The State of Democracy in Different Regions around the World

According to a survey by Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), only 8% of the world’s population actually lives in a full, functioning democracy.

 

Meanwhile, another 37% of population lives in some type of “flawed democracy”, while 55% of the world does not live in democracy at all, based on the EIU’s latest Democracy Index Report.

 

Factors that have caused numerous declines to country democracy scores in recent years include Events such as the war in Ukraine and restrictive, long-lasting COVID-19 measures. Since the source report first began tracking scores in 2006, the global average has fallen from 5.52 to 5.29.

Visa Openness for African Citizens

When we talk about visa openness and easy travel for African citizens, the most open countries in Africa to list are The Gambia, Benin, and Seychelles. According to the 2022 Africa Visa Openness Report, the three countries do not require a visa from citizens from any country on the continent. In contrast to these countries are Egypt and Sudan, as they rank on the last spots of the list and require a visa from citizens from all other countries.

 

Out of 54, 36 of African countries have improved or maintained their visa openness score since 2016 making Intra-continental travel an ease for African citizens. Partial appreciation is for the start of acceptance of e-visas, growing from 9 countries offering the service in 2016 (when the first report was published) to 24 nations, including South Africa and Morocco, according to last years’ list.

Morocco Breaks New World Cup Ground as an African Nation


When FIFA 2022 started, there was 0.5 percent probability of Morocco to win. Being in a group with strong teams like Belgium and Croatia, Morocco were 200/1 outsiders to win the 2022 Soccer World Cup. Knocking out Spain in the round of 16 followed by the defeat of Portugal in quarterfinals, this African country is now just one step away from reaching the first World Cup final.

The battle of Africa against the deadly Poliovirus

It is no news that Africa has undergone many disasters, including famine and several widespread polio cases all over the African region. The spread of polio cases first began in the year 2000. The rate of these cases kept soaring by every passing year, and by the time, it entered 2005, the cases took a massive spike and reached around 1200. The continent of Africa has now become completely free of this virus after extreme measures.

The Tallest Buildings on Every Continent
For nearly 40 years, the Empire State Building in New York, NY held the title of world’s tallest building. Skyscrapers have advanced so much since it was completed in 1931 that the Empire State Building is no longer even one of the five tallest buildings in New York City. As other countries raced to construct what could be dubbed the tallest building in the world, many interesting skyscrapers and structures were built. Many of the groundbreaking high-rise buildings of the past are dwarfed by the luxury towers of modern times.

Are There Any Countries Safe From COVID-19?
The spread of COVID-19 is extensive and is believed to have reached all corners of the globe. But surprisingly there are some minute parts of the world that have escaped the coronavirus wrath. The following Infographic shows the countries that have not yet reported any case of coronavirus.


Of course, there are some discrepancies on this record. For example, North Korea has not yet identified any case of coronavirus in their region. However, South Korea contradicts these claims and says that the COVID-19 has indeed spread there via the border of China.

Additionally, the media of North Koreas is one of the most strictly controlled in the world and thus makes it hard to determine whether the allegations made by South Korea are authentic or not!

The situation became more confusing when the supreme leader of North Korea – Kim Jong-un mysteriously disappeared from the public eye. During that time, it was presumed that he was either dead or recovering from major heart surgery. However, he finally resurfaced, calming the gossip mongers.

Similar to North Korea, Turkmenistan also has strict censorship rules and remains free from COVID-19 – as of this writing.

African country Lesotho has also not reported any cases of coronavirus, and so are some nations situated on the Pacific Islands including the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.

Child Marriage in Africa

Child marriage is a global issue, one that affects over 15 million girls and boys annually. While it affects countries all over the globe, Africa is the most affected continent of all. This is in part due to the high rate of poverty and low rate of education in the country.
A lot of research has been done into the causes and consequences of child marriage around the world. Awareness is being provided and various NGOs and social work organizations to countries in Africa and other third world countries, especially where there is no minimum legal age of marriage.
