The winds of change
Dear Editor,
We are living in exciting times. Unlike two decades ago when the United States and other western countries were prepared to turn a blind eye to dictatorial regimes, we now are witnessing a situation where the United States is throwing its full weight behind the struggle for democratic reforms as manifested in countries which hitherto were allies of the United States but now engulfed in the vortex of democratic waves.
Egypt, Yemen and Tunisia are the more recent examples. The Ivory Coast and support for the outcome of the referendum in Sudan are also indicative of US support for democratic reforms.
A similar situation obtains in Haiti where the United States administration is weighing in on democratic reforms.
It is now evident that the winds of democracy are blowing across the globe thanks to the end of the Cold War and concomitant superpower politics.
