"Without more teeth and follow-through by international actors, Africans are doomed to be treated as third-class citizens by the ruling elites and their supporters. As the military clamps down on ordinary Ugandans desperate for a political voice, and a choice for change, you have been warned of the bloody consequences. Silence translates into complicity in the vote rigging and brutalisation of opposition on the continent, as it did with the Tanzania elections. Such silence only entrenches and fuels dictatorships and the decline in democracy." - H.E. Ian Khama, former President of Botswana. Thank you very much, President Khama, for not choosing silence at this profound moment in history. https://t.co/Ixe51rL9HH
