"As an absolute monarch, elections are not really his thing..."
Following the death of Gabon's Omar Bongo, who was in power for 42 years, the BBC published a story on Africa's 10 longest serving leaders. Eight of these guys have been in power for longer than I've been alive.
I am a researcher in political economy, fair trade and international development currently pursuing a PhD in political science. I am based at Harvard, but frequently travel to Ghana for my research. I love everything related to Africa and development, and in my spare time I play some terrible jazz piano and squash. And occasionally I take some photos with my D60.

Yikes.
EG is number two, represent. Although this is not a list you really can celebrate being a part of. Crazy stuff.
