Democracy is quite often fragile in many countries. Even in the world's longest active democracy in the United States, it now feels under threat like never before.
But this is particularly true for much of the underdeveloped world, which of course includes Africa.
Today, Africa's largest nation, Nigeria, is holding a major election. These elections are regarded as the most open and transparent elections for Nigeria since that nation switched from military rule to a democracy back in 1999.
Current Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari is finishing up his second term, and thus has reached the limits according to the Nigerian constitution. So a new leader is in the process of being elected into office in today's election.
