Abstract
The purpose of this study is to discuss the role of the European Union (EU) in Africa in the establishment of democracy. Many African countries need the help of Western democracy to pave the way for the democratization process on this continent. The aim of this study is to discover the leading role of the EU in Africa in providing assistance to build strong democratic institutions. Further, the EU as a democratic institution has played an important role in uniting the European countries under its democratic legacy and motivating them to adopt and implement the “Copenhagen Criteria” which are basic principles of the democratization process of the member states in Europe in this sense how the EU has been working on the implementation of the democratic ethos in African countries. On the other hand, the internal situation of African countries differs from that of EU Member States because many countries gained independence in the late 1990s and dozens of countries are in civil war crises in many regions.

A wave of pro-democracy demonstrations and upheavals that began in the regions of the Middle East and North Africa in 2010 and 2011 and that overthrew some of the region's most firmly established authoritarian regimes. The wave started when protests quickly overthrew the regimes in Egypt and Tunisia, sparking attempts to do the same in other Arab nations.
