Katika kinyang'anyiro chote nne, kanuni za msingi za kidemokrasia ziko hatarini wakati ambapo utawala wa kimabavu unaenea duniani kwa kasi ya kutisha. Kulingana na Taasisi ya V-Dem yenye makao yake Uswidi, inayotumia zana za tathmini za vigezo vingi, uhuru wa kidemokrasia wa raia wa kawaida duniani umeshuka hadi viwango vya mwisho kuonekana mwaka 1978—muda mrefu kabla ya kuanguka kwa Ukuta wa Berlin na kuanguka kwa ukomunisti Ulaya. Kundi hili la chaguzi nne muhimu linaweza ama kusimamisha mwelekeo huo au kuuimarisha. Katika kila kinyang'anyiro, vyama vinavyotetea demokrasia viko kwenye mashindano ya karibu na watawala wa sasa au wanaotamani kuwa kimabavu. Matokeo katika kila kisa yana uwezekano wa kuwa na athari za kuenea katika kanda zao na zaidi. Rais wa Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, anakabiliana na Seneta wa mrengo wa kulia Flávio Bolsonaro katika duru ya pili ya uchaguzi wa urais. Picha: Evaristo Sa/AFP/Getty Images. Siku ya Jumapili, Brazil itafanya uchaguzi wa urais wa duru ya pili huku mgombea wa mrengo mkali wa kulia akiongoza. Akishinda, Flávio Bolsonaro anatishia "kubadilisha katiba," kumsamehe baba yake kwa kupanga mapinduzi, na kulegeza vizuizi vya mazingira—suala muhimu kwa msitu wa mvua wa Amazoni. Siku hiyo hiyo, utawala wa nusu-kimabavu unaoendeshwa na Aleksandar Vučić nchini Serbia kwa miaka 12 iliyopita utakabiliana na changamoto yake ngumu zaidi hadi sasa kupitia harakati isiyo ya kawaida ya maandamano inayoongozwa na wanafunzi inayowasilisha orodha ya wasomi na wataalamu wa teknolojia wasiojulikana sana wanaogombea kwa kaulimbiu rahisi "Serbia au Mafia?" 'Hii ni tishio la kuua': Makundi ya wenyeji yanaogopa ushikaji wa Bolsonaro kwa wapiga kura katika miji ya Amazoni ya Brazil. Soma zaidi. Siku ya Jumanne, itakuwa zamu ya Benjamin Netanyahu kukabiliana na wapinzani wake kwenye sanduku la kura. Kiongozi wa Israel kwa miaka 19 kati ya 30 iliyopita amesimamia kipindi kirefu cha kushuka kwa demokrasia na kuongezeka kwa ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu. Anatafutwa na Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Jinai kwa uhalifu wa kivita na uhalifu dhidi ya ubinadamu huko Gaza, na anaweza kukabiliana na hatari kubwa zaidi ya kisheria kutokana na kesi ya rushwa inayoendelea nyumbani ikiwa atashindwa. Muungano wake wa mrengo mkali wa kulia kwa sasa uko nyuma ya kambi ya upinzani. Tazama picha kwa skrini kamili. Bango la kidijitali huko Tel Aviv, Israel, linalomwonyesha Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump na Waziri Mkuu wa Israel Benjamin Netanyahu linaonyesha ujumbe kwa Kiebrania unaosema 'Rais Trump: Piga kura Netanyahu. Ni pamoja naye tu tutakamilisha misheni.' Picha: Oded Balilty/AP. Tarehe 3 Novemba, mwishoni mwa siku hizi 10 zinazoweza kuwa za kihistoria, urais wa Donald Trump wa mtindo wa kifalme unakabiliana na ukosoaji kutoka kwa wapiga kura wa Marekani katika uchaguzi wa katikati ya muhula, huku angalau chumba kimoja cha Congress, na ikiwezekana viwili, vinaweza kuangukia chama cha Democrats. Hata hivyo, watakabiliana na kazi ngumu ya kujaribu kudhibiti kupita kiasi kwa Trump, ambako kumesababisha Marekani kushuka kwenye Kielelezo cha Demokrasia ya Kiliberali cha Taasisi ya V-Dem. Wakati Marekani itakapohesabu kura zake
