What to do with former heads of state when they leave office is a source of debate for many Africans. The African Statesmen Initiative, which is being launched in Mali is hoping to focus on the positive examples of life after office. BBC Africa Live is asking: Is there life after the presidency? Should retired presidents be involved in politics? And should they continue to enjoy immunity?

Ann M. Simmons, Times Staff Writer

NAIROBI, Kenya - As life began to return to normal in Ivory Coast on Monday after a largely bloodless Christmas Eve coup, hope grew that there would be little domestic upheaval if the new military rulers kept their promise to restore democratic rule. Diplomats and analysts said the former French colony--experiencing its first-ever coup after years in which it was among Africa's most stable countries--might follow the example of Nigeria and Niger, where within the last year military regimes handed power back to civilians. <<read more...>>

SDF North American Convention,
Washington DC
27 November, 1999

Keynote Address on "Democratization in Africa:
Prospects for the 21st century"

Chris Fomunyoh, Ph.D.
Needless to say, this convention is taking place a few weeks before the beginning of the next millennium; and so it is the most ideal time to take stock, to assess the past, reflect on the present and contemplate the future. This is the ideal time to look at our continent of Africa, to look at our cumulative struggle as small 'd' democrats, our contribution in ways big and small to the cause in a place dear to our hearts -Cameroon - and ponder upon how far we have come and how distant we still must travel. For this reason I felt it would be appropriate to share with you my thoughts on democratization in Africa and the prospects for the 21st century. << read more...>>
