GHANA: In Ghana, the opposition candidate, former President John Mahama, just won the presidency, and the VP candidate, Mahamudu Bawumia, has accepted the election result. (Actually, that sounds an awful lot like a mirror image of our 2024 election.)

In some ways and not in other ways. This is the greatest seeming similarity:
"Mahama's previous time in office was marred by an ailing economy, frequent power-cuts and corruption scandals."
But he hasn't been tried and convicted. And while the economy in Ghana seems to be in a shambles, nothing could be further from the truth about the U.S. economy.
And it's still not as bad as when Jerry Rawlings was military dictator in the 1980s holding out for charity from Libya, the Soviets, and Cuba as agricultural output cratered, inter-ethnic tension rose (Rawlings favored the Ewe, who had a bone to pick with the Ashanti), and borders were closed. In the end, he swallowed his pride and took an IMF deal that required a transition to a republic again.
