Perhaps not in the 1984, complete lock-down sense. The countries my husband is examining in his book on are Ethiopia, Equatorial Guinea, and Rwanda. The premise of the book is how these governments are totalitarian and why regimes like these keep springing up in Africa. I'm not a political expert, but he is, and I trust his opinion on the matter. He says they meet the full definition of totalitarianism.
