The Movement Toward Democracy in Africa

The workshops were convened against the background of what many observers have called the ''second wave of liberation in Africa.'' Authoritarian regimes are being challenged by individuals and movements in search of more democratic forms of governance. Africans in many countries are showing remarkable persistence in forcing their leaders to comply with popular demands for political pluralism to replace the common one-party regimes. Calls for open and democratic governance, characterized by popular participation, competitive elections, and free flow of information can be heard in many African countries.

This new disposition toward democratization in Africa is a consequence of pressures both internal and external to African societies. To be sure, the continent's declining economic fortunes have made people more skeptical and critical of their governments, with new African thinking prompting individuals to move beyond old taboos. Demands from within African countries are pressing leaders to deliver on the promises of economic growth and prosperity they made in order to encourage the acceptance of structural adjustment policies supported by international financial institutions. The new insistence by external aid donors and creditors on good governance also has provided a window of opportunity for African democrats to push for transparency and accountability in their countries. Likewise, the worldwide democratic revolution and its corresponding summons to protect and promote individual human rights have contributed to generating protests

Give examples of people and places impacted by the desire for mineral wealth, economic opportunities, and religious refuge on we
Delvig [45]

Taking into account the statement above: "Give examples of people and places impacted by the desire for mineral wealth, economic opportunities, and religious refuge on westward migration in the early 19th century"

The answer is: The California Gold Rush and other rushes in Nevada, Colorado, and the Dakota. Thousands of men towards the West in search of mineral wealth resulted in a large rush of migration. The irish and German immigrants migrated West in search of cheap, fertile farmland that they could establish homesteads on and work to make a steady living. Also, the Irish also sought religious freedom, as they faced a lot of persecution due to their Roman Catholic faith. In addition, many pioneer families moved west to start homesteads and develop rural communities with schools in areas such as California and Oregon.

Hope this helps.

How did early Muslims treat Jews and Christians
yawa3891 [41]
They overthrew their countries in the name of Allah. Atheists, or those the Qur'an calls Infidels had to convert to Islam and if they resisted, they were killed. 
<span>For Christians and Jews, well they occupied their nations and were forced to pay the Jizya, that is a tax. With it they built the Mosque of Omar that is in Jerusalem today. </span>
<span>Non-Muslims often had to dress in common clothes and were prohibited from riding horses--a reminder of their subjection. </span>
<span>And when they paid their tax, they must approach the collector with their faces down, not looking in his eyes. Again, to remind them they were inferior and in subjection. Then the collector would slap them in the face before taking their money. </span>
<span>In most conquered countries, the Christians usually converted after a couple generations. Then they did not have to pay the tax.  Hope this helped
