Africa Leaders Scorecard - Mills Gets "A"

John Atta Mills is one of five African leaders ranked "A" by the EastAfrican Magazine.

The A-listers, which includes Navinchandra Ramgoolam (Mauritius), Pedro Verona Rodriques Pires(Cape Verde), Ian Khama(Botswana), Hifikepunye Pohamba (Namibia)- respect democratic process, stimulate business growth, undertake effective development programmes to lift their populations out of poverty and refrain from provocative or warlike actions. These outstanding few tend to be brilliantly educated, have the sterling credentials one would expect of world leaders, and can use diplomatic charm to secure bigger foreign aid donations:<
