A critical analysis of the African Union response Aneme, Girmachew Dube, Rumbidzai UCTD Authoritarian regimes Transfer of power African leaders Liberation Dictatorship Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2010. A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Dr. Girmachew Aneme of the Faculty of Law, University of Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia. 2010. The transfer of power to African leaders, at the end of the colonial era gave birth to authoritarian regimes. African Nationalist leaders liberated the continent from the chains of colonialism and bound it in the stone walls of authoritarianism and dictatorship. This is because Africa inherited institutions that were meant to be oppressive of the colonised peoples. These institutions had no room for political pluralism, public participation, free speech, a free press, and free movement among other fundamental rights and freedoms that allow for democratic governance to flourish. Without undergoing major transformations, African governments remained a product of their colonial heritage naturally becoming totalitarian, oppressive and undemocratic. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2011-06-09T13:31:49Z 2011-06-09T13:31:49Z 10-Oct Mini Dissertation * Dube, R 2010, 'Fighting unconstitutional changes of government or merely politicking?
