Crystallizing thoughts into words is a good exercise---I find it forces me to fully mature my ideas.
It's okay, expected even, to create an imperfect definition on your first try; we can workshop it! Would you add or change something to mine?
Alternatively, in practical rather than theoretical terms, what could Traore do to make his state democratic?
Edit: Sorry, not trying to grill you, comrade. You can consider this a question posed to the community at large.
Nah I don't feel grilled dw
I think the definition you wrote doesn't resonate with me is that it doesn't seem to value consultation with the people. Not really a definition but a theme that I'd try and encapsulate.
I'd say that Traore didn't come to power democratically, but i would say that everything I've seen so far has democratic support, which is more important. It wouod be great to see that support confirmed in an election, but I understand that there some things more important to focus on than increasing the level of democracy right at this exact moment.
