Perhaps the most striking thing in the minds of Westerners is that Islam allows polygamy. The first thing to clarify is that Islam does not consider polygamy to be a universal system.

Senegal is a country seen by the West as a better country for democracy, but it is a more stubborn country.

What's more, in Africa, there are heads of state who have publicly defended polygamy. For example, when a 2003 report by the United Nations pointed out that one of the reasons for Swaziland's too many HIV carriers was polygamy, the country's king, Mswati III, turned out to sing out on TV. It turns out that polygamy is completely legal in this country, and a man can marry several wives. The 37-year-old King Mswati III has had nine wives and two "fiances" since his first marriage at the age of 18.
His father, King Sohuza, according to his official autobiography, married a total of 120 wives during his reign from 1921 to 1982. With Swaziland's AIDS carriers approaching 40% of the population and the highest in Africa, the country's king's speech shocked both domestic and foreign. According to the Africa Network, in many governments in Africa today, many ministers practice polygamy, and even the presidents of individual countries are polygamous, such as South African President Zuma.
