Mo Ibrahim rejected the African leaders \u00a0for second year \u00a0worthy of \u00a0any \u00a0prize, 2009 & 2010. \u00a0It \u00a0easier \u00a0to \u00a0make himself \u00a0Laureate\u00a0than to find one from the African <\/span>Dinosaurs. <\/span>He\u00a0was awarded the European Mercator Fund’s Raymond Georis Prize for Innovative Philanthropy, at the closing plenary of 21st EFC Annual General Assembly and Conference on 4 June \u00a02010.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Whether there is a winner or not, the purpose of the Foundation is to challenge those in Africa and across the world to debate what constitutes excellence in leadership.” (Mo)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Mo understood the true nature of African leadership and their \u00a0Banana Republics. \u00a0May 2010, the African leaders \u00a0acclamed the worst\u00a0dictator \u00a0Melese Zenawie \u00a0 has \u00a0claimed winning an election \u00a0with \u00a0a shameful\u00a0 sliding victory of 99.6%. These \u00a0African leaders do not deserve any kind of prize but that of non governeace and treachery, if there is one. \u00a0 The African leaders \u00a0are not even ashmed to see the froud commited \u00a0 flagrantely in the capital of African Unity Addis Ababa , \u00a0rather prefer to \u00a0endorse such a sham election.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Board respects the decision of the Prize Committee not to select a winner for the 2010 prize. The Prize Committee, which is independent from the Board, is a unique repository of experience and expertise.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Melese Zenawie \u00a0of Ethiopia \u00a0 and Beshir of \u00a0Sudan lost the\u00a0the occasion to win the prize and prefer \u00a0the power \u00a0seat . \u00a0It seems Mo \u00a0is trying in vain to persuade the african dictators to let the power go \u00a0without\u00a0success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Melee & Beshir merit ike their model \u00a0Charles \u00a0Taylor\u00a0\u00a0to visit the ICC than to be\u00a0awarded\u00a0any kind of Prize or lulled to leave power by Mo’s soft \u00a0 methodology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mo would have found \u00a0a lot of\u00a0candidate\u00a0if \u00a0his foundation \u00a0change \u00a0its role and start giving \u00a0prize for the African\u00a0dictators\u00a0\u00a0longevity\u00a0in powers. \u00a0Meles and \u00a0Mo’s \u00a0compatriot \u00a0Beshir \u00a0would have been the first to win, that \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 ” would have\u00a0opened”\u00a0\u00a0Mo many doors around the\u00a0continent’s\u00a0corrupted\u00a0regimes. <\/span><\/p>\n

African leadership prize withheld<\/a><\/h3>\n

Mo Ibrahim African leadership prize withheld again<\/h1>\n

BBC \u00a014 June 2010<\/p>\n

The world’s most valuable individual prize is not being awarded for a second year because no-one is deemed worthy of winning it.<\/p>\n

Sudanese businessman Mo Ibrahim set up the $5m (\u00a33m) prize for African ex-leaders to encourage good governance on the continent.\ufeff\ufeff\"Mo<\/p>\n

“The standards set for the prize-winner are high,” he said, adding that no new candidates had emerged since last year.<\/p>\n

Winners must have been democratically elected and agreed to leave office.<\/p>\n

South Africa’s Thabo Mbeki, Nigeria’s Olusegun Obasanjo and Ghana’s John Kufuor are among those who qualified for last year’s prize after stepping down in the previous three years.<\/p>\n

“It is likely that there will be years when no prize is awarded. In the current year, no new candidates emerged,” said a statement from the Mo Ibrahim Foundation.<\/p>\n

The winners receive $5m over 10 years, and then $200,000 a year for life.<\/p>\n

Mr Ibrahim argues that the prize is needed because many leaders of sub-Saharan African countries come from poor backgrounds and are tempted to hang on to power for fear that poverty is what awaits them when they give up the levers of power.<\/p>\n

Botswana’s former President Festus Mogae won the prize in 2008 after two terms at the helm of one of Africa’s least corrupt and most prosperous nations.<\/p>\n

The inaugural prize was given to Joaquim Chissano, Mozambique’s former president, who has since acted as a mediator in several<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
