The dictatorial political system of Kafira is an epitome of many African governments.This kind of government which is very conservative, is characterized by oppression to human rights,both social and political.This is clearly seen in the text,'Betrayal in the City' where any individual who tries to speak his mind is either jailed or killed.
The government oppresses university students rights through shooting Adika,the student leader accusing him of inciting students.The students had gone to the roads to criticize the policy of having influx of expatriates external personnel in the universities. Jere tells Mulili that "Adika ..............was slaughtered like a goat and sacrificed for non existed peace and harmony."
Juspers parents ,Doga and Nina,were both murdered in their own hut.This is because they had insisted to carry out a key traditional rite,the shaving ceremony,but Mulili could not allow. Jere tells them,old people waste your time.There is to be no ceremony."He even adds that the ceremony has been cancelled in the interest of peace.Later, the two old people are found dead in their house.
Mosese speaks his mind during Adika's funeral.The funeral had been turned to political rally."The service was not supposed to take more than ten minutes.The coffin should not be carried by students.Weeping in public is illegal for the academic staff."Mosese should not understand this.He spoke his mind,Due to this one kilogram of opium was planted on him,leading to his arrest and being jailed.
Jere is imprisoned for expressing his discontentment with Mulili. When Jere shouts at Mulili at Adika's graveside ,mulili fore bonds that'............You shall pays for it.'And sure to the word,Jere finds himself behind the bars.In the prison,Jere expresses his opinion about the social' oppression in society."..........the outside of this cell may be well the inside of another.'The askari does not allow any freedom of expression to the inmates.He says "Now don't ask any other foolish questions."
In a nutshell,it is evident that Kafira government is bedeviled by social and political oppression.The citizens' lives have been terminated.Others have their freedom of expression curtailed,others jailed and many other social injustices.
