Washington — President Obama’s July 10–11 visit to Accra,
Ghana, will be a “historic occasion,” says Assistant
Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson. He
says it recognizes the progress Ghana has made —
particularly in the area of democratization — which serves
as an example to the rest of Africa.
In a June 17 interview with America.gov, Carson commended
Ghana for holding “a very successful presidential and
parliamentary election in December [2008] and January of
this year, which resulted in President John Atta Mills
coming to power. It was the fifth successful democratic
transition of power since the end of military rule there,
but, more importantly, for all of Africa, [it serves] as an
example of the power of democracy. It was the second time
that the opposition party defeated the incumbent party,
which clearly suggests that democracy has taken deep and
strong root in Ghana.”
