What happens to the citizens of a nation when their government struggles to protect their basic rights, and how do these citizens respond?

The basic right in services which the developing African nations struggled to provide for their citizens are basic social and economic services such as health care, education, transport infrastructures, economic growth, basic human rights, etc. The inability to provide these services stem from the different bottleneck problem that are being experienced in these countries. Problems such as corruption, terrorism, education and knowledge gap, health and poverty, etc.

they remained in rural areas and worked at jobs such as lumbering or farming.

i would say that the politicial parties from state to state varies.
