Editor's note

There have been some democratic victories for the African continent over the past 12 months - but too many of the continent’s leaders still refuse to adhere to term limits and cling to power when they’re legally required to step down. Kealeboga J Maphunye examines how this hunger for power can be addressed for the good of democracy.

And in Indonesia, a transit country, refugees and asylum seekers face homelessness and depression. As countries around the world limit their refugee intakes, Indonesia should do more to support them, writes Anbar Jayadi.
