Why zimbabwe cannot be called as a democratic country?
Answers
Explanation:
Zimbabwe attained independence in 1980 since then the country has been ruled by z a n u- p f party and its leather Robert mugabe has been ruling the country since Independence. election have been held regularly and always won by the party. president mugabe is popular but also uses unfair practices in elections. the changes have been made in the constitution several times to increase the powers of the leader and make him less accountable. opposition party workers are harassed and their meeting disrupted. public protest and demonstrations against the government are declared illegal. media is fully controlled by the government and gives only the ruling parties version and independent newspapers are harassed for writing anything against the ruling party.the example of Zimbabwe shows that the popular approval of the rulers is necessary in a democracy but it sufficient. therefore Zimbabwe can't be called a democratic country.
