Ellen Johnson Sirleaf , the principal lady equitably chosen as a head of state in Africa, was granted the $5 million Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership on Monday for "extraordinary initiative" in the result of Liberia's thoughtful war.
Ms. Johnson Sirleaf administered Liberia, a little West African country that was established by liberated slaves from the United States, for a long time. At the point when she left office a month ago and gave the capacity to George Weah, a previous soccer star, it was the nation's first tranquil, fair change of intensity in 73 years.
"She assumed control over a nation that was crushed and broken by 14 years of common war, and was later struck again by the Ebola emergency," the prize reference stated while including "Such an excursion can't be without certain inadequacies. Today, Liberia keeps on confronting numerous difficulties."
Built-up in 2006, the Ibrahim Prize goes to equitably African pioneers who have left office after their "intrinsically commanded term." Ms. Johnson Sirleaf is the main lady to be granted the prize.
