Aisha,
My take on this is that,even though there is real dissent and opposition
between these two parties, a state of emmergency has not been declared, the
national guard has not been called out, people are not killing each other in
the streets. On the contrary there is  a lot of dialogue and people are
exercising their democratic rights in a civilized manner.!!!! Our African
Non Leaders have a lot to learn from this event.
