Should the African Military High Command be tasked to help deliver election materials to polling stations on time in all member nations?

Dear critical-reader, in a continent in which there is consensus that democracy is the best governance system, and therefore ought to be empowered to thrive,  should the African Union  (AU),  not task the African Military High Command, to help deliver election materials to polling stations on time in all member nations?


The Democratic Republic of Congo, a potential global power, is now holding national elections to select local, regional and national leaders, even as we speak.


The question that wise and aspirational Africans ought to ponder over is: If we want democracy to thrive across the continent, is a potentially powerful and wealthy African nation, such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo  (and, for that matter, every other nation in the continent of Africa), not  deserving of assistance from all its sister nations that are member nations of the AU, to empower its  election officials to deliver election materials to all polling stations, during nationwide elections in which duly registered  voters, can select their leaders, democratically,  in a free and fair election?


The bald truth, is that delivering election materials to all polling stations in every democratic nation on the continent, on time,  has always been a logistical nightmare. That's understandable for Civvy Street officialdom.


Yet, if we think creatively, we will wake up to the fact that that logistical  nightmare, which African Civvy Street officialdom  have to contend with, in AU member nations ,  could actually be suitably repurposed,  and underpinned by assistance from African militaries, and smoothly executed, across the continent. Simple.   


Delivering election materials to tens of thousands of polling stations, simultaneously, is a logistical task for which all African  militaries are eminently suited.


A core part of military planning that ensures effective and efficient execution of all strategic missions alloted the three  armed services, that make up African armed forces, by their High Commands, is logistical planning and execution.


They are key and pivotal parts of national Military High Commands' mission-success-assuarance architecture,  when strategising  for deploying units  from all their three armed services (i.e. armies, air forces and navies), which combine to form national armed forces,  tasked to defend their nations' sovereign territories.


In light of all the above, dear critical-reader, one's humble opinion, as a commited Pan-Africanist (who believes that democratic governance will anchor the coming African Renaissance, which the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), now makes inevitable),  is that  the time has now definitely come for the AU to task the African Military High Command, to plan for missions across the continent, to help local  electoral commssion officials to deliver election materials to polling stations across Africa, on time, during national elections, in all AU member nations. Simple. Case closed. A word to the wise. Yoooooooooo...
