Allamagan Posted June 3, 2007 The winner of the first Mo Ibrahim Prize will be announced on 22nd October 2007 Who do you think will win the first Mo Ibrahim Prize? Here is my guess...one of these three guys: Mandela: anti-apartheid activist and a hero, the father of the new south africa. we all know this gentle man. Yoweri Museveni: for his hard work for relative stability and economic growth as well as his effective national responses to HIV/AIDS epidemic in his cauntry. Qadafi: As "reformed character" in the eyes of the west, he emerges as a popular African leader, earned the praise of Nelson Mandela and enjoys a reputation among many Africans. ...God knows!
