What really is "Democracy"?

I feel dat "democracy" shud be redefined to suite what happens in reality. Especially in the African scenario.
I think that "Democracy" simply does not explain all situations. it is a word used to define the systems in the west. But theres need to be other types of democracy, like an "islamic democracy" or an "African democracy" that will be similar to Western democracy but also different. one thing people in the west dont understand is that democracy is a facade, or a disguise in some countries. What we dotn realise is that a country may claim democracy for reputation, but not actually be practicing it. How is it a democracy if the citizens of the country have a gun put to their head so that they vote for the same President? or citizens are totured/arrested/killed for divergence and opposition of views from the ruling gvts. How is it democracy if the government is stealing all the aid money for its own pockets, if people are hungry?

This question really troubled me for a long time, buddie. I have found an answer.
First, lets see the following definitions:
Monarchy:A tyrant rules the people with muscle, money and the medium of fear.
Anarchy: People let loose without a leader , without any ideals just like headless chicken. Violence is rampant.
Theocracy: Lunatic clergy ruling in the name of God but doing exactly opposite to what God would have wanted them to do.
Democracy: A group of people posing as people's representatives, rule the people by fraud, soothing hypnotic speeches, inaction and above all, perpetuate the worship of demon in the name of secularism. no wonder, the so called democracies are exhibiting these symptoms, well, openly.
then what are we left with? are there no modes of governments that people could actually put their trust in?
Yes! there is. Kingdom of Love, where the King is chosen from the best of Lovers of peace, truth, justice and Love itself. Is it possible? Well! I hope, it is.

If God wills, I shall visit Africa and probably settle there, for the sake of Love. and we shall see, who wins Love or evil?
