Commentary
Kwame Nkrumah (1906-1972) est le père de l’indépendance du Ghana et son premier président. Dernier premier ministre de la Côte-de-l’Or en 1951 sous administration britannique, il remporte une victoire écrasante aux élection législative de 1957, ce qui oblige le Royaume-Uni à concéder l’indépendance le 6 mars 1957. Le pays est rebaptisé Ghana qui devient une république au sein du Commonwealth en 1960. Intérieurement les mauvais résultats économiques accentués à partir de 1962 par une politique collectiviste entraînent un durcissement politique. Il sera renversé en 1966 et mourra en 1972 à Bucarest..
Kwame Nkrumah (1906-1972) is the father of Ghana's independence and its first president. The last prime minister of the Gold Coast in 1951 under British administration, he won a landslide victory in the 1957 parliamentary elections, forcing the United Kingdom to grant independence on March 6, 1957. The country was renamed Ghana, which became a republic within the Commonwealth in 1960. Internally, the poor economic performance, accentuated from 1962 by a collectivist policy, led to a political hardening. He was overthrown in 1966 and died in 1972 in Bucharest.
