Beschreibung
I have been involved in the field of transportation all my life – especially civil aviation and aviation law. At the age of 85, I have decided to publish a book about the dictatorships that exist today. If there are any inaccuracies, I kindly ask for your indulgence. Dictatorships are designed to dominate and rule. In a dictatorship, people are told what to do and what not to do. Sometimes, a person, a family, a political party, or a military junta exercises unlimited power. Dictators often come from the military. Since 2020, there have been military coups in Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Burkina-Faso, and Sudan. The French army, which had contributed to political stabilization in numerous African states, was unfortunately asked to leave their countries by the new military rulers. Instead, the Russian mercenary force Wagner took over the previous tasks of the French army. Destabilization takes place wherever the Wagner mercenary force is active. In addition, the Islamist terrorist organizations in Africa have exacerbated the precarious situation. Some dictators have gone to school or studied in Europe: the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, Syria’s ruler, Bashar al-Assad or the leader of the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot. Once military rulers have taken power, there is rarely a democratic transition of power. Although many African countries have enormous natural resources, they also have significant conflicts, which lead to refugee flows within Africa, Asia, and Western Europe. I have tried to trace the dictators’ lives and have listed their ranking status: Democracy, World Press, and Corruption.
