childhood was coming back right in front of his eyes. My dad’s party became the opposition. The municipal elections that followed were a complete nightmare. For the first time since 1990, independent observers, foreign and local, were refused accreditation to monitor the election.

In 2016, Africa, in addition to local elections, held 16 presidential elections. In addition, the power of social media was seen during the Arab Spring in 2011, in what was called a “social media revolution” (Shearlaw, 2016).
