What They Never Told You: Ayatollah Khomeini Was a Great Jurist, Not a Fanatic
The West gave Iran a name â theocracy â and buried the reality beneath it. They never told you that Khomeini spent decades mastering one of the most rigorous legal traditions in human history, or that he built a constitutional republic ratified by 98 percent of the Iranian people in a free referendum.

For millions of Nigerians battling insecurity, unemployment, poverty, inflation, and inadequate infrastructure, democracy must mean more than periodic elections.
