Transition from military regime to civilian rule by Brownson, Samuel O.Samuel Brown
Political transition in Nigeria has been based not only on the military ruler's conviction that civil rule was desirable but also on the expectation of the people that, after the military performed its rescue operation, it should turn power over to civilians.

In reality the true enjoyment of democracy is the privilege of Power Wielders. Non- Power Wielders enjoy the perceptions of democracy without its reality. What finally determines in controlled democracy is who the Power Wielders are. And who determines who will become the Power Wielders are those who hold the guns that are paid for by the taxpayers (public / people). Myanmar is a classic example of a country that demonstrates the scenario of what happens to democracy when the taxpayers’ guns turn on them.

A three-judge panel of the Peruvian Supreme Court has sentenced former President
Alberto K. Fujimori to 25 years in prison after convicting him of human rights abuses.
The abuses included the killing of 25 people by a military death squad created by Mr.
Fujimori in the early 1990s as the country was locked in a bloody conflict with Maoist
rebels.
The case has stirred old tensions in Peru, where Mr. Fujimori, 70, remains a popular
figure after subduing two rebel groups during his years in power, from 1990 to 2000.
Almost 70,000 people were killed in the war with the Maoist guerrillas, known as the
Shining Path, and the smaller Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement.
quot;We feel completely satisfied,quot; said Gisela Ortiz, 36, whose brother, a student, was one of
the death squad's victims in 1992. quot;The criminal apparatus that was used to commit these
crimes has been exposed.quot;
Specialists in international human rights law closely followed the case because of its
implications for other former or current heads of state who might face charges of war
crimes and other abuses. Mr. Fujimori was convicted of murder, aggravated kidnapping
and battery, as well as crimes against humanity.
The verdict Tuesday, which he said he would appeal, follows a long saga. Mr. Fujimori
fled to Japan in 2000 and arrived in Chile in 2005 with a plan to return to power in Peru,
only to be extradited by Chile in 2007 to stand trial.
2. quot;The charges have been proved beyond all reasonable doubt,quot; Cesar San Martin, the chief
judge of the panel, said Tuesday in the courtroom at a base for special forces on the
outskirts of Lima.
In a previous case, Mr. Fujimori had already been sentenced to six years in prison for
ordering an illegal search, while his government was collapsing in 2000, of the residence
of the wife of Vladimiro Montesinos, his former intelligence chief. With that sentence to
run concurrently with the 25-year sentence handed down on Tuesday, less the time Mr.
Fujimori has served since his extradition two years ago, he could remain in prison until
2032.
The verdict came after a trial that lasted more than a year and was broadcast on television
in Peru. Among other things, the judges found Mr. Fujimori guilty of the murders of 15
people, including an 8-year-old boy, at a barbecue in the Barrios Altos area of Lima, and
of 10 people who were abducted in 1992; their burned bodies were found a year later
outside Lima.
The killings were carried out by a shadowy squad of military intelligence officers, known
as the Colina Group. In testimony last week, Mr. Fujimori said he had not authorized the
murders or kidnappings.
quot;I had to govern from hell,quot; he said. quot;That is why I am being judged.quot;
The panel of judges also found him guilty of overseeing the kidnappings of Gustavo
Gorriti, a prominent journalist, and Samuel Dyer, a businessman, in 1992. Both men were
later freed.
Mr. Fujimori still faces two additional trials on corruption charges. The Supreme Court
could take four to six months to rule on his appeal of the conviction on Tuesday, legal
experts said.
As the verdict was read, Mr. Fujimori sat alone and silent in the courtroom, writing on a
notepad.
Outside the building, hundreds of his supporters faced off in shouting matches with
people who had turned out to demonstrate against Mr. Fujimori, who is known in Peru as
Chino, although his ancestry is Japanese. Riot police officers tried to separate the two
groups, but some clashes took place.
Some of Mr. Fujimori's followers brandished signs reading quot;Fuerza 2011,quot; or quot;Force
2011,quot; a reference to Peru's presidential election in two years; his daughter, Keiko
Fujimori, 34, a congresswoman, is a candidate for president. Ms. Fujimori has said that if
she is elected, she will pardon her father.
quot;My indignation is immense to listen to this judgment full of hate and vengeance,quot; Ms.
Fujimori said of the verdict, in televised comments.
3. Others disagreed with that assessment, pointing to detailed testimony during the trial, the
report of Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and documents declassified by the
United States government.
A State Department cable on Aug. 23, 1990, for example, described information from a
Peruvian intelligence source, a former naval officer, who said that the plan to carry out
extrajudicial assassinations of terrorism suspects had quot;the tacit approval of President
Fujimori.quot; Ernesto de la Jara, director of the Legal Defense Institute, a human rights
organization in Lima, described the judges' verdict as quot;an impeccable sentence.quot;
