How will the 2022 elections in Africa change the course of the region's future?

 Elections this year in African countries will decide a lot of things for the region as well as its bond with the rest of the world. 

Africa is known to possess a lot of resources but lacks when it comes to transformations of these resources and making them available or useful to its people in a way that they can actually be benefited. This is exactly what the topic of these elections will most likely be.

The election meant for this year will be unlike any other region as the continent witnessed all things negative from coups to conflicts to infighting and derailments of democratic processes. The whole scenario currently taking place in the country has taken things way back to the starting time. 

Libya, Somalia, Mali, Guinea, and Chad are all tentatively scheduled to hold elections, and coincidentally all these nations are also the ones where the elections have already been postponed due to one or the other reason. 

There are other countries that are experiencing serious conflicts and due to this, elections have been postponed. 

Guinea, Kenya, Angola, and Somaliland are these countries. A report stresses, “Given the legitimizing authority that a credible electoral process can bring elections will bring significant change in the order of the dynamic in Africa.”

Libya is among the most controversial nations at the moment as it has been notoriously postponing elections. It was first scheduled to conduct elections on January 23 and then legislative elections on February 15 after it was postponed from December 24,2021. However, things are once again not in order after a disturbance in the region. 

Hence this year is going to be extremely crucial for the region as it will be determining how the world order will react to the African population and their problems.
