Generally, African leaders come to power in two aspects. Either they gain control by Coup D’etat or by free and fair elections, and at times through inheritance i.e Lethoso. Either way, they end up in a fight against the will of their own people, and become dictators in a short while exception a few. Once treasured Rayaale, president of Somaliland later became infamous for misrule. Well, he precipitated many problems that could lead the country into anarchy at anytime. Injustice is one of the terrible problems attributed to Rayaale. Unfortunately, the majority of Judges and prosecutors in the Ministry of justice are not qualified for the job. Professional conduct is out of hand. Paying a dime or two for bribery, even if you have …show more content…
It shows that 80% of the population is unemployed. According to this report, women make up 55% out of this, while the remaining 25% are men. Only 20% work in government and private sectors. Despite the dimension of the problem, the government did nothing tangible to tackle the problem positively. In addition, the report presented in detail about youth exodus and risks involving death in the high seas, while they are seeking for jobs and better life in every corner of the world. Another scenario, worth mentioning is corruption. Literally, there is no doubt that corruption in all its forms and shapes, be it graft, jobbery, venality, extortion, kickbacks and embezzlement exist within the circle of incumbents in Somaliland, in one way or the other. For instance, Haatuf press charged president Rayaale himself misappropriation of public funds for his personal use many times in the past. Moreover, Haatuf showed on its Front-page pictures of buildings, farms and cars that he has taken illegally from public money. In another incident, Haatuf published how siciid sulub, the most corrupted minister in his cabinet, auctioned government land from Businessmen on behalf of the president. A week later, Rayaale made press conference and confirmed that the minister was right to do so. He said. “The government had no money and that was the only way we could get it.” In the wake of this political gaffe, public trust eroded and the president lost his
Between the years 1881 and 1914, African territory was being invaded by Europeans during the New Imperialism period. Before Europe’s invasion, Africa consisted of various tribes and had no central government due to this during the mid nineteenth century. Europe attempted to colonize Africa using harsh military force and resulted in the European Scramble for Africa. The European Scramble for Africa caused African leaders to have different reactions such as some wanting to have no conflicts, but peace, surrendering to the Europeans due to fear, and also attempting to fight back against the Europeans.
Many factors all contribute to a demand for women workers in new sites and to the disintegration of families under stress from lack of income, causing women to look for alternatives away from home, and migration becomes the solution, even though it poses many pragmatic problems.
In the article, “Flawed Humans, Flawed Justice” by adam Benforado, he talks about how the system is corrupt, he and some people may be unlucky and not receive the equal treatment.
Obtaining a well suitable job is essential to having an enjoyable life. In Latin America, the struggle to achieve this ambitious goal is difficult especially for women. Traditional values and cultural beliefs in Latin American society often explain why women face higher unemployment rates and less job prospects. Additionally, as the global economy becomes advanced due in part to technological innovations, women are often left out as education is seen more important for men. Nonetheless, it is possible for Latin American women to find employment in either formal and informal sector jobs. The difference between working in these sectors is that the working conditions for women are greatly varied in the
In some parts of Africa the Europeans rule which means they ruled through government officials in the area. Some Europeans, however, abused that power. In an article by The Golden Coast Leader they define indirect ruling as a “System by which the political officer can drive the wedge of divide-and-rule through any tendency on the part of the people to come together to develop political ideas” (Document 10). Here, The Golden Coast Leader is showing how the indirect ruling system is not a great idea because it leads to Africans being unstable in running their own government. After having the Europeans run their country for so long the Africans of that nation most likely would not know how to do it for themselves. The Africans have only watched others rule, so they have no experience for themselves. Africans have no freedom in their own home, Nnamdi Azikiwe a young leader in Nigeria's fight for independence, who later became the first president of Nigeria stated, “We demand the right to be free to make mistakes and learn from our experience” (Document 8). Africans wanted to be able to make decisions for themselves and even if they do not make the best choice it’s okay because they can learn from that. Imperialism took that away from them, Africans never got to decide s for themselves. Learning from mistakes would make them grow as a nation, but the Europeans did it
