To broaden our understanding of the wider implications of the CAR and Guinea elections for Africa’s democratic trajectory and regional stability, we now speak with Dr Alexander Rusero, Head of the Department of International Relations and Diplomacy at Africa University in Zimbabwe.
While observers have focused on the immediate electoral processes, broader geopolitical and regional dynamics are at play including security, foreign influence, and the precedent these elections might set in a region that has seen several coups and constitutional changes in recent years. Dr Rusero brings an international relations perspective to help unpack what these electoral outcomes might mean beyond immediate domestic politics.
