Domestic Policies of West Africa

The main topic that West Africa deals with is whether the President Umaru Yar'Adua will deliver his responsibilities to the people. The West African region is also domestically struggling with what efforts the government is proceeding with to make a positive change of matters.

In effort to leave influence on Sierra Leone, the Nigerian nation gave permission to make a blockade against the capital in a summit at Abuja. The domestic policy of this action is to try and change situations that the people do not agree with. The government had also created a peace agreement with Sierra Leone's military government. Trying to maintain peace with Sierra Leone's military government is in best interest for West Africa because people are beginning to blame Sierra Leone for the previous round of fighting.

The people of the Nigerian government are domestically dealing with situations by trying to make peace with Sierra Leone because they claim that they want national peace. They also want the people of each region to vote for a democratic government. By setting a good example for the local and international people of West Africa, democracy in Africa has slight possibilities, and is a working matter.
