In the pantheon of great African leaders who have joined the ranks of the ancestors, Kwame Nkrumah, Nelson Mandela, Robert Mugabe, Muammar Gadhafi, Sekou Toure and Gamal Abdel Nasser, it would be impossible to exclude Flight Lt. Jerry John Rawlings from that number.
Mr. Rawlings led the Republic of Ghana for 19 years from 1981 to 2000 as its longest serving president and is credited with successfully transforming Ghana from military rule to a multiparty democracy with consecutive smooth power transfers.
An official state funeral for Mr. Rawlings was held Jan. 27 in Accra, Ghana, the nation’s seaside capital.
Leaders and voices globally remembered the statesman, who passed away in Ghana on November 12, 2020, after a short illness. He was 73-years old.
