    Africa has seen its fair share of controversy politically. This is apparent from the readings we discussed in class: They Poured Fire on us from the Sky, A Grain of Wheat, and Half of a Yellow Sun. In each of these books, the author or authors tie in ways politics or government itself impacted the continent of Africa. The countries I chose to compare with these books are two that experienced dramatic change, whether that be from rebellion from nationals, a new religion trying to make its presence known, or corruption within the political system itself. Through the 20th and 21st centuries Egypt and Angola experienced these changes and much more.…

    African Genocides

    • 8 Pages

    During the 1960’s, most African countries previously held by the Europeans were released from colonial rule. The Europeans didn’t put in place any government or infrastructure before they relinquished control. This vacuum of power led to an influx of totalitarian regimes and dictatorships followed by a pandemic of poverty across the continent.

In the past half century, some of the Soviet aligned dictators and hierarchies have been toppled in violent civil wars and replaced by democratic elections. However this new concept of African “democracy” has not brought peace and prosperity with…

That is an example of censorship. Sure, censorship can be used for great things, especially if you have children running around. However, there have been times throughout our world’s history that censorship has been abused and used for the wrong reasons. Censorship should be eliminated due to the abuse…
