« The electoral process in Africa is severely tested with the guardianship of the body responsible for organizing the elections, the rigging of the elections once they organized ballot stuffing, falsification of Minutes, manipulation of voter lists, the mismanagement of electoral maps, the use of state resources, the militarization of the state media, intimidation of opponents. With the wave of democratization hitherto marked by the one-party political systems, pluralism has won all his titles of nobility and universal value. And pluralistic elections have become a reality punctuated political life on the African continent. The elections in 2015 and 2016 fall accidentally in a context of violence. The African Diaspora face the challenges of the electoral process of the continent. In fact, the resurgence of conflicts generated by violent protests of the election results »

"For many years, football matches have been played the most competitive in Africa. For months, meetings provoked endless debates. The early 90s marked a break with the advent of multiparty elections. Soon, electoral competition became the most popular sport. And as the experts agree to say, just like football matches, some elections deserve to be applauded, others are tragic parodies, but most are between these two extremes. Twenty years after the start of the era of multiparty elections in Africa, while 60 elections (presidential, legislative and local) are included in this calendar year, these three trends persist. Last March, Benin experienced its fifth wave of national elections since 1991. The current president, Yayi Boni, won a second term and his party retained a majority in parliament. Despite allegations of fraud launched by some leaders of the opposition, observers say the poll was fair.Just as in Ghana, Mali, Senegal, Mauritius, Botswana and South Africa, elections in t

« Le processus électoral en Afrique est mis à rude épreuve avec la mise sous tutelle de l’organe chargé d’organiser les élections, le trucage des élections une fois celles-ci organisées, le bourrage des urnes, la falsification des Procès-verbaux, la manipulation des listes électorales, la mauvaise gestion des cartes électorales, l’utilisation des moyens de l’Etat, la caporalisation des médias d’Etat, l’intimidation des opposants. Avec la vague de démocratisation des systèmes politiques jusqu’alors marqués par le monopartisme, le pluralisme a conquis tous ses titres de noblesse et de valeur universelle. Et les élections pluralistes sont devenues une réalité ponctuant la vie politique sur le continent africain. Les échéances électorales de 2015 et 2016 s’inscrivent malencontreusement dans un contexte de violence. La diaspora africaine face aux enjeux du processus électoral du continent. De fait, la résurgence des conflits générés par des contestations violentes des résultats des élections »

" Longtemps, les matches de football ont été les compétitions les plus disputées en Afrique. Des mois durant, des rencontres provoquaient d'interminables débats. Le début des années 90 marque une rupture, avec l'avènement d'élections multipartites. Très vite, la compétition électorale devient le sport le plus populaire. Et ainsi que les connaisseurs s'accordent à le dire, tout comme les matches de football, certaines élections méritent d'être applaudies, d'autres sont de tragiques parodies, mais la plupart se situent entre ces deux extrêmes. Vingt ans après le début de l'ère des élections multipartites en Afrique, et alors que 60 élections (présidentielles, législatives et locales) figurent au calendrier cette année, ces trois tendances persistent. En mars dernier, le Bénin a connu sa cinquième vague d'élections nationales depuis 1991. Le président en exercice, Yayi Boni, a obtenu un second mandat et son parti a conservé la majorité au parlement. En
