Democracy and pluralism are under assault in Djibouti. Constitutionally elected dictators are toiling to stamp out the last vestiges of democratic rights and spread their harmful influences to new corners of the country.
Elected leaders are dramatically narrowing their concerns towards national interests while pursuing their blinkered personal agendas of hoarding wealth and power even while the majority of Djiboutians are impoverished and vulnerable to death and diseases.
The farcical presidential elections are apotheosis of an autocratic regime and the ethical decay of democratic powers as it systematically crushes domestic dissent, making it increasingly hostile to fresh demands for better governance.
Breakdown of institutional safeguards like the constitution and courts erode the institutional and conventional barriers that protect freedom for all individuals leading to unchecked brutality, deterioration of political rights of minorities and violation of civil liberties of critics.
Citizen protest movements are confronted with deeply entrenched political leaders that are able to unleash considerable pressure and use of force to maintain power. Without greater support or solidarity protests are likely to succumb to authoritarian reprisals.
Djibouti.org draws attention of the world towards the little known internal crisis and sufferings experienced by Djiboutians. It draws attention to the misuse of democracy and its institutions in Djibouti that proliferate authoritarianism and zero tolerance to dissent and opposition.
Giving voice to the marginalized, exploited and the oppressed, Djibouti.org helps to unite and expand all forces, domestic and international, that are driven towards upholding ideals of democracy and human rights ushering the 2nd Republique of Djibouti.
