Building democracy is along term project, especialy in the low developed countrise, it is also afrustrating one.Years of painstaking processs can lead to only atiny step forwards,A moment of madness can set the process back decades, Nowhere is this better illustrated than in Egypt, where the hope and optimism of the Arab spring has already turned to despair and fear,New democracies and foreign powers that support them often i gnore this point. When opposition parties win power, they usually take little care to deliver on their promises.Donors such as France and the United States invest vast amounts of money in supporting elections but sometimes forget that this can be meaningless if they do not defend democratic principles along the way. This is partly why things have gone so wrong in Egypt and why it will take very long to put them right,The lessons of kenya is clear, never take democracy for granted,or the freedom that we have fought so hard for could quickly evaporate It is particularly difficult to build a democracy because, in contrast to an authoritarian regime, democracy depend on widespread support and complian.political leaders and their supporters are unlikely to place their faith in unpredictable political system in which their fiercest rivals may get elected unless there is ahigh degree of trust
