african opposition leaders.( lack of unity and leadership)

In reality the opposition is a left force with a mission to explore how to establish a positive role under the opposition leadership, with a different program but sharing a same mission as republicns and democrats,but with different visions.
they need to showcase new hopes and aspirations to the people which they do not do.
the truth is that even if the so called wind of democracy has entered in africa openning the door to multi-party, we need to understand that most african states still have been a one facto ruling party, from the republic of congo to the republic of gabon, from republic of gabon to republic of cameroune, guinea conakri, guinea bissao, guinea equatorial etc....
the opposition haven't done much at all, most of all because the leaders are not united.they rather shoot at each others, splitting instead of taking measures to
The problem with african Opposition Leaders.

unite and face against these regimes which most have been in power since the independence, directly or indirectly.

African opposition passes through a crisis of leadership,disrupted by égoïsme. everyone wants to be leader of the opposition and occupy the first place, hence the inability of the opposition to agree while its leaders share the same vision of change and the same ideas for the development of Africa.
Another factor is that most of these small group opposition leaders, have had to serve this same ruling party that they criticise today ... the other issue of this policy is to support the regime in place elections through party coalition.
those who really stand for real changes, get's tortured and assassinated.
Nobody in the opposition wants to be under another, everyone wants to be above the other, while the presidency is a unique institution. There can't be several presidents of the Republic,but only one.
our oppositions leaders have had alot of chances to lead our nations but due to personal interets, they missed their opportunities;
in Botwana for example; the Botswana opposition has been best known for unnecessarily shooting itself in the foot through splits and half-hearted measures to unite against the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP), which has ruled the country since independence. Indeed, Botswana has remained a multi-party state because of the political magnanimity of the BDP and a democratic culture that has taken root in the country. With its popularity and healthy majority over the years, the BDP would have easily made Botswana a de jure one party state if it so wished.

Currently, the Botswana opposition became in serious state of decline with the possibility to be in line for a thorough wallop in general elections. The country has a number of opposition parties but the main ones, in order of prominence, are the Botswana National Front (BNF), the Botswana Congress Party (BCP), the Botswana Alliance Movement (BAM) and the once dominant Botswana Peoples Party (BPP).
but the leaders of the oppositions not wanting to unite due to slef interets,it created a tension in the oppositions parties.

In Cameroon, the opposition could have won the october 1992 election if they were united behind mr. john fru ndi, like in the center of the opposition there were no understanding,Mr. Biya won the elections with 40 percent votes.

In Guinea conakry, after the militaries capturing the president lasana conte at the palace,like they couldn't agree on how to determine the future of the country,they had no choise but to free him.

Even in the Republic of Congo, after the introduction of multiparty in 1990, president Dennis Sassoun Nguesso lost executive powers as result of the 1991 National Conference and was subsequently defeated in the 1992 presidential election by Pascal Lissouba. like in Mr.Lissouba government,they couldn't agree with their new president, whom for me, eye believe that he is the most intelligent president that the country have ever had. the situation favored Mr. Sassou Nguesso to come back to power 5 years after through a civil war. staying pesident during the transition , and to win the 2002 presidential election which lacked meaningful opposition participation.

But, all opposition leaders weren't so bad, we have countries in africa which has been a good example of democracy in africa; countries such as Ghana with the presidential election of john kufuor.
with the victory of the presidential election of Mr. Abdoulay Wade in Senegal.

but still most of our opposition parties have had opportunities to make a change in the leadership of our nations, but egoistic, selfishness, made us all lose hope.
as long as the opposition leaders won't understand this, it will be difficult to arrive to power for the african people.
we also need the international community to help Africa out of the lethargy by putting pressure on its current leadership, to manage its resources in a transparent manner.
the opposition leaders should most of all also work with the youth,give the african youth a chance to practice a new type of leadership with a new policy.

Conclusion:
eye believe that if our martyrs have had the chance to rule correctly, we wouldn't really need an opposition, because they were devoted for africa's matter. they lived as they died for africa, but like us african, are whom we are. we do not see far, and forget so easily that is why we left the enemies of africa kill and murder our prophets , our hope , and here we are paying the price to have murdered lumumba, sankara, ngouabi,cabral, machel and many more.
eye do believe that africa still has good leaders,but not in these oppositions,
they are outside of africa,all around the world, because the situation home is so desorganized. those in power will never give them a chance, instead they will kill them.
africa's real opposition are the africans students whom after graduating in foreign countries can't even go back home because there's no job for the youth..it are them whom are going to make a change in africa, but in africa not staying outside of africa. for that we all need to come together and take the destiny of africa in our own hands with our tears, sweat and blood.
