Olusegun Obasanjo: Perbedaan antara revisi

 

Since leading a public campaign against corruption and implementing economic reforms in his country, he has been widely seen abroad as an African statesman championing debt relief and democratic institutions (thrice rejecting government change by coup in the continent of Africa as the chairperson of the [[African Union]]). In 2005 the international community gave Nigeria's government its first pass mark for its anti-corruption efforts. However a growing number of critics within Nigeria have accused Obasanjo's government of selectively targeting his anti-corruption drive against political opponents and ethnic militants, ignoring growing concerns about wide-scale corruption within his own inner political circle. Religious, ethnic and political unrest escalated sharply under Obasanjo's administration from 1999 until 2003, when more than 15,000 people were estimated killed and 80,000 internally displaced. Violence flared again in early 2006 with Christian-Muslim violence in northern and eastern cities and attacks by insurgents in the [[Niger Delta]] against oil industry targets, including kidnapping workers and sabotaging facilities. Human rights abuses by Nigeria's military, of which Obasanjo remains commander-in-chief, continued to occur with troubling frequency under his administration, according to a 2004 U.S. [[State Department]] report. On at least three occasions between 1999 and 2005 -- once in the central state of Benue and also in the towns of Odi and Odiama in the Niger delta state of Bayelsa -- soldiers raided and burned down communities, killing numerous civilians. Obasanjo was criticised by rights organisations including [[Human Rights Watch]] and [[Amnesty International]] for publicly condoning those deadly raids. With his secret bid for a third term in office, Obsanjo seems poised to become one of the most infamous presidents in a line of corrupt and dictatorial leaders in Africa's most populous state.

 

On [[October 23]], [[2005]] (just hours after the crash of [[Bellview Airlines Flight 210]]), the President lost his wife, [[Stella Obasanjo]], [[First Lady]] of Nigeria. Obasanjo has many children, some with his first wife [[Linda Obasanjo|Linda]] (who was assassinated in [[1980]]) and some out of wedlock, who live throughout Nigeria, the [[United Kingdom]] and the [[United States]]. These include [[Dare Obasanjo]], a [[Microsoft]] programmer and developer.
