Democratic transition

Hello there! Today we're going to talk about something called democratic transition, which is a big phrase that means when a country changes from having a non-democratic government (where only a few people have power) to having a democratic government (where everyone gets a say in how the country is run).

You know how when you and your friends are playing a game, sometimes one person gets to make all the rules and the others have to follow them? Well, that's kind of what a non-democratic government is like. Just a few people are making the rules, and everyone else has to follow along even if they don't like it.

But in a democratic government, everyone has a voice in making the rules! It's like when you and your friends get together and decide together what game you want to play and what the rules will be. That way, everyone has a say and nobody feels left out or powerless.

A democratic transition is when a country decides to make this kind of change. Maybe they used to have a government like the one we talked about before, where only a few people had power, but now they want to change to a system where everyone gets to have a say.

It's not always easy to make this kind of change, and sometimes it can take a while. But it's an important step towards a fairer and more equal society, where everyone has an equal chance to have their voices heard and their needs met.
