huko Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya na Syria.

Umejibu kihalisia sana uko sawa

Ukikuta mtu anakupa jibu eti NDIYO au HAPANA jua huyo ni mbumbumbu mzungu wa reli, ambaye wala hajui anachokizungumza. Kuna mwalimu wangu mmoja akikuuliza swali na ukajibu ndiyo au hapana ilikuwa lazima akuwashe kelebu moja ya nguvu na kukuita lofa...

Theoretically the meaning or definition of DEMOCRACY is the same Worldwide. But practically each country has its own way of practice that democracy.

Like here in "Tasmania" tunasema "Wengi Wape" but in reality only few (Tume, Tiss) decides ni group gani la hao wengi wanaotakiwa kupewa.

There is Democracy as a System, and there is Democracy as a Value (A Principle of aspiration)
These two aren't the same thou we tend to mix their uses, but they aren't the same.
Democracy as a value is Universal and Intrinsic in forging a stable society.
And I think you speak of Democracy as a Value not a System.

So if the country has no democracy, it does not have a stable society?

Bwana Infantry Soldier,

Demokrasia kama nadharia na kanuni ya kiutawala husisitiza kwamba uhalali wa utawala wowote ule duniani ni lazima utoke kwa wananchi na siyo vinginevyo, pia uhalali wa utawala ni lazima ulenge katika kuwafanya hawa wananchi wapate maendeleo. Hapa unaweza ukawa na mfumo wa aina yoyote ile, aidha Ufalme (A Monarchy), Udini (A Theocracy) au Jamhuri (A Republic) muhimu kabisa ni kwamba lazima nguvu itoke kwa wananchi na siyo vinginevyo.

Watawala lazima watawale kwa matakwa ya wananchi kwa kufuata sheria, kanuni na taratibu zilizowekwa baina ya watawala na watawaliwa. Watawala hawatakiwi kufanya jambo lolote lile ambalo litaathiri mustakabali wa wananchi bila wananchi kuhusishwa. Wakijiamulia tu mambo, tena ambayo yanaumiza watawaliwa basi uhalali wao wa kutawala unapotea.

Wanafalsafa wa kale kama John Locke, Thomas Hobbes na Jean-Jacques Rousseau walizungumzia kitu kiitwacho The Social Contract ambapo walisema mataifa hutengenezwa kwa makubaliano baina ya watawala na watawaliwa. Pindi watawala wanavunja hayo makubaliano na kujiamulia kufanya jambo ambalo litawadhuru wananchi wao basi wanapoteza uhalali.

Nakubaliana na Mzee Nyerere kwamba kila sehemu ina Demokrasia yake, japo lazima tukubali kwamba tunaweza kutoa tafsiri mbalimbali za demokrasia na tusiwe na tafsiri moja kuhusu demokrasia. Lakini nachelea kusema kwamba lengo la demokrasia ni moja tu duniani kote, kwenye mifumo yote ya utawala nalo ni "KUHAKIKISHA NCHI INAWALIWA KWA KUFUATA MATAKWA YA WATAWALIWA"

Hivyo basi naweza kumaliza kwa lugha ya kiingereza kwa kusema haya yafuatayo "Democracy as a value does not have a single accepted Universal definition. We can only define Democracy well through a Purposive Approach of what democracy aims to achieve within a particular society. And that is Ensuring the power to rule is derived from the people for their benefit: Suffice to say it, such benefit should always be just, moral and equitable"

NB: Tusijitie moyo, katika hili wenzetu wazungu pamoja na Ubepari wao wametushinda mbali sana. Kitendo cha kutawala kwa kufuata miiko ya kisheria kwa manufaa ya wananchi ndicho kimewafanya wafike hapa walipo leo: Sisi Afrika hata Katiba kuheshimu ni shida, utasemaje kwamba tuna demokrasia yetu ???
