In the 1990s, the wind of democratization blew across Africa. Many people have longed for a better tomorrow. Unfortunately, ’’the mountain gave birth to a mouse’’, because it is struggling to take root in Africa. This paper focuses on analyzing democracy in Africa through its strengths and weaknesses. To get there, the following countries were considered: Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, The Democratic Republic of Congo, and Algeria. This is because of attempts to entrench democracy and election-related crises. This work, both qualitative and quantitative, is based on data collection techniques and tools (interview guide, questionnaire, and documentation). The study presents the results from the field. It explains some democratic progress made in African countries (integration of women into positions of responsibility). It also analyzes the democratic deficit through rigging of elections (ballot boxing or electoral technology), corruption, despotism, and diseases in short bad governance. The existence of situations of discomfort shows the need for a deconstruction of democratic management in African states.
