Rebecca Garang: A Hero Unsung

Abstract

It is one year since the Sudanese peace agreement was signed, and already six quick months since the news of the sudden death of the former First Vice President of the Sudan, Dr. John Garang, hit the airwaves. And we consider it apposite to once again revisit some of the issues thrown up by his death in such a dramatic, albeit agonizing way, with a view to enabling all of us, the ruling elites of Africa especially, draw the appropriate lessons in leadership.
