BBC News - Africa democratic rights advances reversed, says report

BBC News - Africa democratic rights advances reversed, says report:

"Africa is developing economically but some democratic advances have been reversed, an annual index suggests.

The Mo Ibrahim Index of African Governance ranks 53 African countries according to 88 indicators, ranging from corruption to education.

Mauritius is at the top of the list while Somalia is at the bottom.

The index suggests that across Africa, economic and health gains are being undermined by declines in political rights, security and the rule of law."
