Watching the unfolding dramatic events in Nigeria and the silence of the UN one wonders if the UN is ready for the kind of “child” that this political drama is capable of bringing forth.
My question.
What is the difference between a rigged election and a successful bloodless coup? If a president uses all government apparatus to rig election either to prolong his tenure or to fix his loyalist in office so as to succeed himself, has he committed a crime like a coup plotter?
What if the UN appoints neutral electoral body for Africa rather than sending troops as war observers?
