Whilst this has gone unnoticed by the media and the general populace, those of us who study international politics are aware of the landmark elections that took place in Angola this week. These are only the second elections to held in Angola since it gained independence in 1975. Whilst there is room for guarded optimism, the elections have currently hit a snag as the opposition party (UNITA) is in all likelihood going to contest the elections. This is not an inherently unstable move, but the possibility that the events may mirror the post-92 elections is real. Hopefully, there will be a stable resolution to this allowing Angola to continue down a path to become a stable democracy similar to Ghana. I know some are insisting that the current wave of democracy is in a recession, but I am hopeful there will be a stable resolution.
