@@axelandersson6314 first it was only the "Pied Noirs" Frenchs born in Algeria. Napoleon 3rd expend the nationality to the native Jewish population of Algeria to get more taxes. The majority of the population did eventually get the citizenship, after 2 WW. It was too late though, independance mouvements were spreading

[@Skikdii]

Algerians we're not even considered as citizens but as animals, they couldn't even speak their own language in public places couldn't own lands, we're ineducated and most werent able to study, had to pay taxes called "impôts arabes" and were exposed to annual massacres and famines, more than 3 millions of them died during colonization

Currently there are 3 sovereign monarchies in Africa: Morocco, Lesotho and Eswatini. But a good number of countries have presidents for life basicly, with near absolute powers. Some of these presidents are even being succeeded by their own sons. - Like Chad, where the president was recently killed in a battle against rebels, and his son was quickly announced as his successor.

[@GustavoHenriquedsl]

I read in an article that Congo-Brazzaville, Eritrea, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Togo have dictators who want their sons to succeed them.

[@juantamayo5295]

[@bbenjoe]

[@ashcoria1268]

Cool to see how the governments of Africa change. While the Central African Republic was under an authoritarian dictatorship in the 1970s, from 1976 to 1979, their dictator Bokassa declared himself Bokassa I and proclaimed the Central African Empire. Technically, Central Africa from 1976 to 1979 would be an "absolute monarchy with an authoritarian dictatorship".

[@axelandersson6314]

Oddly enough, Botswana has ranked above France on the Democracy index, but it is clearly a one party state.

[@fullcirclehistory]

A one party state is a country where all other political parties are banned except for one. Botswana does allow other parties and they campaign in regular elections

[@dontreadmyprofilepic2124]

It's a not really an one party state, it's just that the same party has won all of the elections

Not bad, but I'd colour South Africa as a dominant party / one party state.

[@CostasMelas]

I didn't put it because it had a multi-party system, but indeed one party actually dominated power

[@CKyIe]

@@CostasMelas oh yes, that's fair enough. I suppose it's easier to draw the line at countries who are open about being one party states. More objective. I stand corrected.

[@bastian182]

Botswana is a democracy, they just elected the same guy over and over again because he was doing a great job and the people still elect the candinates from the same party because of there first president.

I hope another video for Australasia will be released.

[@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns]

I think you mean Oceania as Australasia, according to some definitions, might only mean just Australia and New Zealand. Oceania, by contrast, always means Australia, New Zealand, Melanesia (New Guinea, Fiji, Solomons, Vanuata, New Caledonia), Polynesia (Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, French Polynesia, etc) and Micronesia.

[@milotura6828]

little history. Algeria actually got rid of its one party state domination in 1990 when the FLN(the one party) decide to allow election with many parties. Unfortunately one of those parties was a Salafist party that took inspiration from Iran. They actually almost own with a majority of the seats and votes. Military intervened leading to a civil conflict called The Black Decade with similar intensity to that of say The Troubles in Ireland. The war ended in 2000 and the government allowed multiparty elections again but many have grown loyal to the FLN do to the Revolution and the Civil war.

[@parapoliticos52]
