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?

As for me, DEMOCRACY is the observance of the rule of law and the acceptance of freedowm of speech, movement etc for everyone.
this means that power should come from the people to determine by themselves who should be their political leaders or those forming the government.
it is against this background that those in authority should see themselves as servants for the people and not masters of the people as it is offten seen in most countries.

Democracy has become a matter of ethics. Nothing more or less. Some may find one thing democratic while another thinks it to be completely opposite. Unfortunately, it has become an opinion.