Subsequently, the Committee on Draft National Policy on Criminal Justice (Madhava Menon Committee) emphasized the need for the same. Under the present criminal justice system, wide discretionary powers are awarded to the judges which sometimes results in lopsided, unfair judgments. Even though some basic principles such as proportionality, fairness and deterrence are recognized as forming the basis of the
“We must cut the tall trees, we must cut the tall trees now,” yells an actor in the movie Hotel Rowanda portraying a Hutu extremist. This is a wonderful example of how prejudice leads to full out war in African countries. Moreover, some citizens take it upon themselves to fix something they deem unfit. As portrayed by Nadine in her book the ultimate safari when she writes “our government calls them bandits.” This shows how people attack homes just because they think something is wrong there. What these people don't realize is that if they kill everyone they will not have anyone to rule after the civil war that is sure to ensue. Civil War can lead to other countries seeing a surge in citizens fleeing to their land, in other words the refugees seeking
Arizona State University (ASU) liberty database holds thousands of different articles, for all your needs. The article State Failure, State-Building, and Prospects for a “Functional Failed State” in Somalia, by Ken Menklaus has been recorded to be cited 5 times in all databases within Social Science, Emerging Sources, and in a book. (all data stated within the ASU’s library database) the credibility of the article is not just proven by being part of ASU’s vast collection of articles but also by the man that wrote the article. Reading the article will take time, it’s an article that without a boundless understanding of the subject would sound senseless to the reader. Author Ken Menklaus is a Professor of Political Science at Davison College,
The authors confirm that there exists evidence supporting the fact that many criminal justice processes are unfair and could be described as biased, subjective, inequitable, serving financial morals and grows out of the criminal law. They also conclude from the study that the myth on the criminal justice system being fair is not true from the law making department down to the correctional department.
Young people are confronted with the difficulties of negotiating a labour market that is precarious and exploitative. There are major difficulties of entry, especially into full-time work in the formal and informal waged economic spheres.
Over the previous years, Namibia experienced an increase in the labor force participation of women. Especially between 1997 to 2008 women in labor forces participation increases with 10.7%, compared to men’s labor forces participation which increases with 6.5% in the same period, which is 4.2% less than women labor force participation growth as shown in figure 5. This development reflects a change in society and is caused by factors such as, women high level of education attainment, women independence, affirmative action laws, just to mention few. This shows that as more and more women enter the labor market, and finding no job opportunities many of them enters the mass of unemployed Namibians.
We can notice that the employment rate is more important among women than among men in France, with 8 million unemployed women in 2008. They also have a lower activity rate: 65.5% versus 74.6% for men in 2008. Moreover, one third of them have a part-time job, which leads to a higher poverty rate: 7.4% versus 6.9% (INSEE). As a consequence, women live in more precarious life styles and are sources of various social and economic issues. Thus, there is no economic independence for women and therefore no equality for them. Finally, even though women are very active, the activity rate considerably decreases along with the number of dependent children. Women are consequently more qualified than men, but
They all agree that the independence that Africa fought for did not give them the results they hoped for. Instead, they are face with the same problems they had with the colonizers but they were being oppressed by their own people. The new African leaders are after the treasures of their countries.
The economic and financial crisis has hit the Greece hard, with the population being subjected to austerity measures in exchange for financial support from the EU, IMF and ECB. Those measures were drastic and paradigms changes were forced in all the sectors of economic and business life. However, these changes failed to detect the resolve the problem, resulting in even deeper crisis with the violent drop of the quality of life, sudden decline in social welfare and unemployment hitting very high numbers. In this context, it now described as the Greek brain drain, where young and talented Greeks are forced to leave the country and seek employment and a better life abroad.
Political activities that have often spilled over into violence and hence insecurity are a characteristic feature of Kenya and these have serious implications. Poverty and inequality are a major cause of crime, violence and conflict and therefore general insecurity. More important however is the absence of democratic governance which has led to the manipulation of state institutions giving rise to rampant corruption, ethnicisation of state institutions, absence of accountability and generalized impunity granted to the power elite. The state has thus failed to provide a general state of peace and security and leads people to feeling that the law is applied in a discriminatory manner and that they are abandoned and unprotected.
